Whispers of the Forgotten Manor
In the small, forgotten town of Ravenswood, nestled deep within the heart of the dense, foreboding woods, there stood an abandoned mansion, shrouded in mystery and whispered tales of malevolence. The townspeople avoided it like the plague, their hushed conversations laden with warnings and superstitions.

Horror to Culture
A friend of mine started a page devoted to horror. It’s a worthy project from someone I know who has both a depth of knowledge on and a genuine love for the subject, as do I; so, when Mike asked if I would like to contribute, I was grateful.

A Nightmare on Elm Street
My mother once told me she had a strange, unsettling dream one night, wherein we had packed our bags for a return home to the States (from the Central American military base we were living on currently). Ridiculously, we had on heavy winter coats, although it was burning up outside. Suddenly, said my mother, a figure loomed up in the concrete stairwell going down to the ground floor. It was a terrifying figure with a fedora hat.
