Vox's Famous Meat Pies
Starring Alastor the Radio Demon and Hattie Mahin Hattie Mahin smirked from the shadows as Vox's head was ripped clean from his shoulders by Valentino. The crowd erupted — cheers, screams, static crackling in the air — everyone too drunk on chaos and survival to notice what she did next.

Are You Listening?
“Sam. Are you listening? We don’t have much…” Bryan Egar King was born on June 5, 1912, the oldest son of Melvin and Margaret Towns. Although the family name was Towns, his parents gave their firstborn son the last name King, hoping he would amount to great things.

When the Lights Come On
The first house on our street put up its Christmas lights on September 3rd. I noticed them on my way home from work, when the sun was beginning to disappear behind the trees and the last of the summer heat still clung to the pavement. I had been thinking about nothing more complicated than whether I had enough energy to mow the lawn before dark when the lights caught my attention. They were small white bulbs, evenly spaced along the roofline of the blue house at the end of the street, and against the deepening evening they looked almost painfully bright.

Dead air on the dial.. Content Warning.
The blood was the loudest part. Not the sound of it—because spilling blood is surprisingly quiet, a soft, wet hiss against the hardwood floor—but the sheer, overwhelming volume of it. Brenta never knew a human body could hold that much. It pooled around Erik’s head, soaking into his light hair, turning the pale rug a deep, angry maroon.

Drive-in Movie Night. Top Story - September 2026.
All small towns have their urban legends. Some have a murderer that roams the area around a specific holiday, while others claim that aliens or ghosts appear after midnight. The list could go on forever. I remember when Scary Movie 3 came out and my friends and I saw it for the first time. The random, mysterious "seven days" phone calls never seemed that scary to us. We always found a way to break down a movie and strip the fear away. We would even look up real urban legends to see if anything similar had ever actually happened. Whenever we found something promising, though, it usually ended up debunked, or we'd find a news report noting that the police had caught a human culprit.

We are Still Here. Top Story - September 2026.
Jonah Cross drove his car down the long highway listening to that old Tiffany song he liked so much as he found himself driving through a stretch of the lonely highway that he hated with a passion. It wasn't a long stretch, but it was there.

This Can’t Be Real
This Can’t Be Real Tim’s workday started the same as every other one. He’d report to the office, pick up his assignment, and drive with his crew to the house, apartment, or storage locker that needed clearing out. Disposing of people’s things was what the company he worked for did. It could be a single item: bed, chair, table, or a whole house full of stuff. It didn’t matter what it was. If the customer wanted it gone, they removed it.
