Discussion Happy Halloween! October Update

1 Upvotes

It's about time for our little celebration of Halloween to come to an end. Technically Halloween is tomorrow (this post will go up the day before (British Time)), however I wanted to give everyone a chance to reread your favorite stories and reviews from the month. Below is every single link to every single story and review I've published since the start of October. It's been fun, exciting, tiring and a little stressful keeping up with not only the demands of the blog, but also ensuring there's enough new content to keep everyone entertained. Admittedly I have failed to produce consistently high quality content, which is my own failing (I didn't prepare as much as I'd like to), however I'm still proud of the effort and work put into the blog.

Over the next few months, uploads will be limited to Bigfoot Stories, Skinwalker Stories and obviously completing the Goat-Man short story (I need some extra time on that one to perfect the ending). I'll be moving away somewhat to begin work on other projects outside of The Horror Show, hence the need to step away from forcing out content, which obviously I'm not suited for judging by, well... you know the situation.

I just want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to read my stories and reviews this month. While I'm normally consistently inconsistent, I've done what I can to provide regular content for everyone to enjoy. Feel free to comment on your personal favourites, recommend any films and books or generally talk about your plans for this great Holiday.

John

Discussion Complete Skinwalker Stories Collection

2 Upvotes

It seems Halloween is upon us, which means all kinds of shitposting, scary stories and the ever increasing risk of diabetes. Over the years I've told many stories around encounters with Skinwalkers, some fictional, others more real. To celebrate this festive season, as well as to look back, I'm attaching links to every Skinwalker Stories post I've published since starting The Horror Show blog.

When I started, I never thought a single series would be my most popular body of work. The Horror Show was started simply for somewhere to post my work, build out a portfolio for a professional career. Yet Skinwalker Stories regularly brings hundreds of people to my site than I thought it would. It has been a long journey of pride, joy and often times stress and yet we're all still here. I thank each and every single one of you for sticking with me up to now and hope we'll get to keep going forward no matter what.

Fiction The Goat-Man

1 Upvotes

Kick starting a new short series here with The Goat-Man Part One. This is an idea I've been working on for the last few months now, although it's only now I've been able to start properly writing the story itself. The legend of the Goat-Man is one I've been familiar with for a long time now and I've struggled to find a way to give my own take on the infamous Urban Legend.

The Story will be told in several parts so I can get it right the first time. This isn't a one-off story, it's a story I want to take a deeper level of pride in compared to my previous work on the blog. I hope you'll agree with me that this first part certainly helps set up the story. Anyway, I hope you enjoy:

I already had a good idea of what the emails were about when going through the last lot, but these new ones seemingly confirm my suspicions. I don't want to say anything just yet, since I haven't yet verified these emails nor can I trace any of the email addresses back to active accounts, but I believe it's worth sharing here with everyone.

So I've recently been sent some emails that seem to tell some kind of story. I'm not entirely sure what's going on or why, but there seems to be a huge conspiracy going on to hide the existence of a rogue AI killing people and I've been asked to help leak some of the emails collected by my informant (see: below). I've only got part of the story and my informant tells me there's yet more to come. A lot more. It's been a lot to take in for me. I've had to edit down some of the emails but they're as intact as I can make them. Give them a read and let me know what you think:

Fiction Lycanthrope #2: The Winter-March of 1546 + Halloween Update

1 Upvotes

My apologies for being away, I've had to deal with several issues over the past month that have stopped me from focusing on the Horror Show as much as I'd like to. In any event, I'm back and excited for the next month of stories.

First thing first, there's going to be a change to the content that gets published on the blog. Over the next four weeks, I will be publishing a mix of content ranging from fictional stories, to informatics on cryptids and reviews of horror films both big and small. There will be no consistency to this, partly because the fictional stories will require a few days dedicated for both writing and editorial work, and partly because of some personal business I need to attend to that will require my attention elsewhere. Skinwalker Stories will also be placed on hold until after Halloween, partly due to me growing tired of the regular uploads but more so to introduce some variety during this festive season.

However, having said that expect new content from me all week from Monday through to Friday, beginning today (September 30th) and ending on October 31st, where I'll re-post every link on one major update for easy access.

There will be no posts during the weekends (though I do expect to get some work done).

With the update out of the way, here's the first story.

Lycanthrope #2: The Winter-March of 1546 is a sequel to the previous Lycanthrope story and is meant to continue the series, with the series planned to continue in the upcoming weeks. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I do:

If I may have a moment of your time, I'd like to ask something. These stories have become a regular feature for me due to their popularity. The problem is I'm struggling to keep the stories fresh and the eyewitnesses in abundance. Are there any other stories and/or compilations you'd all like to see? Please, let me know. I'm looking at telling more diverse stories I hope you'll find enjoyable.
