King of Terror
An angel’s internal struggle before becoming the King of Terror.
Dickinson writes from the perspective of Michael, an angel tasked with executing a terrible divine plan. The story centers on his reluctance to destroy humanity and the world he was meant to guide. He questions how the creator can demand such undoing of his own work. This doubt fuels the narrative as he prepares for the night when celestial and terrestrial realms collide. The text does not shy away from the grim reality of his new role. It portrays the transition from guiding light to reigning fear through internal monologue rather than external action. The focus remains tightly on his psychological state and his acceptance of a dark destiny.
This 2020 independent publication engages with Christian angelology and apocalyptic literature. It reimagines the figure of Michael within a horror context, blending theological concepts with supernatural fiction traditions to explore the origins of terror.
