After Midnight Tales

The Two-Legged Deer Sickness


Listen Later

Recounts a disturbing horror narrative in which the narrator traces a series of violent, unexplained suicides in his small town back to a local barbecue where guests ate contaminated venison. The incidents begin with a neighbor’s sudden self-destruction, followed by a teacher whose expressionless behavior mirrors the same eerie pattern. As the deaths multiply, the narrator realizes that all of them had attended the same gathering. The story’s tension builds around a hunting trip prior to the barbecue, during which the narrator’s father shot a deer that was standing upright in an unnatural, almost human posture. That deer later became the source of the meat served at the event. As the infection spreads, the narrator’s father succumbs, becoming violently unrecognizable, and the final revelation comes when the narrator discovers a mutated, reanimated deer carcass stored in the family freezer. Its twitching, monstrous form implies the presence of a parasitic or biological entity from the woods—one that pushes its hosts toward either murderous aggression or compelled self-destruction.
