Corpse Rider
A young woman’s kindness binds her to a grave entity in this gothic horror tale.
Christina begins as an isolated figure whose connections consistently fail. Her solitude ends not through romance, but through contact with the dead. By removing weeds from a derelict grave, she invites a presence that refuses to let her be alone again. The entity claims her for specific roles, forcing her into a twisted version of family life. This plot highlights the violation of personal boundaries and the horror of being claimed by something unnatural. Curran uses this premise to question the nature of love and duty when one party is not human. The story does not offer escape or redemption, but rather a deepening entanglement with the macabre.
Published by Macabre Ink in 2023, this work fits within the contemporary American horror market. It engages with long-standing traditions of gothic fiction and supernatural dread, appealing to readers who enjoy modern interpretations of classic monster myths.
