Title: The Door to the Ghouls' Realm
Fandom: The Red Tree (Caitlin R. Kiernan)
Rating: PG-13
Length: 795
Content notes: Addendum of sorts to part of the story within a story; violence (implied and otherwise), blood, and weird doings among strange creatures; period specific unfavorable portrayal of Native Americans.
Author notes: Written for the "Doorway" challenge: the idea for this jumped out at me while I was reading the book itself; I'd gotten a bit stuck trying to come up with something to base off this prompt, so I took the chance in this. Be warned: there are dark doings ahead; it's inspired by Caitlin R. Kiernan, it's gonna be dark.
Summary: From Joseph Pearing Olney's diary, a fevered dream at the foot of the Red Tree.
