[Thoughtful Horror 01] • After Dark

When another body is discovered - a young woman washed up by the tide - it seems that someone stalks the streets of the nearby town of Whitby, after dark. Someone who preys on young women, and kills them in a very singular manner. And as crowds of Goths arrive to celebrate an annual festival, the scene is set for a gothic tale with a contemporary twist.

After Dark is a horror story set in modern day Whitby, the town where, according to Stoker, a certain Count came ashore.

In recent years, Whitby has held an annual Goth festival, and this surreal event sets the stage for a deliciously dark tale.

Please note that this is a short story of approx. 10,000 words.
