The House That Answers Back
Have you ever been inside a house that felt like it was listening to you? Not haunted in the dramatic, movie-jump-scare way—but aware. As if the walls were paying attention, the air was holding its breath, and every sound you made was quietly noted.

The Monster You Don't. Content Warning.
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. The premise of the game was simple. Contestants were placed in a colosseum with an unlocked exit door and a bloodthirsty monster for twenty-four hours.

One to See, One to Speak, One to Listen. Top Story - March 2024.
Contains gore and horror some readers may find disturbing. Rated 14+ Author's Intro: This story is meant to revive the Gothic literature so famously crafted by one of my favourite writer's, Edgar Allen Poe, and as such, the language and style is deliberately antiquated. Thank you for reading my all time favourite work of horror - Les

Until There Was One
"The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window—one and only one. One final beacon."

The Haunted Tower of London: Dark History, Ghost Stories, and Royal Tragedies
For almost a thousand years, the Tower of London has loomed along the River Thames as one of the most recognized—and spookiest—sites in the United Kingdom. Originally constructed by William the Conqueror in the 11th century, the Tower was first and foremost a fortress designed to secure Norman domination of England. However, as the Tower grew and matured as a structure and as a symbol of British history, it would come to serve many purposes simultaneously— royal residence, prison, treasury, armory, and even site of execution—no wonder it is associated with so many stories of ghosts and otherworldly experiences.

Moon-Struck Figures
Arthur couldn't sleep. Again. Three weeks, four days since the accident, and the nights were all the same: too long, too quiet, too full of things that weren't there but felt like they were. The old cabin, deep in the Blackwood Pines, was supposed to be a refuge. A place to get his head straight, away from the knowing glances and hushed tones. Instead, it was a soundproof box for his own unraveling.

Oh How She Hungers
Light cast through the church, as if God was reaching a hand into the space to remind the few lingering congregation members of the Heavenly embrace that resided upon them. Its glow passed through the stained glass windows, and landed upon the hung head of the statue of Jesus upon the cross.

French Horror Has Me Entranced
I’ve come over all Gallic recently. For some time now, French horror seems to be leading the way when it comes to taking risks, courting controversy, while delivering some outstanding shocks and lingering torment!

The Spiritual Door Was Opened And Something Answered...
Most people think of séances and Ouija boards as relics... Parlor tricks from another century, novelties sold in boxes, harmless ways to flirt with the unknown.

The Puddle Gaze
The rain was a cold, insistent slap against Finn’s face the moment he pushed through the swinging doors of the diner. Ten hours of frying grease and fake smiles, and this was his reward. The city was a slick, dark beast, its asphalt skin glistening under the jagged scars of neon light. Blues, reds, sickening greens. Everything blurred, everything bled into everything else, especially in the puddles.

I'm Sad We Will Never Get a Rated - R Jurassic Park
I recently started reading the Jurassic Park book, that I had no idea existed. I only read a couple of chapters, and now I'm so sad that we are never going to get a Rated - R Jurassic Park. The book starts off so strong, and I couldn't believe how violent these deaths were.

Horror in the High Desert 4: Majesty - A Frustrating Experience
My review of the first three films in the series can be found here. *** I'm officially frustrated. The long-awaited fourth and penultimate film in the Horror in the High Desert series, Majesty, adds little to pique interest in the overall lore. Instead, it becomes more tangled, adding more characters and lore that muddy the water even more instead of clarifying it. I defended the first three movies with the caveat that the last two movies needed to pick up the pace.
