\chapter{Foreword}
|
||||
Horror is a genre that has entranced the public for ages. Most of us
|
||||
have fond memories of huddling around a copy of {\em Scary Stories to
|
||||
Tell in the Dark}, pretending we weren't scared, daring each other to
|
||||
look at certain pictures. We've stayed up late watching horror movies,
|
||||
fearing every creak was something coming to get us. The peak enjoyment
|
||||
of horror usually falls around the preteen years, when scary movies are
|
||||
still scary and parents are more lenient with reading choices. During a
|
||||
time when most are just starting to get into horror, one man started
|
||||
writing horror.
|
||||
|
||||
That man is Ben Biddick. Ben started writing horror when he was twelve,
|
||||
and was first published when he was thirteen. His compilation, Horrors,
|
||||
had a very limited print run. Due to this, very few people found out
|
||||
about it. It remained off of bestseller lists. It received no critical
|
||||
acclaim. As it turns out, Horrors was simply eighteen years ahead of its
|
||||
time.
|
||||
|
||||
Now, thanks to the internet, Ben's masterwork has received a second
|
||||
wind. In fact, many people were inspired by Ben's work. This
|
||||
compilation is the result of that inspiration. With Ben's permission,
|
||||
we’ve included a few of his most terrifying tales. What follows are a
|
||||
series of stories that aim to establish the same unique brand of horror
|
||||
as the master of terror himself. These stories emulate, derive, or pay
|
||||
homage to the classic Biddickian stories from Horrors. Many use Ben's
|
||||
beloved tragic hero, Luke Bavarious. Many touch upon Ben's belief that
|
||||
children are worthy of attention and respect. All attempt to convey a
|
||||
sense of horror that only a thirteen year old can craft.
|
||||
|
||||
Hopefully these stories are something you'll tell around campfires for
|
||||
generations to come. Hopefully they're something that will haunt
|
||||
you. Hopefully they're something awful---something so awful they'll
|
||||
inspire you to take up the torch of Biddickian horror as well.
