Halloween From the Archives: Subway
In the spring
of 2015 I created a set of Halloween themed pieces as submissions to a
fiction print anthology focusing on Halloween. The
anthology was set for a juvenile reading level. I toned down my usual
gore and darkness and tried to shift my imagery a little towards the
lighter side. You will see as the pieces progress that the darkness
began creeping through regardless. Although my submissions
were rejected, I ended up with six lovely pieces that I will be sharing
between now and All Hallow's Eve. I hope you enjoy them.
I haven't done a lot of work focused on fear in a city setting. For this piece I chose a subway late at night. I also wanted to highlight that moment of horror where the protagonist narrowly escapes whomever or whatever is chasing them with only a thin barrier of protection keeping their pursuer at bay.
