How do we face the events and emotions that we smother in the earth?
How do our pasts fester when we refuse to face our hurts?
How do we deal with the dead things in our lives that will not die?
Blight Red: Tales of Haunting and the Haunted is a collection of horror-magical realist short stories that drives at the red core of our deepest wounds.
These tales tear open the psychologies and pasts of their characters. They warn about what plagues us when pains are left unhealed and unexamined. They face the haunted worlds created by personal and collective traumas, and process their monochrome remains through the grotesque, the grim, and the ghostly.
From cannibalistic slashers to folkloric famines, Blight Red explores trauma, abuse, grief, and family from Irish and Ontarian perspectives.
The horror of these stories does not aim to invoke despair.
The terror gives voice to the unvoiceable.
The dread speaks to the unsayable.
And it shows us, perhaps, how we might heal.
