The Hanging Game by Helen Marshall
4.0
“There was a game we used to play when we were kids-the hanging game we called it.”
THIS WAS SURPRISINGLY GOOD!! Okay so we’re following Skye’s pov where she shares how in their town called Hangjaw’s country, they play this so called sacred game or the hanging game, where someone’s being hanged and another acting as a priest.
And ofc a game has to have its rules!
#1 A stolen highrigging rope must be used
#2 You have to do it in an ash tree
#3 Participation mustn’t be forced and must be done willingly
CRAZY RIGHT. I mean who in their right minds would consent to being almost choked to death (Apparently the characters in the story lol). BUT CERTAINLY, THERE’S SOMETHING THEY’LL GAIN HERE RIGHT.
These free tor horror super short stories are keeping me out of a reading slump. Please give it a try! This was a quick and an engaging read!
