Maeltopia - A New World of Horror Fiction

The Journal of Dr. Theodore Willard

While murderous doctors are certainly a common archetype used in both past and contemporary horror stories, few compare to the actually events that took place in the late 1800s and early 1900s in a small English town called Willard. A direct descendent of the city’s founders, which was established sometime during the late 1500s, Dr. Theodore Willard was the town physician and medical expert. In fact, his surgical expertise was known far and wide, and it wasn’t uncommon for people to travel long distances in order to receive his care. However, in the summer of 1917, Dr. Willard’s hospital was burnt to the ground (the cause of the fire was never determined), and what responders found in the debris was nothing short of horrifying: strange writings, bizarre torture devices, and countless bodies (in various states of hideous disrepair). While little is known about the specifics of Dr. Willard’s misdeeds, hints of his atrocities were left in a small personal journal recovered from the site of the fire. The following are excerpts from the journal of Dr. Willard himself.
