The Nightly Reaping: When Shadows Come for Our Souls
I was but fifteen years old when my father and I sought refuge in that ancient trailer nestled deep within the valley. It was a wretched place, barely functional, where the bathroom doubled as the kitchen, and there was no shower to speak of. In the winter, the pipes would freeze, and the tiny room we shared was scarcely warmed by a feeble space heater.

The Shadow of Adeline: A Journey Between Love, Death, and Memories That Never Die
The girl in the graveyard is your dearest companion, and thus, you bear her homeward. The night lies between you like a bruise, a stain of crimson in the window of the passenger seat—a hue akin to fruit left to fester and decay. Her fingers, cold and lifeless, fumble with the seatbelt—one, then two.

A Heart as Soft as Poisoned Sweetbread
My sister had always had a soft heart. Soft as candy. But sometimes softness is like a knife, slowly piercing without you noticing until it reaches the depths.

Nosferatu Movie Review
In 1922, Nosferatu created one of the first and most revered cinematic nightmares, pioneering many horror tropes that still exist today. Over a century after the silent era, a new rendition has arrived from Robert Eggers. Like all of his previous films, it’s a superb effort from top to bottom.

Predicted Nightmare
When the app Fate Sync was released, it took the world by storm. It promised to give users an unparalleled glimpse into their futures, offering predictions that were precise to the point of being unsettling. At first, it was a curiosity—a fun tool, something people used to spice up their lives, to see if they'd make it big or fall in love. But soon, it became an addiction.

Frankenstein Meets the Wolfman
Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man features more Wolf Man than Frankenstein lumbering about its stark, angular, boldly monochromatic, and well-dressed badass self—title notwithstanding. It boasts an all-star 1943 monster magazine cast: Bela Lugosi, Lon Chaney, Lionel Atwill, Dwight Frye, and Maria Ouspenskaya. The only notable absence is everyone's favorite monosyllabic shambler, William Henry "Boris Karloff" Pratt—or, as posterity knows him: KARLOFF.

The Haunted Inbox
Kara had never been one for superstitions. Growing up, she’d seen her mother avoid mirrors in the dark, heard tales of family members who refused to stay in the old house at the end of the street, but Kara always chalked it up to the kind of folklore you outgrow with age. She was practical, logical—until one night, when the first email arrived.

Ghidrah, the Three-Headed Monster
Toho Studios in Japan created the Godzilla franchise, which, much like the fictional, radiation-breathing behemoth that emerged from under the sea, conquered the world of cinematic schlock with tabletop Tokyos, toy cars, model ships, and guys in big, honking rubber monster suits, plus pterodactyl beasties flying on fishing lines. It's all great—if somewhat redundant—fun. (No one ever accused the Japanese of not repeating a successful formula once they discovered it reaped commercial dividends. Hence, the entire manga/anime genre does suffer somewhat from this curious "sameness." But it's all so much fun that it's a minor quibble.)
