bodyhorror butcherbird canada canadianhorror horror prairies psychological shrike survivalhorror texttospeech thriller

The vast prairies of rural Saskatchewan seem the perfect getaway to escape the pandemonium of city life. It's an empty place to unload one's whirling thoughts, a quiet place to rest one's head when it's fit to burst. But the prairie's aren't all-together empty, and in a world so famously vacant there's nowhere to hide.

A horror short just in time for Halloween :)

Dishonoured 🌿 Book 2.5 by HollandWeathers

« WAM book two point five » A lifetime of training, routines, rituals, all thrown away. Ten of his elders, his own parents, telling him he's worthless, a disgrace. Aidan might have been able to live with that if not for the knowledge that his brother is a murderer because of him. He's had years to get over this, but it never gets easier. Now all of a sudden Aidan is expected to put that behind him, pretend it never happened, and step up into the very role he had been forbidden. The disgraced former heir to the North American pack, now an alpha to a pack of nomads. What a cruel joke. His life had been on hold for so long, he forgot how to move forward. After all the innocent lives he had seen ruined in the wake of his poor decision making, how could he simply move forward? He had seen for himself just how volatile their kind could be. Every week, he sits beside temptation, and every week he balks at the thought of what could happen to her if just one thing went wrong. [ THIS BOOK CONTAINS: profanity, violence, death, suggestive content (steamy), drug & alcohol use ] ◇ Length: 28,000 words ◇

anatomy of hunger by coltdoesntwritealot

Rowan Graves has always been sickly-weak, frail, and prone to illness. But when an unexplained hunger consumes him, it's no longer just his body that's changing; it's his very existence. As the hunger deepens, Rowan's once-persistent appetite for food morphs into a grotesque craving for human flesh. At first, he resists, terrified by the thought of hurting anyone, but his body begins to transform, and the need becomes undeniable. His muscles stretch and shift unnaturally, his teeth sharpen, and his mind becomes clouded by the voices of those he's devoured-haunting remnants of his victims, still trapped inside him. Desperate to find a cure, Rowan plunges into the darkness of his family's past, discovering horrifying secrets that might explain his condition-and a family curse that has plagued generations. But every day he survives, the hunger grows stronger, pulling him toward something far darker than he could have ever imagined. Now, with no choice but to feed, Rowan must navigate the terrifying reality of living as a monster, all while trying to hold onto whatever remains of his humanity. In a world where hunger is never satisfied, Rowan Graves must choose whether to embrace the monstrous urge within him-or fight to keep the last vestiges of himself alive.

Feast by Chunnu_Bhoi

In a haunting tale of primal instincts and dark desires, a hunter revered for his prowess in the wilderness finds his ultimate prey not in the forest but in the heart of a woman he loves. Drawn together by a secret, intense connection, their clandestine meetings in the dense, shadowy woods awaken something sinister within him. Inspired by a brutal lesson he once witnessed-a tiger mercilessly taking down its prey-the hunter's affection transforms into a deadly obsession. His love becomes a twisted game of dominance and possession, leading to a night of unimaginable horror where he enacts a gruesome ritual, consuming her flesh in a grotesque communion with his inner darkness. Fleeing to a new city, he attempts to hide from his past, taking up a job and blending into the mundane routine of urban life. But the forest, with its haunting memories, remains a constant whisper in his mind, urging him to hunt again. In this chilling story, the line between humanity and the beast is blurred, revealing the terrifying power of unchecked desires and the darkness that lurks within us all. Caution: Includes Animal Assassinations'
