Truth in Politics. Top Story - October 2026.
I'm publishing this in the Horror community because American politics feels like a House of Horrors now and because this note has been sitting in my drafts for too long. Besides, I've found a fitting image to go with the story. What could be better than a reference to the Walking Dead , one of the most successful horror TV shows, in an image and story to be published in October, the month of Halloween and horrors?

Waverly Hills Sanatorium: The Most Haunted Place in America?
Towering above the city of Louisville in the state of Kentucky is a building whose past is one of tragedy and mystery. Waverly Hills Sanatorium is considered by many to be among the most haunted places in America. However, long before ghost hunters explored the eerie hallways of Waverly Hills, it was an institution that was built during one of America's darkest public health scares, tuberculosis.

My Mother's Book. Top Story - October 2026.
It's only a transcendental irony that this story should be published during the harvest season. Some kind of cruel twist of fate that will make it seem like this is just another legend of ghosts, goblins, and vampires. But this is no yarn woven around the campfire on all hallows eve. It is as real as you sitting here reading my words this very moment. Not the kind of reality men see, but the kind that dwells within the bosom with an inward warmth. Humans come to expect things, things they take for granted yet they barely understand.

The Drummer of Tedworth
The house was quiet when the drumming began. Not music exactly. More of a rhythm. A " military tattoo " (a historic military signal played on a drum or sometimes a bugle to order soldiers to return to their quarters for the night), the sort of cadence that belonged outdoors, beneath open skies, where soldiers marched, and commands carried across fields. Except this was inside a house.

The Haunting of Sunnyvale Manor.
Matron Louisa Blackwell was very fond of her PA system. Every morning at 5am sharp...she adjusted her favorite amplifier for the acoustic, turned the volume level to the highest calibrated frequency...and equalized it to her satisfaction. Thus guaranteeing that she achieved clear, balanced and extremely loud audio across the entire sleeping population and listening area.

The Quiet Channel
You don’t expect anything strange from the weather radio. That’s the whole point. After the derecho last spring—after the sky turned the color of old bruises and the power lines snapped like bones—I wanted something predictable, steady, and that didn’t lie.

Love Knows Your Name
Her grandmother told her this when she was six. She had been sitting on the kitchen counter, bare heels knocking softly against the cabinet doors while her grandmother sliced peaches into a chipped white bowl. The counter was cool beneath her legs despite the late-summer heat, and somewhere outside, cicadas worried the afternoon until the air itself seemed to vibrate. Peach juice glazed her grandmother's fingers. She wiped them absently against her apron before reaching for another piece of fruit, leaving a dark crescent in the faded cotton. The kitchen smelled of warm peaches, dish soap, and something savory simmering beneath a lid on the stove.
