The Crossing

When first coming across blogs about 7 years ago, I had the idea of doing a short horror story anthology held together by a main narrative character in the "crypt keeper" tradition.

The idea being that in order to continue to pass by, the traveler who stumbled upon the crossing had to tell the man in the cage a story in order to pass.

This was inspired by very real European folklore where criminals were often left to starve in cages at crossroads, in order that they would not be able to find their way home....
As we are not far from all Hallows eve, I thought I might unearth this corpse of an idea.

So come traveler, feed my wits and regale me with your own tale of terror.
