The Atlas Vampire Murder: Stockholm's Most Chilling Unsolved Mystery
On a quiet September morning in 1932, residents of an apartment building in Stockholm began to worry. One of their neighbors, a young woman named Lilly Lindeström, had not been seen for several days.

Warren is Dead!
Harley Warren and Randolph Carter were spotted by reliable witnesses walking the Gainesville Pike under the fat, spectral face of a waxing moon. We must assume they carried spade, shovel, and pick in hand. Warren, at the very least, carried with him a telephone apparatus of a strange and inscrutable nature. He may have had the long, long cord wrapped about his person.

M. Valdemar
"The expiration of the cataleptic patient! how uneventful! how languid!—how utterly oppressed beneath the incubus of torpor! His eyes, dull, sluggish, and lustreless, rivet themselves to my own, as if they would look into my very soul.”

Northbrook P2
Marry stood in the doorway for a moment with Eli behind her, the young girl poking her head around her mother to examine the inside of the decrepit building. The interior was slightly cleaner, the moisture had not gotten to it yet and several clean pieces of furniture and counters gave her hope for a few heartbeats. A long green couch that would seat three sat to her right, across from a fireplace that made a dark mouth in the center of the living room. A chill ran throw her before she ripped her gaze away and examined several padded chairs that were strewn about in the corners, as if a group had rested here last. She took several steps forward to pear through the doorway to her left, Elis’ soft footsteps sounding quietly behind her. The kitchen resided there, a small dark room with an electric stove and an old white refrigerator planted around enough countertops to prepare a meal for a small family. The sink looked older than her, made of cast, plugged into pipes that had no doubt been laid into the land when the cabin had been constructed.

Northbrook P1/Intro
Hot gravel popped and crunched under heavy rubber tires that had hauled the old steel clad bronco the two hundred miles north on quiet country highways over the last few hours. It was not dark yet, but the sun had begun to make its exit from the sky, leaving a dim light to cast itself over the old cabin that sat in the clearing they had arrived at. It was old indeed, the kind of old that’s presence imposes an ominous haunted haze in the air. Cracked windows in crudely cut holes in its sides allowed for small strands of light to make their way in past the thick, high trees surrounding it on every side.

The Quiet Path
Sera always avoided the old walking path behind her Greendale homestead. Not because it looked dangerous — it didn’t. It was just a narrow dirt trail winding between tall pines, soft moss, and quiet undergrowth. Peaceful, even.

It’s in the walls
The first sound was small. A soft tap behind the drywall, so faint Calder assumed it was just the old Greendale farmhouse settling. Houses did that — especially ones sitting alone on an acre of land, especially in the thick Michigan humidity.
