The Horror Society Presents: Forgotten Places

John H Howard presents a collection of supernatural tales in Forgotten Places, drawing on gothic and horror traditions to explore the lingering presence of forgotten locations. The author structures the anthology around specific sites that have been abandoned or erased from memory, allowing the darkness of these places to drive the narrative rather than relying on generic scares. Readers encounter a trio of teenagers who learn that residential spaces can harbor malevolent spirits just as effectively as other settings. The collection also examines a buried Civil War era prison where dark cells contain entities far more dangerous than historical artifacts for those seeking them. Howard further investigates a southwestern cave that holds the resting place of a pharaoh entombed far from home, challenging geographical assumptions about ancient burial grounds. A fire tower offering views beyond belief and platform levels which never seem to end provides another setting for psychological dread. The anthology concludes with abandoned train tracks leading a family to a century-old murder scene, tying personal trauma to physical location. This work suits readers who appreciate atmospheric horror rooted in specific historical or geographical contexts. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or contemporary urban legends, as the focus remains strictly on the eerie potential of forgotten spaces and the secrets they keep.
