A lyrical fever-dream of memory, monsters, and the ghosts of family-HORSE is a dark, strange, and poetic journey through the English countryside, where nothing is quite as it seems. When a jaded man returns to his childhood home in rural England, he finds himself haunted not only by the past but by something monstrous lurking at the edges of his memory. A meteor streaks the sky. Old wounds reopen. Strange figures move in the hedgerows. In this evocative tale of loss and revelation, reality begins to slip-and what begins as a visit to aging parents descends into something far more terrifying. Blending elements of folk horror, cosmic dread, and psychological fiction, HORSE is a surreal novella that explores the fragile threads of family, trauma, and personal transformation. Told through feverish flashbacks, biting internal monologue, and dreamlike encounters, it asks one question: can you ever really go home again? Who it's for: Readers of dark literary fiction, horror fans, and those who enjoy character-driven stories with philosophical undercurrents and visceral imagery.
