Hor9: The Truth of Ugliness by Watcherchild

An excellent example of well-crafted psychological horror. I've always found
the idea of the Orcs being made by Melkor from captured Elves to be one of
the most terrifying concepts in the whole of Tolkien's canon, and this story
explains why in vivid and terrible detail. The quasi-fragmentary style
portrayed Nellin's naivety and mental state effectively, and Melkor's
stratagems and psychological manipulation are believable and in character.
The story manages to create a deep sense of horror and unease by leaving the
reader's imagination fill most of the gaps, often a much better method than
resorting to lurid graphic descriptions. A good, frightening, and tragic
read.
