E.A. WilcoxPublished 13 days ago in Horror5 Great Folk Horror Short Stories
*Inhales deeply*: My favourite genre is folk horror Hopefully, we are ready for yet another folk horror list which involves a top five of some of my favourite things about the genre. More than often, I choose folk horror short stories to teach when looking at explicit and implicit meaning because there is always a deeper meaning hidden there somewhere. If you haven't read any folk horror short stories before then this might push you over the edge and into the black hole of this genre. If you have read some before then hopefully we can be friends given the fact we both like the same literature. I'll be back soon for more folk horror, but for now let's enjoy the five short stories that I have included on this list. If I have missed out a favourite of yours then I apologise.

Kenny PennPublished 18 days ago in HorrorMonster
When I think of the word “monster” I think of my daughter. It was an involuntary reflex, an automatic thought as my academic husband would have called it, the association between “daughter” and “monster” carved into the recesses of my brain, my neurons easily connecting the two concepts together.

I am standing in front of the picture window, the one in our living room that faces the front yard, looking out at a sea of snow. It is winter; the snow has every right to be here.
