Contortionist Fever
When the adults ignore the strange events happening at her school, Daphne Suzuki attempts to investigate what’s causing her classmates to have horrific body contortions. As more of these incidents happen, Daphne must work faster if she wants to find the cause before she becomes cursed herself.
Age Range:
Young Adult (approx ages 13+)Genre:
Horror/ScaryPage Count Estimate:
around 150 to 200 pages
My Why:
Feeling inspired by the works of Junji Ito, Yuko Tatsushima, and Goosebumps, I wanted to experiment with creating my own short horror stories. I also wanted to use horror to explore the complex feelings teens have growing up, and how the reader shouldn’t feel ashamed for having troubled thoughts so long as they get help and learn to love themselves.
