The Majestic Beast
The village of Dreymore had always been shrouded in mystery. Nestled between thick woods and towering mountains, its inhabitants lived simple lives, untouched by the modern world. But for generations, there was one tale whispered in the hushed hours of the night, one that sent chills down the spine of every listener. It was the tale of the Majestic Beast.

Leave The Little Door Be. Top Story - October 2024.
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. It wasn’t a door she would need to open; had she not been told to leave it be, she might never have fiddled with the knob. But as it stood, there was something gnawing away at her about the little wooden door to the immaculately crafted dollhouse that she had been tasked to tending. It wasn’t just the dollhouse under her charge, it was the whole of the nearly forgotten manor, but extra care had been instructed to the dollhouse.

Double Exposure
There was only one rule: don’t open the door… If only I had listened to my own advice. If only I had not listened to my heart. Now, my heart is dead. I know I sound utterly crazy and dramatic, a bad combination but being who I am, I cannot help it.

Beasts of the Town
There was only one rule: Don’t open the door. But I could hear the grotesque monsters inside. Their guttural snorts and shrieks of wicked laughter chilled me to the bone. Day after day, night after night, the sounds burrowed into my ears like silverfish. I knew what went on behind that closed door. Everyone in this godforsaken town did. And we all knew this evil could not continue. If anyone was going to save our town, it would have to be me.

The Forbidden Door: A Tale of Secrets and Shadows. AI-Generated.
It was a simple rule, etched into the worn wood above the heavy oak door. Yet, for the young man, it held an irresistible allure. The room beyond was shrouded in darkness, its secrets tantalizingly out of reach. Curiosity gnawed at him, a persistent itch he couldn't scratch.

Shadows of the Cursed Manor
One particularly dark and cold winter night, deep within the woods, stood an old and abandoned mansion, known by the locals as “The Devil’s Manor.” For years, it had stood without an occupant, its towering spires and dark windows resembling eyes, watching passersby from afar. The manor had a terrifying reputation. No one dared to venture near it — rumors said that spirits from the other world inhabited the house, searching for souls.

Curiosity
There was only one rule: don’t open the door. Molly didn’t care much for rules, and this one was all too intriguing. Mostly because it only applied when her mother was out of town.

The Mystery of Seua Saming
In the rich embroidered artwork of Southeast Asian old stories, not many animals spellbind the creative mind as much as the Seua Saming, or Weretiger. These amazing creatures are accepted to be people who have the capacity to change into brutal tigers, slinking the woodlands and towns of Thailand, Myanmar, and Laos. Like the werewolves of Western folklore, weretigers are both dreaded and worshipped for their extraordinary influence, as well as their capacity to bring both favorable luck and catastrophe.
