When the Dead Walked
The world as I knew it ended the day the dead began to walk. It started small, almost unnoticed—a strange virus spreading through remote villages, isolated cases reported on the news. At first, it seemed like another headline to scroll past, a weird flu, a localized epidemic. But then the reports escalated: people attacking their friends and family with unnatural ferocity, bodies reanimating after death, relentless and hungry.

The Slasher Problem. Top Story - September 2025.
Imagine you're reading a story about someone who's trapped in a room with a hungry tiger. As a normal, comparatively weak human being they have no hope of besting the tiger in a fight. However, in the far corner of the room is a high-caliber hunting rifle: the perfect defense against a dangerous predator, if they could only get to it. Through trickery and careful maneuvering, the protagonist finally manages to secure the rifle. They turn it on the tiger, aim, fire, and the shot hits the animal directly between the eyes. The tiger immediately falls to the ground. It's a wound deadly enough to kill anything, after all.

The Train That Waited
The station was nearly deserted that winter night. Midnight had passed, and the fog wrapped around the platforms like a heavy blanket. The last train stood waiting, its headlights glowing faintly, hissing steam into the cold air. The few remaining passengers had already boarded, but one young woman remained seated on a wooden bench, clutching her suitcase.

The Broken Mirror
The mirror hung in the hallway like it had always been there, tall and imposing, reflecting the narrow strip of the old house with unnerving precision. Its frame was carved with delicate patterns, curling like the tendrils of a long-forgotten dream. I had always been told it was special, that it had a story, but I never believed in such things.

The Creepy Friend Request That Changed My Life Forever
It all began with a single friend request. The profile picture was bizarre—something about it unsettled me. Normally, I never accepted requests from strangers. But that night, for reasons I still can’t explain, I clicked “Accept.”

The Time I Yelled Out No to Him
The house was never quiet. Even in the dead hours, when the world outside seemed frozen, the old beams whispered to themselves, sighing under the weight of history. Tonight, though, the sounds were different. The creaks weren’t idle, they were deliberate like footsteps circling the edges of my awareness.

The Queen of Shadows: When a Human Office Turns into a Playground for Jinn. Content Warning.
I had just opened the door to my apartment when a message popped up. I looked at my phone in surprise—no one ever texts me. Nobody knows me except at work. But the shock came when I saw who sent it… the manager. And not just one, but two messages.

The Last Message
It started with a message... Emma, a 23-year-old student from London, had always been curious about the darker side of the internet. A self-proclaimed “paranormal enthusiast,” she loved browsing through mysterious forums, reading creepy tales, and watching strange, unsolved disappearances. One night, after scrolling through a forum she hadn’t visited before, she came across an unusual post titled “Send a Message to the Future, and It Will Reply.”

The Knock at 2 A.M.
I don’t usually wake up at 2 A.M. I am the kind of person who sleeps like a rock. But that night, something pulled me out of my dreams—like a string yanking me awake.

THE GHOST IN THE CODE - PART 5
Leo’s visit was a poison seed. It didn’t sprout into a immediate, dramatic confrontation, but germinated in the quiet spaces between their thoughts. The bookstore remained a sanctuary, but its caretakers now moved through it with the subtle vigilance of soldiers in a peaceful, yet occupied, city.

THE GHOST IN THE CODE - PART 4
THE GHOST IN THE CODE - PART 4 The fire that consumed the community's secrets did more than just provide warmth; it forged a new, quieter understanding between them. The frantic energy of defense cooled into a vigilant, steady calm. Pages & Prose wasn't just a bookstore anymore; it was a statement. A declaration of independence in a world hell-bent on interconnection. They were an island, and they liked it that way.

Don’t Open the Door
I’ve always thought living alone was freedom. No arguments about dishes, no noise I didn’t choose, no one asking why I was awake at three in the morning. Just me, my books, and the quiet.
