Rotting Foundations: Horror Story Collection
A horror anthology introducing the sentient, spreading dread of the PendleFall valley.
This volume establishes the lore of a valley that chooses who lives and who dies. Threnody uses the setting to explore themes of hidden civilizations and ancient monsters. The stories are linked by the geography itself, which acts as a character. Remote cabins in the area hide the true nature of the land. The narrative suggests that the past is rising to the surface. This process brings forth entities that threaten to spread across the wider world. The collection functions as Book 1 of the PendleFall series. It sets the stage for future installments by revealing the valley's core truth. The tone is ominous and focused on environmental horror.
Published independently in October 2025, this work fits into the contemporary American horror market. It draws on gothic fiction traditions where landscapes hold memory and malice. The PendleFall series emerges as a new entry in supernatural storytelling, focusing on regional dread rather than individual hauntings.
