This is maybe made up, but I saw a horror short story mentioned in an exchange on Twitter, and I was wondering if anyone knows what it is: https://twitter.com/hmnprsn/status/1030881245083750400 and https://twitter.com/hmnprsn/status/1030895682087923712 from a printed collection of short stories, probably pre-2014.

Runcible Cat posted:Anyone remember the name of that terrible novel about a MANLY MARINE who goes back to college and ends up teaching all the ~snowflakes~ to defend themselves against ~TERRORIST ATTACK~? Ostensibly written by some old pulp writer but actually written by his psycho chud daughter? Trigger Warning?

Aesop Poprock posted:I’m having trouble finding a short story that I think I originally found linked on the forums somewhere. It’s about a person walking down the street of a city and suddenly being in like a facade of a city, where no doors are openable and they can see shadows of people in the windows but they never communicate or leave the buildings. The main character spends years in this place and encounters other people like his/herself who also got lost in it but their encounters are vague and mostly just wondering about the place they’re in and how they got there or how to get out. It’s not really scary, just kind of unsettling. The main character eventually rounds a corner and comes back to the real world and mentions how there’s always roads or alleys you can go down that might lead you to the strange purgatory place at random. I can’t seem to string together the correct words to find it on google That's not The Backrooms, is it?

threedaycrash posted:I have been trying to track down a short story/novella that I read a few years ago to no avail. The story centered around a crazy drive in theater that started out as nothing too special but ended up having multiple screens and playing all sorts of movies. It attracted all sorts of bikers and weirdos and sounded like a punk's dream. The local holy rollers decide to mount a campaign against it and managed to not only shut it down but have it demolished with the intent to build a nice new church on the site. I want to say the drive was named The Zone or something like that but in a last move of defiance it swallows up the townspeople that worked so hard to destroy it. The whole thing had a very 80's vibe to it and I know it doesn't sound like a horror story but it really ramped up at the end. I've tried googling The Zone, drive-in theater, and even threw in the detail of the chili the owner is famous for since it gets mentioned frequently in the story but have had no luck. Help? EDIT: wrong forum sorry
