(I have another book titled The Outsiders which is a collection of original sci-fi stories, sorry about the confusion!) The Outsider is a story that follows a typical family moves into a small, quaint farm town only to get terrorized by a monstrous entity trope. What makes this story special to me is my history with it. When I was really young, I was heavily into horror. Through this, I discovered a youtube channel called Moon Raven Tales. This channel brought stories from the "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" trilogy to life in ways you can't get just by laying bored in bed at night. Although I grew out of the channel, recent developments in made me do a little searching. I discovered a channel called Moon Raven Legends which has archived a good portion of the videos on Moon Raven Tales which included "The Outsider" This was my favorite as a young child. I think I watched it almost every night like it was my favorite bedtime story. So now that I've rambled on about it trying to spoil as little as possible (which is difficult from how short it is, regarding it's meant for verbal retelling) I'll be very appreciative if you read my rewriting of this tale! (I mostly did this as a small writing exercise)
