About this audiobook

When abominations begin roaming the village streets at night, the slaughterhouse workers grow suspicious of the fairy who works there.

"Origin Story" by T. Kingfisher is one of 18 short horror stories in Nightfire's audio anthology. Come Join Us by the Fire Season 2 is the second installment of Nightfire's audio horror anthology, featuring a wide collection of short stories from emerging voices in the horror genre as well as longtime fan favorites. The collection showcases the breadth of talent writing in the horror genre today, with contributions from a wide range of genre luminaries like Seanan McGuire, T. Kingfisher, and Caitlín R. Kiernan; it includes stories from Nightfire’s own Cassandra Khaw (Nothing But Blackened Teeth) and Silvia Moreno-Garcia (Certain Dark Things); and from rising stars like Nibedita Sen, Matthew Lyons, and Jessica Guess. Plus, it has Nick Antosca’s “The Quiet Boy,” soon to be a major motion picture, Antlers, starring Keri Russell.

Thank you for sharing this story with us! T Kingfisher (Ursula Vernon's name for 'grown ups', whatever they are) has the ability to weave stories with delight, horror, wonder, and just a little kindness in a world that needs it.
