[tolkienhorrorweek]

Tolkien Horror Week is back for another year of celebrating all the terrifying and unsettling bits of Tolkien's work! The event will run from October 25–31 and accepts all types of fanworks. There is an AO3 collection for the event here.

Below are some suggested prompts for each day of the week. They are not mandatory; feel free to combine them or disregard them entirely.

Day 1: Angband, Utumno, and Tol-in-Gaurhoth | older and fouler things | made and unmade Day 2: Angmar, Minas Morgul, and Númenor | like shades of night | devoted and damned Day 3: Mordor and the Dead Marshes | a dark cloud of fear | dead and undead Day 4: The Barrow-downs and the Old Forest | out of the mist | awake and asleep Day 5: Mirkwood, Nan Elmoth, and Taur-nu-Fuin | the depths of the wood | hunter and hunted Day 6: Nan Dungortheb, Ered Gorgoroth, and the Girdle of Melian | weaving webs of shadow | light and unlight Day 7: Isengard, Moria, and the Paths of the Dead | the deep places of the world | sworn and forsaken

Please mention @tolkienhorrorweek in the body of your post and tag #tolkienhorrorweek and #tolkienhorrorweek2026 in the first 10 tags. You may also submit a post. Please tag any content warnings/gore and place any NSFW content beneath a read more/link to AO3.

"The chief city of this southern realm was Osgiliath, through the midst of which the Great River flowed; and the Númenóreans built there a great bridge, upon which there were towers and houses of stone wonderful to behold, and tall ships came up out of the sea to the quays of the city." - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, "Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age"

@gondorweek day 4 ❊ OSGILIATH

[ID: an edit comprised of four posters colored primarily in blue and brownish orange. Top to bottom, left to right, they show:

1: A stone colonnade along the verge of a river or canal. Trees grow beyond it, and a minaret and dome are visible in the distance, built of the same stone. White text in the upper left corner, framed by two white lines, reads "Osgiliath" in all caps, and beneath it, smaller, "citadel of the stars" / 2: An ornately decorated interior, with columns and a dome circled by arched windows. The ceilings are painted with golden stars and other gilded detailwork covers the walls. White serif text in the bottom left corner, with a white line underneath, reads "There Anduin, going in a wide knee about the hills of Emyn Arnen in South Ithilien, bent sharply west, and the out-wall rose upon its very brink;" / 3: A second interior, lit by two lamps and carpeted in blue, with carved walls and high arching windows. Same format as Image 2, but the text is at the top right, and the line is above it. It reads "and beneath it lay the quays and landings of the Harlond for craft that came upstream from the southern fiefs." / 4: A stone tower and wall, perhaps of a fortress, with water and low mountains visible in the background. Same format and text as Image 1, with the orientation reversed so the text is in the bottom right corner //End ID]
