“The Thing in the Swamp” in Doorways in the Gloom
“De store gamle. Danish, again. Most people translate it as ‘the big old ones.’ It means something a little different to the old Danish families in Selbyville.”
“The Thing in the Swamp” is my tangentially Lovecraftian dark contemporary fantasy story, featuring a protagonist who knows what her family has been getting up to over the years, but can’t exactly tell her best friend “hey, my cousins want to sacrifice you to an Elder God.” It’s got a bit of humor here and there, but there’s also darkness to the story.
This story is only available in Doorways in the Gloom!
