UNMASKING THE SUPERNATURAL VIGILANTE ASSOCIATION | The Carter Chronicles: Metro Times Daily
When journalist Carter follows the trail of a notorious supernatural vigilante, he uncovers a city on the brink, a war in the shadows, and a truth more dangerous than he ever imagined. IN THIS EPISODE: Tonight I’m actually bringing you three separate stories, but they are part of a single series titled “The Supernatural Vigilante Association”. It’s a dark story, very well written, and has an interesting noir feel to it that I would not have expected for creepypasta about anti-heroes with superpowers. The author goes by the pen name “Wound Licker”, and I’ve got a link to his Facebook page in the show description, as well as links to the three individual stories used for this episode.
