The Hunger Games Horror Collection Works
Persistence Hunter by @sadalmostlesbian, E, 2k, gore, death, and body horror.
"So they stopped breathing, pouring out of the nearest exit like ants up from the ground. He knew some hadn’t made it, succumbing to paralysis where the sun could not send them off. He made it, though. And as long as he was still breathing, it was the least he could do to make sure General Snow soon wouldn’t be able to say the same."
OR: General Snow's death during the First Rebellion as told through the eyes of the District Thirteen soldier who killed him.
The Panemian Prometheus by st4rgir2 / @st4rgir222, M, 5k, gothic horror.
Daedala Breen is known in Capitol History books as the 'Mother of Mutts'. Developed for guerrilla war to eradicate religious Zealots along the outskirts of Panem, Daedala's creations-- her children-- are successful. She has erased God, and by doing so she has taken His place. But creation is a jealous art-- and despite all her genius, mankind was never meant to play God.
Inspired by Frankenstein, seeking to answer the question of what happened to religion in Panem. Set before the First Rebellion and Dark Days.
every day by @mollywog, Not Rated, 833 words, stalking.
The movie line “After that, I watched you go home every day… every day.” But make it horror
The Death of Allison Waide by @districtfourmermaid, M, 2.4k, gore, death, and body horror.
The say death could last forever. DMT, the chemical that causes dreams, is released to the dying brain, possibly extending one moment beyond conscious perception of time. What is an afterlife but your last thoughts pulled to eternity? Add Tracker Jacker venom to the mix, and what afterlife would that be for a death like that of the female Tribute of District 4 in the 74th Hunger Games?

"That they were this far from civilization made Peeta uneasy, but it seemed to excite Katniss. She was different around here– she had fewer inhibitions and a persistent, lovely glint in her eye. Now, there was more fire than usual in the body that pressed up against his, more urgency."
A game at the lakeside cabin takes an unexpected turn. Inspired by "Gerald's Game" by Stephen King.
The Maiming by divincis / @tiffynathy, M, 2.2k, cults, murder on prom night
My date's outside, checking that the path's clear. It snowed the night or so before. There's still black ice out.
So if you never see me again, or if I vanish — just know that whatever came after me might've succeeded. Or I beat it, and I'm hiding out, waiting for you to find me.
Teenagers, prom, and a cabin in the woods to save their souls.
Songbird of the Sea by PrincessPuffles / @princesspufflesposts, E, 3.4k, sirens, spookiness, mildly dubious consent
But when the voices first came to Peeta the night he moved into 296 Shell Street, he hadn't expected them to be so… angelic. Soft and mesmerizing, spun into airborne silk from salt and ocean winds. The breeze carried the songs up to Peeta's bedroom, and that first night, he wondered if he'd been personally chosen to hear them.
Peeta Mellark answers the call of the sea.
Sirens AU, with smut since... this was written by me. Happy Halloween!
Lucky by @thesunpersists and @mollywog, Not Rated, 6.1k, domestic violence, miscarriage, ambiguous ending
An old routine comes back to her. She repeats what she knows, starting with the simplest things she knows to be true and working her way up to the more complicated.
