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.
jewel-like eyes
I crept down the dimly lit hallway, my partner following quietly behind me. As we approached the small wooden door, I pressed my back to the wall nodding to my partner. He maneuvered into the center of the hallway drawing his firearm and aimed for the door.

Le Démon et L'Hypnotiseur
Cina somberly tidied up her empty shop on that peculiar windswept day. A hypnotist with an attached apothecary wasn’t exactly in demand in the year 2009. People just weren’t interested in the mystical arts anymore; technology and science had become their new forte. No longer being a spring chicken, she was dismayed at the thought of turning fifty the subsequent week. Vitality and a youthful appearance never hurt in gaining customers. She sighed as she disposed of a jar of herbs that had been sitting on the shelf so long that they no longer emitted any scent, and were certain to no longer contain any beneficial properties. If business kept going like this, she would be forced to close her doors before long.

A Most Glorious Friday the 13th
Rain came down in silver sheets, slicing the morning like razors as Gloria pounded the pavement, her backpack thudding against her back with each desperate stride. The sky above boiled in grays, a yawning beast of thunder and menace, and the wind rose as if stirred by ancient breath. Her limbs ached, lungs flamed, but she could not be late. Not her first week back. Not now.

Dread Knights
The emblem sat quietly in her palm, but Bailey knew it was alive. She stared at the blood-red ruby in its face, waiting for it to jump or skitter away. Anything, that's all Bailey wanted to see. Things had been happening ever since she swiped it from the exhibit at the castle museum. Some of them had made her question the sanity she held dear.

The Queen Mary real horror story
In 1936 a ship was built named Queen Mary. This ship was built in England. And the amazing thing is that this ship was one of the most haunted ships in the world. It completed its last journey in 1967. But during World War 2, from 1940 to 1946, it was temporarily converted into a troop ship.

My Husband's Last Visit
My husband was such a wonderful man. The kind of man that would give any hitchhiker a ride. Even if they were sporting a two-headed ax and covered in blood, he'd say, "Honey, you can't judge a book by its cover, no matter how bad it looks." It was one of the things I always loved about him.

Phantom Island-"Origins"-37
Octavian had been walking through thick forest for several days now. Faith had told him this morning there were no more of the awesome ‘nest’ trees for him to stay in, and they’d have to start getting creative with his sleeping places.

Waltz of the Ozarks
Dawn’s golden light spilled across the broad meadow, illuminating drying grasses and brambles that had recently begun their autumn dormancy. Here and there, ideally-positioned dewdrops captured a passing beam and forcibly split it into its component colors, so that the vegetation seemed adorned with fantastical rainbow-hued gems. The mid-October air had its characteristic nip, but hadn’t yet acquired the deep chill that late-November’s bow season would bring. Somewhere in the distance, a fire smoldered in a woodstove or a hunter’s camp, lending its hardwood smoke scent to the breeze that it rode. Soon, the surrounding forest would come alive with the subdued sounds of a midwestern forest in autumn, the occasional caw of crows, rustling of dried leaves on forest floor as squirrels, rabbits, and gamebirds went about their daily business, but for now all was silence.

Do Not Enter
Some years ago two teenagers went urban exploring inside the abandoned apartments besides Runcorn's shopping centre. These buildings have stood untouched for almost 10 years and plans to refurbish them have come and gone like tears in the rain. The site is unsafe and there are many signs all over the place that state:
