The Gravedigger's Tale
The Gravedigger's Tale is a collation of nine short stories all with horror themes - several have been adapted from old posts of mine on the realistic-style subreddit, /r/NoSleep; several have been adapted from old TweetFics of mine; a few others are just scattered horror stories from my archives.
Letters from the Dead: 17k, rated M, first person POV. A few years removed - and thus safe - from his old posting, a gravedigger finally tells the tale of his haunting. Written in the style of a diarised blog post, originally posted on /r/NoSleep. CW for homophobia, grief, potential mental illness.
