Body Horror

Billie Dean Shoemate III returns after 4 years with a horrific short tale about a man, devoutly religious, who may have accidently brought something terrible into the world. A being older than man. Older than Earth. Older than everything. It is a story of obsession, regret, and accepting the inevitable. Familiar tropes to horror; even to the writings of Billie Dean Shoemate III, but 'Deity' is woven in a way that would surprise even his most devout readers. This tale is a true work of cosmic horror, and a much-anticipated return from the horror master himself.

I am not one of you. At least that’s what you’ll tell yourself. You’ll say I’m a monster. A sicko. A deranged killer. But I am no monster, I am no sicko, and I am not deranged. I am simply a man who happens to enjoy murdering people in the most violent of ways. So don’t bother listening to this if you have a weak stomach, get easily offended, or are simply not interested in the best way to dispose of a dead body. (It’s pigs, by the way. They eat anything.) My name is Gerald Brittle. I am a serial killer. And this is my memoir.

The air in the hospital was thick with the scent of antiseptic and something more primal, a lingering fear that clung to the walls like the shadows of the past. For years, I had been a caretaker, a healer devoted to the well-being of others, but the echoes of trauma and the weight of my own experiences began to manifest in unsettling ways. A new beginning was not just a transition; it was a reckoning with the darkness that lurked within the depths of my mind and the very fabric of the hospital itself.
