Five creepy stories for Halloween

Oct 31, 2013 22:41

For a supposed horror-influenced series, BtVS was rarely truly horrifying. Luckily, there are fans willing to correct that. Here are five fics that have stuck in my head for years.

The Twelfth Sister/The Twelfth Sister Revisited (AO3 link thanks to rebcake) by Rowan. What if the Watchers' Council had managed to put Faith in custody and keep her? This fic ( Read more... )

snowpuppies has written a number of very dark and creepy tales, and Chosen is definitely one of the best!

I love snowpuppies! She does incredible things with words.

Thanks for the other recs as well.

I really am not a creepy story fan, but wow! that Ethan ficlet packs a punch.

For somebody who really likes the comedy, I have a surprising amount of attraction to the disturbing. Or maybe it's not that strange...

Anyway, these are among my favorites. I spent far more of my life than I like to admit searching for Rowan's "12th Sister" stories, which are short but will indeed stick with you. I was so relieved when she put them up on AO3, because I was sure they would disappear before I found them. Here's the link to them there:

So, yes. I agree. Excellent choices.

Awesome, thanks for the link! Good to see she's still around (or at least was recently).
