Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.

A Deep Slumber
I woke up with a startle, the dreadful nightmare had my insides churning, and I was panting as if I’d just seen a ghost. I tried adjusting to the darkness, but why was it dark, wasn’t it supposed to be morning by this time. I squinted my eyes to look at my watch, it displayed 11:00 AM, then why was it so dark, I wondered. Why did the bed feel so hard instead of being its own plushie self? I looked down and I noticed that I was on the floor. Oh God, how could someone be so stupid as to fall off the bed and not even know how and when they fell? I tried getting up from the floor, but suddenly a sharp pain shot up my leg and I went crashing down towards the floor. I squinted my eyes to see clearer, this place certainly didn’t look like my bedroom. As I realized I was not in my bedroom, panic and anxiety gripped me, engulfing me in like a forest fire. This seemed so similar to the last encounter I had, which had left me scarred for life.

The Man in the Hall
I let the door snick shut behind me, mussing hair out of sleep-coated eyes as my leaden feet carried me back down the darkened hall to the bedroom.

The Nightmare
I had barely drifted off when I felt the icy hand wrap around my throat. I tried to pry the hand away from me, but that only caused my attacker’s grip to tighten. I kicked at my attacker as he lifted my body off the bed. My arms flailed as I struggled to find something to hold on to. This is a dream. If I open my eyes, I’ll be in my bedroom. My eyes popped open, but I may as well have kept them closed. The room was so dark that I wouldn’t have been able to see my hand in front of my face. I felt my ears stand up when I heard what sounded like water crashing below me. A wave of exhaustion hit me when I realized that I was dangling above a body of water.

Crime of Passion
I have come up here, to Greenlake Park, to commit the most unspeakable of acts. I have brought my father's pistol and I am ready. For weeks on end, I have been suffering the most horrific phantasms. Such horrible nightmares: the legs of a woman, laying under the thin veil of a white dress. I have no idea why I am being punished by God in this way, that I am being temped by Satan in the form of a beautiful girl in my dreams. To even think I would commit such an act, it's unthinkable. That is why I felt it was necessary that I must do this. Tell my mother and father it is not their fault. Although they were the ones who have shunned me for going against the rightful behavior which they have ingrained into my mind. But it is not their fault, this is a war of sin I have been fighting within myself.

Watch Me
It started off so innocently. Trevor would follow Lylah around like a love sick puppy. To him, she is a bright light that he couldn’t wait to capture. Her pretty smile is so alluring to the point that Trevor was mesmerized. Watching her is his greatest joy, but… unfortunately it wasn’t enough. His sweet glances began to turn into possessive stares as the days went by.

'The Game' [Podcast]
[Scroll down to listen to actual Podcast Of THE GAME below] In the meantime, what is a creepypasta? Creepypastas are essentially internet horror stories, passed around on forums and other sites with the intent to disturb and frighten readers. The name "Creepypasta" comes from the word "copypasta," an internet slang term for a block of text that gets copied and pasted over and over again from website to website. Creepypastas are sometimes supplemented with pictures, audio, and/or video footage related to the story. The subject matter is typically filled with gory, distorted, or otherwise shocking content.

October Fires
“Alizon! Come over here.” I entered the room to see my mother casually standing over a stiff body bag. Not shocked, just disappointed.

I'm No Child
Okay, let me get one thing out of the way for the sake of context: I'm in my early adulthood and I am shorter than the teenagers around here. There are times when I go to a movie theater or pick up a wine bottle for myself and, when I pull out my state ID, the employee seems surprised when it reveals that I'm over 20. They don't explicitly say anything, I guess because of the shift they have to deal with, but I know that they're surprised.

Hell Is Thicker Than Water
The town was consumed in an inferno. Those who were unlucky enough to be touched by it were screaming in pain and pleading for a mercy that they would eventually grow to learn would never come. A trail of bloodied bodies that were either dead or dying lead to the source of the chaos. He continued to walk slowly without a hint of remorse, as he looked around at the outcome of what he started; he knew the denizens of the town would make a bigger mess in a heap of panic, and he initially just gave them a push, but decided to have some fun amongst the chaos.
