The Thing That Wears the Faces of the Dead (Horror Fiction)

“I Went Undercover To a Body Farm” by Kevin Jones: A grieving husband goes undercover at a remote island body farm, convinced the reclusive caretaker knows what happened to his missing wife. But the island holds something far older than its corpses — something that watches from the treeline, wears the faces of the dead, and is patient enough to wait until the hunger sets in.
