The Fellowship Of The Crooked

By Drew Beck

Josh has never belonged in the valley.
Not among the villagers who move in quiet unison.
Not in the house where the fog presses against the windows like a living thing.
Not even beside the woman he loves, who grew up trusting a place he has only ever feared.

When strange leaflets begin appearing on doorsteps and whispers drift through the mist at night, Josh realises the valley is changing - or waking. A charismatic stranger, Gideon Price, arrives to lead the Open Door Fellowship, and the villagers welcome him with unnerving devotion. Doors are left open. Chalk symbols spread across the streets. And everywhere Josh goes, people insist he has been "chosen."

As the Fellowship gathers, Josh is drawn into a ritual older than memory, a tradition the valley has guarded for generations. His dreams twist into warnings. The fog listens. And the presence he has feared since childhood begins to take shape.

When the boundary between the living and the Between finally breaks, Josh must face the truth: the valley does not want his obedience.
It wants his inheritance.

And once the Crooked One marks you, there is no turning back.

Atmospheric, haunting, and steeped in rural folklore, The Fellowship of the Crooked is a slow-burn descent into ritual horror - where grief bends reality, tradition becomes terror, and the past refuses to stay buried.
