Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.
Pyramid of Immortalis
Dust swirled in the air as a stately scorpion dropped silently from a crack above, its delicate legs skimming the decaying floor. I fought the gnawing exhaustion in my limbs and pushed myself to my feet, my body resisting, my mind more eager than my flesh. Once again, I scanned the chamber—hoping against hope to uncover a clue or symbol I’d missed in my first hundred passes.

THE DOC READS WHITEHOUSE | ''Tunnels'' [EXCLUSIVE READING]
This bravery was both his greatest strength and his most profound weakness, for ignorance and heedlessness can often be mistaken for a deep and foolhardy sense of courage. He was to learn the limits of his bravery down in those oppressive tunnels, deep below the streets of Amsterdam.

Carnival: You're Going To Laugh
Josh woke up in his hospital bed. Staring at the ceiling, he thought about how hard he could hit the floor if he jumped from the ceiling. He smirked at how ridiculous the idea was. Telling himself that he would have to learn how to stand again first. Swiftly deflating himself telling himself, out loud, “Like I have a reason to walk anymore.”

Crack in the Doors
Riley John stood at his dresser, smelling each of the socks he had on top, trying to find the one that didn't smell. It had been a while since he made his way to his apartment's laundry room and his dirty clothes were piling up. He knew he should've done his laundry when he came home from work today, but he was tired. And not just from his job as a chiropractor. Riley had a secret no one, not even his closest friends, knew and he intended on keeping it a secret for as long as possible.

Waking Up to Nothing (Part 3)
I followed behind Grace not asking where we were headed. The road we traveled was an echo of what used to be. Nothing looked as it had on this side of town either. In my head, I could see children playing throughout the neighborhood and families gathering together in their front yards knowing things would continue for another day as long as they had one another. The light in their eyes was a reflection of the light in their hearts.
