Harbingers: Short Stories Inspired by the Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Harbingers is an anthology of short stories loosely based on the four horsemen of the Apocalypse. Alanah Andrews, E.L. Giles, Marcus Turner and Natalie Rix have teamed up to encapsulate the foreboding characters of the fabled horsemen. Set in different times and locations, spanning centuries and countries, the authors have drawn on the mythology of each horseman in both a traditional and experimental manner. Following a sense of impending doom, Harbingers foretells the end times and warns of the apocalypse in very different, ominous settings

A FEAST FOR THE LOW, by Marcus Turner

To some, he is a delusional ascetic. To the ones who love him, he is a sick little boy named Timmy. But they’re all wrong. He is the Horseman Famine: consequence of the third broken seal, rider of the black horse, harbinger of the coming apocalypse. Many are called but few are chosen – but when the sky sets afire and the world is suddenly gripped in terrible violence and death, his children – born anew with a dark sacrifice – will remake the world: the Low will inherit the ruins of the broken world, and they will feast… Oh yes, they will feast.
