Where the Watermelons Grow: A horror story about oppression, genocide, and revenge Kindle Edition

by Dave Musson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.8 out of 5 stars 8 ratings

Despite the bullet in my head, my slashed throat, and my smashed right ankle, I slowly stood up.

I felt my grin split outwards into the widest smile I’d ever flashed. I felt my dead skin stretching, cracking, and ripping as I continued to push it outwards. I showed my killers every single one of my teeth and when they stumbled into each other and fell, I began to laugh. My sliced vocal cords made no noise, but still I laughed. And they heard it, I’m sure of that. The mounting dread in their eyes told me as much.

I tasted their fear for a moment, savoured it, then took another step forward.
----
Where the Watermelons Grow is a short horror story about oppression, genocide, and revenge. Set in a small village in a country where settlers have, for decades, done what they can to decimate the indigenous population, one terrible act sparks a new wave of violence more devastating than anything that has happened before. As the invading forces draw closer, this small village has to fight to survive.

***All proceeds from this story will be donated to Watermelon Relief, a group of activists on the ground in Gaza working tirelessly to aid displaced families with food, support, and humanity.***

The Bookstagram Awards Author of the Year for 2024, Dave is a glasses-wearing, bearded human being from the middle of England who likes heavy music with loud guitars, watching movies, and reading and writing creepy stories.

Oh, and he also wrote and published The Ultimate Stephen King Quiz Book in 2022.

Dave lives at home with his wife, sons, and annoying dog. He made his debut as a published fiction writer in 2021's Welcome to the Funhouse, from Blood Rites. He was also a finalist in the Bellingham Review’s 2022 Tobias Wolff Prize for Fiction, and has been published in Psychotoxin Press, The Reach, and on The Horror Tree.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Horrifying

    Once again Dave Musson delivers an excellent, creepy short. This one, though, is horror on a different level as well. The all too accurate portrayal of real world violence made me a little bit sick and a lot angry, as it would anyone else of a similarly sympathetic bent. This horror hits close to home and will hopefully be a wake up call for certain types of people.

    It’s obvious what this short story/ novella is about! But the connection of all life on this planet is connected. Even in the most atrocious situations of heinous actions we can come together to stop oppression!
