The Hunted

A spooktacular story by people we support
in Horizons’ Mallow Community Hub

What started out as a simple group exercise, transpired into a story of creativity, collaboration and let’s face it, horror!

A few months ago, people who attend Horizons’ Mallow Community Hub collaborated with their support worker, Finbarr Murray, to develop characters for a horror story. Each person considered their character’s personality, name, age, and whether they were good or bad people.

The result…The Hunted!

The story starts with the innkeeper of the Clifftop Castle Hotel who opens an attic door and is soon swallowed up by the darkness of the hotel.  Years later, stranded traveller Jack Richards arrives seeking shelter and becomes the hotel’s only hope against what lurks inside…

Huge congratulations to all the authors for producing a gripping tale, and your support worker Finbarr Murray.
