Synopsis

The Walls Were Built to Keep the Madness In. But They Can’t Keep the Hunger Out.

Ed knows the price of a conscience. A decorated ex-soldier, his "reward" for a noble act of whistle-blowing wasn't a medal, but a one-way ticket to a jagged Appalachian peak. Buried alive by the government in a crumbling mountain sanatorium, he is surrounded by a symphony of madness, his only company a cellmate whose silent, predatory presence suggests he is merely a fuse waiting for a spark.

In the visceral world of Appalachian horror, some secrets are better left buried, but Ed's cage has become a front-row seat to a nightmare he never saw coming. He spends his days listening to the frantic whispers of the broken souls outside his cell door, wondering if the madness is contagious - or if it's the only logical response to what is lurking in the trees.

He thought isolation was his biggest enemy. He was wrong.

When the facility's transport tyres are found slashed, the thin veneer of order vanishes. Trapped in the rugged peaks, the guards soon discover they aren't the only ones on the mountain. As far as scary short stories go, the true terror begins when the lights fail and the screaming starts. From the dark recesses of the ridges, a clan of cannibalistic mountain men has descended, seeing the asylum not as a prison, but as a larder.

As the massacre begins, the sanatorium transforms from a place of healing into a blood-soaked battleground. In a world turned upside down, Ed must trade his prisoner’s rags for his soldier’s instincts. To survive the night, he must break free from the madness within, only to face a hunger that has been waiting for him in the shadows of the Appalachian woods. If you are looking for horror short stories that blend government conspiracy with raw, primitive survival, Dread: The Mountain Asylum will leave you breathless.

This isn't a sentence. It's a hunt.

Présentation de l'éditeur

An infamous Sanatorium with a bad reputation hidden in the Appalachian mountains. A man who's wrongfully found himself there by the actions of his past. As he begins to witness strange events he cannot explain, he soon realises that the true horrors lie not inside his prison walls; but outside in the woods of the mountain. As time starts running out and danger starts to close in, he will have to fight for his freedom and, ultimately, his survival.
