The Witches Cackle
THE WITCHES CACKLE Growing up in a small town with a haunted history, you are bound to hear a story or two. In the small town that I grew up in, there are many stories, but one of the most popular is about a Witch that the founder of the town had burned at the stake many moons ago. Yes, everybody loves the thrill of a good ghost story, but what happens when the story becomes a reality? What happens when instead of hearing about it, you are living it? I assure you, it is not something that you will soon forget.

Lord of the Green
The Lord of the Green felt the pine-needles crunch beneath his toes. The trees stirred from a slow slumber. The smell of decay hung heavy between them, the proud oaks and skeletal birch and withered snags all waking to feel his comforting presence. Mouthless, they sang their kyrie for him, the song only he could hear. A melody without end.

Possession
It started with the damn tea! I’m sure of it. I’ve not felt the same since I drank the mysterious tea at the Chinese restaurant two weeks ago. Now maybe the two things are not causally related, but I seriously doubt it! I drink the strange tasting tea after my lunchtime buffet at Golden Dragon on Wednesday. All night long, I have bizarre dreams about a spirit named Golgorth. The next morning I awake possessed by a demon. It strains the limits of plausibility to think they aren’t related.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Anything For Jackson' (2020)
Shudder is starting to up their game with their exclusive content. This is good, because so far I've been pretty unimpressed. Out of the several selections I've already viewed, most of them were boring or outright bad. But I can honestly say that Anything For Jackson (2020) is damn good. Good enough, where I'm sure it will find a spot somewhere on my top 50. Not high, but on there, and that's an impressive feat.

Hale County
Chapter 2 ‘It is a man’s own mind, not his enemy or foe, that lures him to evil ways’- Buddah The office was cozy, almost familial, with soft natural colors and inviting furniture. Various books on psychology lined the shelves complementing the degrees and certificates that adorned the walls. It was made to put patients at ease. At that moment Amanda Richardson felt as comfortable as she could ever remember being. It was that feeling that put her on edge. She straightened her posture and forced herself to focus.

Happy Wife Inc
The roses were sad. They had not been trimmed in weeks and the spent flower heads hung woefully, dried out. Carlisle’s new wife didn’t have an eye for that sort of thing. She had an eye for modern art, which now decorated their new living room, and she had an eye for expensive shoes, which lined the floors of their recently renovated closet.

A New Excerpt From "My Nightmares" Collection
"We deal in ghosts." I came to this understanding as I took in every possible angle of the old house one last time, burdened by that sense of finality as hours were now the only connective tissue that bound us. The time had come to grasp at all it had offered to me before it fell away from my hands, apparently forever.

Hunted in the Dark
I should have listened to you, Jennifer. God, I wish I had listened. I don’t know if you’ll get this letter, but I’m sorry. You were absolutely right. I’m so sorry I didn’t believe you. I should have never gone past the old train overpass. I just wanted to see if the stories were true. It was stupid to come out here after midnight. If I could take it all back, I would in an instant.
