Why this must be read:
Author's Summary: After a successful battle, the Gundam boys are allowed some downtime in an abandoned country house. Upon arrival, all five could tell that something was wrong with the house. Just what was it? Based off of a childhood experience of mine.
Now this is everything I look for in a horror story: eerie atmosphere, unsettling changes to our characters, "walking on your grave" shivers, and just an overall spooky-ness that leaves me with my light on and looking through all nearby heating grills. I usually try to stay away from reccing two stories from the same author in a rec cycle, but this story is just so unique in GW fandom that I have to share it too.
Karen freaks me out every time by what she doesn't show or describe; a lot is left to the imagination of the reader and that is a very powerful thing indeed. This is also based on a real life event for the author so knowing that makes it doubly more spooky as it really happened in some form. Each pilot re-acts to the events that unfold in front of them in this seemingly peaceful "safehouse" in different ways, from becoming physically ill to losing touch with reality. Each reaction is freaky as heck and so true to character for our pilots. Everything adds up to the best horror story I've read in GW fandom and one of the spookiest in any fandom.
