"Orchid" by Shane KP O'Neill is a terrific horror short that really took me by surprise. The story begins low key at a Jewish funeral where Mark bemoans the sudden death of his wife Orchid. But a mystery figure offers him to bring her back, as long as the wife is not buried; a tough decision to make for the fresh widower.The story is dark, moody and written in an almost hypnotising prose that creeps slowly under your skin and stays there is an unsettling way yet you want to know what will happen. The scene is set with attention to detail and love for the genre, much in the style of the psychological horror of the Dracula movies. This is a very scary and well written short; very impressive!
