In the Woods

By DR Gordon

This is a mini collection of three stories from D R Gordon's debut horror collection "From Darkness".

Deep in the backwoods a pair of hunters become the hunted.

A group of revellers head to the ultimate club, but, what is the door charge?

D R Gordon’s Debut horror collection “From Darkness” is filled with monsters. Monsters of the flesh and the mind. This is a choice sampling of the full collection. You will find ghosts, demons, and gods of old within these pages; a myriad of fiends born from Darkness. In the tradition of the grandfathers of short horror fiction Poe, Lovecraft, Blackwood and Le Fanu D R provides snapshots of the human mind at its most fiendish, its most terrified, its darkest.

Beware those who enter the world of D R Gordon, you will not come out the same.

DR Gordon

I am a nomad who’s wandered the globe for many a year now. My passport says I’m Australian and I think of Newcastle and Melbourne, Australia, as equal homes. I’ recently relocated to Germany seeking the Berlin artist’s scene.I enjoy snowboarding, hiking, exploring new places, and of course, reading and writing. I’ve been writing since the third grade and haven’t stopped since. Personally I read a lot of Poe, Lovecraft, Blackwood and Le Fanu. It doesn’t take a scholar to see their influences throughout my work.I completed my Bachelor of Arts as an English Literature major, Philosophy minor, at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch New Zealand. I also started a Masters of Creative writing in Melbourne, but put it aside after gaining a diploma because, funnily enough, it was taking up too much of my writing time.

About D R Gordon

In the Woods

Where are they? The man's styled moustache twitched as we spoke. He took the rifle from Keiran.

Where's what?

The Bananas?

You didn't ask for fruit. What do ya want bananas for?

I told you to bring bait. What do you think they eat, bloody jelly beans?

I've got a bag of shrimp here, said Keiran defensively.

"Shrimp? What sort of self-respecting Coon eats shrimp?

I didn't know it was for the Coons. You said we were going out by the river. I thought we might be going for a fish after. I'm no hunter, you know too much time out here gives me the willies.

Do you see any rods in the truck? I invited you out coon hunting. Shrimp, Graeme scoffed. He brushed a hand across his forehead in frustration, shook his head resignedly, and looked up to Keiran. Righto, shrimp it is. Get it out then, something might be into it.

Keiran ruffled through his backpack to produce a soppy package of half defrosted shrimp.

Graeme snatched the package off him, ripped it open, and proceeded to throw it out from the platform.
