Indiana Horror Review 2021

What is it with the Hoosier state that inspires authors from all over the world to dredge up their darkest visions to make readers tremble and shudder? Could it be the ghost towns that dot the landscape? Or do we fear the living ghosts that walk its cities, large and small, that breed and fester on dashed hope and creeping dread? Or do their dark writings mirror the thoughts we thought we had buried deep beneath layers of civility, exposing them for what they are, reflections of the darkness all around us, propagated through us and our offspring, who emulate and improve on our own wickedness? Follow us into the horror of our tenth edition.

Welcome to Indiana, welcome to the Hoosier state, welcome to the dreams and nightmares of the authors collected in these pages. Pray their dreams and nightmares are just that...

Serial Killers Quincunx

They dwell among us, people like me and you, yet different, devoid of the morals that stay our hands in everyday situations we experience as stressful, hurtful or demoralizing. Not these folks. They remember, and they exact their revenge, or fulfill their fantasies, their desires, their needs, or any unfathomable emotion or curiosity that drives them to commit unspeakable acts that horrify us yet intrigue us through a morbid fascination that wishes to explore, to know what drives a killer, to explore the inner serial killer within us, for inspiration. Tread carefully, for to truly know the mind of a killer may become your personal calling.
