I'm not specifically a horror writer, but I try to spook my readers every once in a while. One of my scariest locations is a setting in my scifi novel series, Strand. The place is called "The Gray" and it's a temporal dimension layered on top of our own. It's a planet made of colorless, clammy corpses that are all bound together in a giant knot. It floats in a place of infinite blackness and the bodies sway silently around, as if on the wind, though there is none. People who venture there in dreams or unconsciousness never remember it, when they wake up. The bodies are actually the souls of everyone who has died in the series, trapped together, unable to rest, while the Gray grows with each death.
Alright. Your turn. Scare me! Go!
Happy writing all,
Justin
