The Twisted Dark: A DudleyTown Horror
Cursed ForestClaustrophobiaDemonGhost HuntingMulti Pov
DudleyTown Connecticut is a real place.
DudleyTown Connecticut is illegal to visit.
Police say that’s because it’s private property, but locals know it’s because the land is cursed.
When Bailey adventures with her friend Marek into the forest for a paranormal investigation, her boyfriend Simon begrudgingly comes along. Sharing hobbies is what partners do, right? Plus, it’s all stories, so someone has to be there to keep the group grounded.
Except as night falls, those stories become startlingly real. Whispers in the fog, dark shapes between the trees, and soon reality feels like it’s moving further and further away. Is the abandoned mine the perfect refuge, or a shadowy trap?
Can they make it out alive, or will they fall victim to the horrors of DudleyTown?
Centuries of stories have been told about DudleyTown, and now you are in the middle of them. Step into this twisted dark at your own risk and decide for yourself what is fact and what is fiction.
