Perhaps you someday walked through a park and there you passed by a statue. Perhaps you asked yourself about the man on the pedestal, you asked yourself why he was honored and when he had died. Perhaps you even met a local who could explain everything you - but sometimes, nothing is like it seems.

A short horror story, influenced by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.

The Song of Edgar Halford by WhispersBeyond
1 part Complete
In The Song of Edgar Halford, a visionary entrepreneur ventures into a remote valley to establish a grand inn and bring life to an untouched landscape. But as the foundation rises, unsettling occurrences take root: shadows that seem to move, sounds that hum in the earth, and workers who vanish without explanation. The valley itself feels alive, and Edgar's determination to build his legacy clashes with the growing fears of those around him-especially his wife, Marian, who begins to hear a song no one else can truly understand. As the strange melody grows louder and the mist thickens, Edgar confronts the unraveling of not just his plans but the very fabric of reality. The story weaves themes of ambition, obsession, and the terrifying beauty of forces beyond human comprehension, creating an atmosphere of mounting dread in a world where silence holds secrets and sound shapes existence.

"Nature is full of such illusions to impress the imaginative." - H. P. Lovecraft In a lone dark place, away from the prying of civilization, deep down beneath the kingdom of rats, was a dimly lit room. Nothing was on it. Except for a rather unpleasant scenery. A woman strapped tightly on a shabby torture rack, with her was a psychopatic being with an obvious devious track on mind. He tells her stories. Stories that will keep her company for a while. But will she even be alive before it all ends? ----Complete-----
