Morbid Tales #6

The vast ruins of Summer Hall, as it was once known, remains oddly intact, save for its collapsed staircase and peeling wallpaper. Even its indoor swimming pool has survived, now a sculptural bog of mud and roof tiles, vines growing thick along the walls. It is a manor that stands like a silent grave, a riddle of rotten wood and forgotten memories, destined to remain this way forever. But it wasn’t always this way.

In late Autumn of 1959, Eliza Gibson, a sixteen-year-old student with mousey hair and a face full of freckles faces a burgeoning love, and a terrible fate.

THE RUINS by Zachery Miller is nothing like the previous Morbid Tales. I was really excited when the author released a new installment, since it has been three years since the last one. Unfortunately, it seems Miller's writing style has changed drastically. This story seems rather dull, and the school's history remains vague.

Instead, I recommend THE PICKING TREE, a thrilling mix of horror, fantasy and folklore by Miller.

As always,
