Something is Killing the Children

Summary

“Something Is Killing the Children” is a horror series set in a small town plagued by nightmarish creatures that prey on children. Adults cannot see the monsters, leaving survivors disbelieved and traumatized. Enter Erica Slaughter, a mysterious monster hunter from a secret order known as the House of Slaughter, who arrives to investigate and eliminate the threat. The series balances grisly horror with an exploration of fear, survival, and the consequences of secrecy. Erica’s methods are brutal, but her empathy for children sets her apart. As she battles monsters and bureaucracy, the story also reveals the larger, shadowy organization she serves, adding layers of intrigue. Its atmosphere is tense and unsettling, with a sense of dread hanging over every encounter. At its core, the series is about trauma—both personal and communal—and how horror reshapes families and communities. It asks what we are willing to believe when faced with the unexplainable and what happens when institutions fail those who need them most.
