The horrors of forsaken land.
The horrors of forsaken land. When I was in elementary school, my Dad was attending West Point, and we lived in a rural military neighborhood, occupying an old, two-story Victorian-style house. It was atop a hill, next to a large wooded expanse. I’d explore those woods as a kid, endlessly fascinated by the giant, exploding mushrooms, the large hanging clusters of woody vines, and the sprawl of thick groves of trees broken up by placid, grassy meadows. Something always seemed fascinating, yet it resonated with an evil presence.
I tried to capture that feel, mixed with a Lovecraftian flair, in my short story The Beauty of Ignorance, collected in my book Down Highways in the Dark…by Demons Driven, available here on Amazon.
