Monsvale County
Well I reworked the first chapter so it's not as bad as before. the main character is ryu, a 14 boy who has once again moved to another place with his legal guardians but they have settled down in the mountains of Appalachia, in the off-skirts of the small town which isn't so innocent either.
Another Monster Story (The Swamp Thing)
When Bo Bishop was a kid, his grandaddy always told him about a monster that lived in the swamp nearby. Bo never would've admitted it, but he believed every word. Now he's all grown up, on his own, and about to come back to the swamp for the first time in nearly ten years. He's old enough to know better now. But the swamp has this way of reminding you why you used to fear it. Cover by carolina cruz Chapter header image by the_black_stevonnie on instagramComplete
Fresh Mountain Start
John's husband, Gary, wanted to get out of the city. He wanted to be a homeowner, to live the good life in the countryside, away from the hustle and bustle, and somehow, he talked John into it. For Gary, everything is perfect. For John, not so much. And things go from bad to worse when, one morning, John is awoken by sounds in the driveway. Why did the neighbours warn him about strange things happening in the mountains? Who left him a note telling him not to make noise at night? And who, or what, is moving around in the garden when the sun goes down? This short story was inspired by the horror stories the author has read about the Appalachian mountains, and by the existential dread of modern life. Hope you enjoy!Complete
