Horrifying October: A Retrospective (Link Collection) by Himring

In 2016, the Library of Moria community on LiveJournal ran a Horrifying October challenge, with 31 prompts, one for each day of the month.

The challenge asked for both new works and recs. 

The link collection offers a selection from the submissions back in 2016.

Besides being selective, this is also a WIP.

However, you can find links to all the round-ups on LiveJournal (and so indirectly to all submissions) in the Collection Notes.

For more background on the Library of Moria and its community see the current Cultus Dispatches post: A Tribute to the Library of Moria

Everything In Order by Grundy

I've said many times that nearly everything I write is in the same continuity. So here's an attempt at collecting it all in order. (Still a work in progress at this point...trying out link collections to see if this is the way to go, or if it would make more sense to just start a new story and plunk it all there.)
