The Kavordian Library

I am going to do an anthology starting in January. One story a week for 52 weeks. I’ll be posting to patreon and ko-fi before it comes up on here.

I plan on writing a cohesive story about a pair of married detectives in regards to the 52 stories (probably around 1000-3000 words each).

I’m stuck at 37 creepy places for detectives to go see in a town that was started up in the 1890s and is current to today. I need some help coming up with some more locations. Middle of the country with brushland, a river, woods, hills, a rock quarry – no mountains/ocean/military bases unless maybe an old armory? So, not an old military/naval instillation, just a common city built on a resource. Mind helping me with ideas for creepy locations for the other 15 places? Here’s what I have so far:

1. large pit (probably an old sink hole or slaked lime pit)
2. old airport
3. burned out power station
4. grove in the brushland
5. odd arrangement of rocks
6. abandoned farmstead
7. old sawmill
8. old gas station
9. decrepit motel near the highway out of town
10. abandoned house out in the hills
11. pond in abandoned housing development
12. burned out cabin in the woods
13. abandoned bus station
14. old movie theater
15. old quarry
16. old house in the historic district
17. patch of trees and shrubs that had been part of a mystery television series
18. decrepit car wash
19. abandoned iron works
20. abandoned mall
21. burned out elementary school
22. old cave in the woods
23. old church
24. old river bridge for pedestrian and train/vehicle traffic
25. old sanitorium
26. abandoned theme park
27. old greenhouse and rose garden attached to an abandoned mansion
28. cemetery not in use since the 1960s
29. single lane road that washes out during flash floods
30. hiking trail between the university and the river walk
31. windowless building once owned by a church
32. abandoned hotel on a river cliff purchased by an investor
33. an overgrown amphitheater
34. abandoned train station
35. forest reclaimed grainery
36. old museum in a Victorian mansion
37. abandoned grocery store

*Edited*

Here are some suggestions I received since last night:

1. old jail
2. old funeral home
3. old dentist office
4. run-down pier
5. closed down arcade
6. auto junkyard
