Bloody Ceiling. Content Warning.
The inn was old—older than the crooked sign swinging above its warped doorway suggested. Paint peeled from the shutters, and ivy strangled the stone walls. But the price was cheap, and after a day of driving through the rain, Hal Draycott didn’t care about peeling paint or creaking stairs. He cared about a bed and a roof.

The Tunnel Feels Like a Rip - Off of The Blair Witch Project
The Tunnel was one of my most anticipated horror films I had been wanting to watch for years, ever since I saw the cover when I was a kid. I kept hearing this film was pretty original, and thought it would be cool to give it a watch. I eventually was able to watch it on one day several years ago, and I was left a bit…disappointed.

The House That Answers Back
Elias had lived in the house for only three weeks when the whispers began. At first, he thought it was the wind, sliding between the old shutters, or perhaps mice nesting in the walls.

The Girl in the Box: The Chilling Ordeal of Colleen Stan. Content Warning.
The Girl in the Box: The Chilling Ordeal of Colleen Stan On May 19, 1977, 20-year-old Colleen Stan set out from her home in Eugene, Oregon, with nothing more on her mind than a road trip to visit a friend in Northern California. She was young, adventurous, and like many at the time, comfortable hitchhiking. What began as a routine ride soon spiraled into one of the most shocking and disturbing captivity cases in American history. For the next seven years, Colleen’s life would be stolen from her, locked away—quite literally—in a wooden box beneath a bed.

The Last Staircase
Some rules are written in stone, others whispered as warnings—but what happens when curiosity outweighs caution? I’d always been drawn to the hostel’s roof. The old rule list was simple and final: “Do not go upstairs to the roof.” That was all it said. No explanation, no logic. Most students laughed it off as an outdated superstition, yet I couldn’t help but wonder: What could be so dangerous up there?

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.
