Description
ELKEN
by Jay Alexander
Called out to the unexplored Sorrow Helm forests in the early 1970s, elderly cartographer Wilbur Roman soon finds that the woods are near-impossible to map; and that he's very, very far from alone out here.
Trails of bones and antlers, mysterious robed figures, and strangely-behaving creatures all lead him to the same devastating conclusion: there's something terrible out here, and it wants him...
In ELKEN, the folk horror world of Jay Alexander's STARVING GROUNDS (coming June 2022) is explored for the first time with horrifying consequences.
Early reviews for ELKEN:
"Vivid, visceral and pretty damn disturbing, Alexander's slick and expertly structured horror short showcases... evocative prose, a pitch-perfect beat, beautiful descriptions... all against a brooding plot that unravels one horrifying layer at a time."
Jack Harding, author of Ripper Country
"A blistering and gruesome folk horror story... ELKEN is paced well and keeps you on edge from the first page... I've read a few stories by Alexander before, but this is hands down the best that I've read from him."
Michael R. Goodwin, author of How Good It Feels To Burn and Smolder
"An excellent read for those who want a quick mythos scare. The characters are well shaped, the scenery is eerie, and the monsters are... well, grotesque."
Mona Kabbani, author of The Bell Chime and Vanilla
