The Gatherings: An Apocalyptic Short Story by Jeremy Ray

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

4.0

This creepy and unique post-apocalyptic horror read follows a young writer, Emily, who attends one of the many events being held worldwide called the gatherings to promote global peace. However, what originally seemed like peaceful events that were created to bring people together soon turn into something dark and deadly. This short story is one that really makes you question everything around you and look at seemingly innocent things in a whole new light. Jeremy Ray has once again written a spine tingling horror that makes it impossible not to devour it in one sitting. I love the dark humour and sarcasm he brings into his books to keep things slightly light and ominous before opening the flood gates of his horror writing style and freaks you out. If you like the old film A Little Shop of Horrors and are into post-apocalyptic reads then I definitely recommend this. I just really hope we hear more to this story because the ending really left me hooked 🙈
