Groove. Top Story - September 2026.
He collected vinyl records. He ditched his collection for CDs years ago, but when he played his first song on CD, "Won't Get Fooled Again" by the Who, it blasted out of the speakers with no warning. He realised that a vinyl record, however perfect, always had surface noise when the needle hit the vinyl, so you always knew something was coming, like the vibration of a rail when a train is on the way.

This Is the End. Top Story - September 2026.
This Is the End By Corey Harland She walked without much attention to where she was going. The sidewalk was familiar enough that her feet handled most of the work themselves. One hand held her phone while the other occasionally disappeared into her coat pocket as she moved beneath the streetlights.

I Believe in Demons. I Just Don’t Believe in Christianity. Top Story - August 2026.
There is a slightly awkward flaw in my claim that I don’t believe in Christianity. I might believe in demons. Not necessarily Christian demons. I’m not picturing a red man with horns, a pitchfork and an administrative role somewhere beneath Satan. I don’t believe in the Christian understanding of God, I don’t believe the Bible is the divinely dictated explanation of reality, and I certainly don’t believe Christianity has exclusive ownership over whatever might be lurking in the parts of existence we don’t understand.

Ghosts Beneath the City. Top Story - August 2026.
Hauntings can occur in a number of places and there is no exception as to what place might be haunted. Centuries old buildings. Cemeteries. Hospitals. Even hotels. And then you have the sort of places where ghosts might be the last thing on your mind.

Earth Vs. the Spider . Top Story - July 2026.
Earth vs. the Spider is a wonky 1959-or-thereabouts monster flick with a bunch of good-looking, blindingly White Eisenhower-era cats and cattettes doing battle against a giant hairy real tarantula living in a cave.

Tapestry of the Mind. Top Story - July 2026.
It took me a while to gather enough courage to enter the dilapidated old house. After all, who wouldn’t be hesitant to willingly walk into a building in such disrepair? If I weren’t the city building inspector, I wouldn’t be here; that’s for sure, but it’s my job, so here I am.

Cat People . Top Story - June 2026.
Cat People by Paul Schrader is a remake of the 1942 film Cat People by Val Lewton, directed by Jacques Tourneur, who directed Curse of the Demon with Dana Andrews, which ws based on the story "Casting the Runes" by M.R. James. Already we're buried fur-deep in trivia. The modern movie stars the very sexy and svelte Nastassia Kinski who is the daughter of legendary, iconic Euro-sleaze horror actor Klaus Kinski, who played Jack the Ripper and Nosferatu, and who reputedly was just one card short of actually being a full-blown narcissistic psychopath. At any rate, even his beautiful, beautiful daughter derided him, and said later, after his death, that it didn't exactly fill her with any sadness that he had shuffled off this mortal coil.

Lighting the Moon. Top Story - June 2026.
I've learned to like climbing. I used to find it grueling and pointless. The view was never worth the sweat and the scrapes.

Wrath's Inferno. Top Story - June 2026. Content Warning.
I rub the tiredness from my eyes and crane my neck to listen in the dead of night. I swear I heard a door open. I wave off the thought. It’s probably just my imagination from all of my late nights at work; the doors were locked before I came up. A creaking floorboard stops my heart in my chest, sending a maddening pulse into my ears. Someone is here. Ice slides through my veins with every footstep ascending the staircase and drawing closer. Forcing my stunned limbs into action, I creep along the floor to my window and hide behind my bed like a child. Every too noisy breath dares to give away my position.

Hunter's Moon. Honorable Mention in Out of the Dream Challenge. Top Story - June 2026.
Joe’s heart was hammering wildly and his breath came in ragged gasps. His feet crunched over the gravel trail as he ran. Instinctively, he knew that something was badly wrong in his world, but his memory was a blank.
