“Beyond The Fog” by LL Soares

Posted by The Dome | 3 | September 10th, 2012 | Posted in Fiction Friday


Due to technical difficulties, last week’s Fiction Friday has become this week’s Fiction Monday. Enjoy!

L.L. Soares is a man with a mission: to bring reality to horror fiction. A prolific writer within the genre, his work has been published in many anthologies and websites for the past 12 years. He co-wrote In Sickness: Stories from a Very Dark Place with his wife, Laura Cooney. His newest novel, Life Rage is being published this month and he will be joining us on the podcast to talk about it.

In this short story submission we follow some men out for a night to celebrate the finality of a long and messy divorce. We learn about the secrets of a long abandoned public airstrip. We learn about the horror of unknown singing. We learn what lies Beyond The Fog:

When I finally figured out where the singing was coming from, we were at the top of the hill, looking down at the abandoned airplane hangar.  The hangar had been there for as long as I could remember, but I didn’t know anyone who could remember when it was actually in use.

Maybe back when planes were a brand new thing and you had to turn the propellers with your hands to get the engines started.  Like in the old movies.  Maybe that’s when this place was in use.

Now, it was just deserted property.  Why hadn’t they torn it down and replaced it with something useful?  I’d always thought it was the perfect spot for a baseball diamond. Read More »
