Continuing this small series of lockdown readings, gathering some of our favourite horror/weird tales, is this wee beastie from Knifepoint Horror, written by Soren Narnia. There will probably be one more story before returning to the writing dungeon, where Season 2 is slowly bubbling in cauldrons and plague pits. If you have any particular requests, please tag us with them on social media (or whisper them to a dead wasp). Stay weird, stay home. Ax    Â
