Description
Grimshader, a small town in the lochlands of Scotland, becomes a site of horror as a supernatural presence begins to overtake St. Mary's, a cathedral built on the outskirts of town. St. Mary's is doomed from the start, an unwanted presence that's sinking further into the boglands by the year. While St. Mary's body is being swallowed by the earth, two young nuns, a doctor, and his roommate do their very best in attempt to save its soul- but does the heart of St. Mary's Cathedral truly deserve saving? Something dark lurks in the bowels, and it has awoken. This story is a work in progress, and may be subject to rewrites. Trigger Warnings: This work contains scenes of graphic violence and sexuality, infidelity, sexual shaming, homophobia/transphobia, racism, abortion and other medical procedures, eating disorders/forced feeding, pregnancy/miscarriage, and religious trauma. This work contains mentions of child sexual abuse, incest. You will not find any depictions of violence (sexual or otherwise) towards minors, though these events will be discussed outside of that event between characters and vaguely referenced. If you are reading this story and encounter a trigger you consider common that has not been listed, I absolutely urge you to contact me. I want people who read my work to know exactly what triggers they will encounter if possible. That said, this is a work of horror. It is NOT safe to read for those who are easily disturbed, and is NOT written in a way that avoids common triggers. If you have a trigger you consider common, read at your own risk. Always be safe, and reach out to a crisis hotline if you find yourself needing help.
