Teeth Grinding in the Dark
I. Beneath the Skin of the Earth There are hideous creatures lurking far below, in the bowels of the earth, waiting, hungry, crouched low in the darkness. Their heavy, strange breathing is a weird counterpoint to the incessant dripping of water; but, in the caverns, in the caves that twist and snake below the surface of things, there is the ominous drone of empty space, the filtering of air, carrying the noxious vibratory hum of flesh curdling like cheese in vast darkness. Below, here, in this space below the surface, these subterranean vaults and crypts, are the bones of the Elders, the burying ground of a suppressed yesteryear; brooded over by hideous, white things, fur-bearing fungoids in the deep, black pools of the tunneled night.

Did a Prank Create the Rolling Calf?
I am from Jamaica, and I always hear the old folks talk about the Rolling Calf. I have never seen one, but some people would swear on anything that they are real. It makes me wonder, what is a Rolling Calf, and how did these stories even start? My grandmother told me a story from when she was a young girl. She and her best friends decided to play a little joke on their community. It was a long time ago, not like now, where you can just call a taxi. Back then, there was only one bus that went to town, and it only came at a certain time. If you missed the bus or if there were no cars around, you had to walk. People would walk for miles and miles, or sometimes they would ride their donkeys.

Red Inside the Walls. Content Warning.
Mara had not meant to stay the night. When she first entered the old house, it was supposed to be just another renovation job. She was used to them by now. Rotting wallpaper, sagging floors, the smell of mildew clinging to the air. None of it bothered her. She worked alone, moving from one house to the next, patching holes, scraping paint, sanding floors. It was quiet work, the kind that let her forget everything for a while.

The House That Watches Back
The House That Watches Back The house on Ashgrove Lane wasn’t what they wanted — it was what they could afford. After months of searching, Emily and Daniel finally signed the papers. To Emily, it looked like something out of an old novel: creaking floors, ivy crawling up the walls, and a staircase that whispered under every step. To their eight-year-old daughter, Lily, it was “the fairy house.”

They're Not Just Good For Doctors
Little Robby pulled the quilt up over his head. He heard the chains being drug over the wooden floors below. Even at twelve, he knew the stories. He heard the clip-clop of hooves on the stairs. Those stories didn't usually end well for the children involved, children who had not exactly been angels throughout the year.

We Were Never Supposed to Go There
It started as a dare. Everything stupid in high school does. We were sitting behind the gym, passing around a cigarette and pretending not to care that graduation was two weeks away and none of us knew what we were doing after. The woods loomed behind the chain-link fence, dark and heavy. Everyone called them Deadwater Woods. They said a girl named Elise went missing there ten years ago and that sometimes you could still hear her crying if you got close enough.
