The Enchantress’ Challenge: Curse of Shadow’s End
As Kavarus exits the Cavern of the Dead, the same dark mist that brought him there begins to billow out of the entrance. It stretches its tendrils toward the town and spills forth at an alarming rate. Kavarus begins to run after it.

The Enchantress' Challenge: The Cavern of the Dead
Kavarus had thought Shadesmere was dead, in the sense that it was bare and lacking in human presence, but now he realized he wasn’t quite right. Shadow’s End is like the personification of Death himself. A living, breathing entity that is waiting over your shoulder to take you out at the precise moment you show any weakness. Where Shadesmere was eerie in its quiet emptiness, Shadow’s End is thrumming with an undercurrent of impending doom.

Two Tales of Midnight Horrors
At the time of my tale, I was maybe seven or eight. We lived on base because my father was in the military, so we had a small house. My two brothers had their room while I shared a room with my older sister, and one night I had never been more thankful she was there.

Secret Magic
Where is this place? I think as I drive down a seemingly unending dirt road. I was told the property hadn’t been accessed in a number of years, but I didn’t think it would be so far out in the middle of nowhere. My tires kick up dust clouds, and I know I’m going to have to wash my car later. My GPS tells me to turn right down another dirt road nearly hidden by trees.

Dark Thoughts
The creek behind Olivia’s house loomed from the tree line, seemingly growing larger as the sound of cicadas grew increasingly louder. With effort Olivia finally wrenched her eyes away, shaking her head as if to clear it. She slammed the blinds down and shakily walked to her bed.

The Spell Merchant
Lyursa dropped the rat tail into the cauldron and it began to bubble. She reached into the basket to her left and stripped a sprig of rosemary leaves from its stem. She gently crushed the leaves in her hand, releasing the earthy fragrance, before adding them to the mixture. Grasping the wooden spoon leaning in the cauldron, she stirred precisely three times counter-clockwise, and the water calmed.

The Hex Signs. Top Story - August 2023.
The first time I saw Stephen, he painted a hex sign on my right arm, and I couldn’t move my fingers for three hours. When I found him again the next day, I asked how he had done it. He just gave me a lopsided smile, the kind when someone knows something you don’t, and I decided right then that I was going to become his friend no matter what. I wanted to be in on his secrets.
