One of the pens behind the press
Dorian Vale
Horror · Folk tales · The thing you only half see
Dorian works in dread rather than blood. His villages keep old customs nobody will explain to an outsider, his woods are quiet in the wrong way, and whatever stands at the edge of the lamplight is never shown in full, because half seen is always worse. Best read with the hall light on.
