Let-Down: Body Horror Through a Child's Perspective

Body horror stories rarely get more disturbing than “LET DOWN” by Morgan Moore, a narrated horror story told through the innocent perspective of a six-year-old girl who cannot speak and is trying to care for her hungry baby brother.

Her family is collapsing under sickness, poverty, neglect, and her father’s gambling addiction. When the food and baby formula run out, she remembers one simple fact: mothers make milk. Armed with a child’s incomplete understanding and a pair of kitchen scissors, she tries to solve the problem herself.
This gruesome horror short story blends psychological horror, graphic body horror, domestic dread, and childlike innocence into a shocking nightmare.
