Behind the Macabre
Coming to you from the twisted back roads of Midwest Missouri, The Horror Persists is determined to frequent your darkest dreams and haunt the narrative. Our goal is to unleash the worryingly weird, the incredibly macabre, and extremely unsettling on the literary world. You can try to ignore the unexplained, avoid the peculiar, and hide from the odd; but the Horror always Persists.

"You can feel the rot, the desperation, and the adrenaline through every page. Truly, stories that refuse to let go."
