The Snaring of Gorlim by Zdenka

Fanwork Notes

Written for the Spook Me Ficathon 2015. My prompts were:

1) ghost;
2) the image The Invisible Noose (a sepia photograph of a woman in a long white dress with her back to the viewer, her feet suspended off the ground and her neck at an odd angle);
3) the image La Plus Belle Peur De Ma Vie (A boy stands in front of three wax candles, two lit and one which has just gone out; he is turning around with an expression of terror to face a figure which has just tapped him on the shoulder: a blood-smeared skeleton dressed in rags and with long white hair. Behind the skeleton are a black owl perched on a broken cross, bats silhouetted against the moon, and gravestones with clusters of glowing lights or possibly eyes.).

Gorthaur: another name for Sauron.
