The Lantern Path. Content Warning.
They told us never to follow the lights in Barlow Wood. Not that anyone warned me directly. I wasn’t from here. I came with Delilah—my partner—after her mother passed. The cabin was part of her inheritance, buried somewhere between the dying pines, shrouded in mist thick enough to choke on. She called it a “quiet place to grieve.”

The Couple
I was driving down an empty road, following a GPS that been frozen for about thirty minutes. I was warned constantly by my parents that I should brought a fucking map, but I refused. Even though this GPS is old, it never failed me once on any of my trips…until right now.

👾 Polybius: The Video Game That Didn't Just Play You — It Played With Your Mind. Content Warning.
In the murky haze of early 1980s arcades—amid the buzz of CRT screens and the scent of stale popcorn—there was said to be a machine unlike any other. Unmarked, dark, and strangely magnetic, the game known as Polybius allegedly appeared in a few suburbs of Portland, Oregon… and then disappeared forever.

Open Me Only When I’m Dead. Content Warning.
She was dead now. My grandmother. And I had the crowbar in my hands. Grandmother wasn’t the sentimental type. Cold-blooded, my mother used to say. “She raised me like a plant she forgot to water.” Yet at the funeral, they buried her with a rosary clenched so tightly in her fist it left red imprints on her bones. She died with her jaw unhinged. Not metaphorically — it literally hung open, dislocated, as if she’d been screaming when her heart stopped.

The Boat Trip
I watched my boyfriend, Marcus, swimming in the ocean. He thought it would be the perfect time to jump into the water, and go for a swim.

Into the Sewers
I crouched down in the dark, trying to make myself as small as possible. I could feel the damp, cold concrete through my thin t-shirt. There was a steady drip-drip towards the back of the pipe I’d chosen to hide in.

The quiet one walks again . Content Warning.
I hadn’t spoken in years — not since the incident. Not even when they pushed my brother’s things into my arms — blood still soaking the folded hoodie. Not when they said, “You’re the only one left, Mallory. You have to try.”

Whispers in the Fog
Eli Porter had only meant to visit Grey Hollow for a weekend. He was a travel blogger, always on the hunt for forgotten towns with stories to tell. But Grey Hollow wasn’t just forgotten—it had been erased. No phone signal, no Wi-Fi, and the last known article about it was dated 1964. That was the hook.

LINGER . AI-Generated.
The sun dipped behind palm shadows. Cayenne Cove slipped into silence. The tourists were gone. He arrived with the dusk, a stranger gliding through unlocked doors and cracked windows. Not to steal—just to linger.

Creepshow 2 Did Not Deserve so Much Hate from Critics
I couldn’t understand how the sequel to the iconic Creepshow film received so much criticism. This anthology film had great stories that were well written, and despite the silliness of the insane ideas, it was terrifying!

The Laughing Courtyard: A Haunted Love Story That Ended in Blood
Ali and Zainab thought they had finally escaped the chaos of the city. When they found an old house on the edge of a quiet village, it felt like a blessing. The courtyard was wide and green, overflowing with roses and jasmine. A massive banyan tree stood in the center, its branches spread like open arms offering shelter.
