Film archivist Muriel Sharpe's dreams come true when she is tasked with salvaging a derelict movie theater and uncovers a treasure trove of lost film prints from Hollywood's golden age. Instead of reporting them to her bosses as she was instructed, resentful Muriel decides to have her own private film festival to experience the forgotten gems as they were meant to be seen -- on the silver screen. But what the opinionated young woman isn't prepared for is Shriek of the Harpy, a notorious horror picture directed by a sadistic, misogynist auteur that features a terrifying female monster drawn from ancient mythology. When running the twisted bit of celluloid proves too great a temptation to resist, Muriel unwittingly unleashes a nightmare that seeks to destroy her mind, body and soul.

5 Vile & Ignoble Tales by mr_achelaw
6 parts Complete
This is a collection of five miscreant tales: "The Grotesque There Is", "A Mere Clock", "Mayara", "The Lethargy" and "Animalia". Here are the synopses of each story in this book: "The Grotesque There Is" is actually a performance of two short stories. The first (initially called "Equine Hiring") is a mostly dialogue story about a horse in a job interview. The second tells the chronicle of the two men who stood in the rain. "A Mere Clock" is a narrative in the 1st person that tells the adventures of a mere wristwatch. At the first impact, the characters seem far from the reader, but the last paragraph ends up in a contemporary narration. "Mayara" tells the story of an egoistic girl that falls in love with a young man. Later, this man doesn't satisfy himself with her selfishness and ends up infuriating the girl, which leads to a series of tragedies and anguish, all due to the destructible retaliation. "The Lethargy" is an imaginary, almost parabolic narrative where the protagonist is a sleepy student disappointed in himself. "Animalia" is a first-person novelette of a teenage love affair between a bass player and a pretty who turns out to be a beast, making the story a real wild and raw mess. PS.: Some of these stories may present sensitive content and metaphorical representation of violence, although I do not consider any of these occurrences really timely characterised as 'mature content' since such matters are dealt with discreetly and with no compromise. Anyway, if you are uncomfortable with any approach to mature content, I suggest not reading "The Lethargy" & "Animalia". 🧡 #theseasonalcontests Book cover art: "Sogno Del Demiurgo" by Alessandro Sicioldr.

FREAK SHOW

34 parts Complete Mature

What happens when one of the last freakshows comes to your town? Not only is it a grotesque event viewed for pleasure at a circus but one that harbors secrets and hidden evils behind the curtains. Scarlett didn't know what to think when she heard about the circus coming to her town; her town was small, rarely anything visited it. She never expected to be ripped from her life and forced into their society of freaks, struggling to keep their business. She wasn't and would never be a freak, especially ones that didn't know right morals from wrong ones. ___________________________________ THIS STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC MATERIAL AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING CONTENT: READ AT YOUR OWN RISK (18+) I WROTE THIS WHEN I WAS 14.
