Tales from The Shack - The Unfortunate Tale of Ankou

Welcome back, Shack Packers! We know life can turn upside down faster than a poorly balanced bookshelf, and sometimes, that means our long-form content takes a little detour. But fear not! When chaos strikes, we bring you short tales to keep your curiosity fed and your lanterns burning.

Tonight, we unravel the legend of The Ankou—the spectral figure who watches over the passage between this world and the next. But there’s a twist… because even the harbinger of death has workplace troubles, and not all who tread in their shadow do so willingly.

So sit back, swing the lantern, and prepare to be… moderately unsettled, mildly horrified, and probably rethinking your life choices.

Oh, and if you hear whispering behind you—it’s definitely the wind. ...Probably.
