The Beauty

English

By (author): Aliya Whiteley

Nominated for the Shirley Jackson and Saboteur awards, this game-changing story was chosen by Adam Nevill as one of his favourite horror short stories: What a refreshing gust of tiny spores this novella explodes into, and I inhaled them all with glee.


Somewhere away from the cities and towns, in the Valley of the Rocks, a society of men and boys gather around the fire each night to listen to their history recounted by Nate, the storyteller. Requested most often by the group is the tale of the death of all women. 

They are the last generation. 

One evening, Nate brings back new secrets from the woods; peculiar mushrooms are growing from the ground where the womens bodies lie buried. These are the first signs of a strange and insidious presence unlike anything ever known before
