POV- you learned which version of you was the safe

In Blackmore everyone has a role they have to play.

Whether a messenger.

guardian.

Or someone to fall into the local folklore.

All can come true in Blackmore.

The Ghost of Blackmore - Kindle unlimited (Till April 6)

Hollow wing of Blackmore - WIP ( Fall season release)

3/19 Edited to

Living in a world like Blackmore, where everyone has a designated role, really makes you think about identity and survival. Personally, I’ve found that embracing the version of yourself that feels safest—whether it's the protector, the storyteller, or the silent observer—can be quite empowering. Blackmore’s setting, rich with mystery and folklore, offers a perfect backdrop for exploring these roles, and it challenges you to reflect on how your choices might affect your sense of security. I remember reading 'The Ghost of Blackmore' on Kindle Unlimited and feeling fully immersed in how the community shaped these roles, each with its own risks and rewards. The idea that someone could turn into local folklore fascinated me; it made me think about how stories preserve identities beyond the physical self. It’s also intriguing that the author is releasing 'Hollow Wing of Blackmore' in the fall—I'm excited to see how the narrative expands and what new facets of identity and safety it reveals. For anyone drawn to horror and POV storytelling, these micro horror stories capture the essence of survival in a small community fraught with unseen dangers. The ambiguity of which 'version' of you is the safest stirs a deep psychological tension, making readers question their own identity and what they consider protection in an uncertain environment. Overall, Blackmore isn’t just a place—it’s an exploration of self through the prism of horror and local myth, inviting readers to find and learn from the safest version of themselves.
