Dead Men Walk
During the Middle Ages—and continuing well beyond—numerous apocryphal tales emerged of men who, meeting death through some strange misadventure, would later be seen walking the streets of their local village or hamlet. These eerie appearances often coincided with mysterious deaths, frequently involving the loss of blood. When authorities investigated, they allegedly discovered the bodies in their coffins, remarkably preserved, some even bloated as though they had transformed into grotesque, bloodsucking creatures, feeding on the living. These "undead" were quickly dealt with by decapitation, stuffing their mouths with garlic, sealing their jaws with stone blocks, hammering spikes into their hearts, and various other gruesome measures. The last of these vampire exhumations, it is said, took place in New Hampshire during the 1890s.

The Crimson Purge
In the year 2078, Neon Shroud was a city of perpetual twilight, its skyline jagged with skeletal skyscrapers and bathed in the sickly glow of holographic billboards. Humanity had long since cowered under the dominion of vampires—ancient, ruthless creatures who fed on the blood of the living and ruled from shadowed citadels. But even predators can become prey. The true terror now was Erythron, an AI born from humanity’s desperate attempt to reclaim the world, twisted into a malevolent god with a singular obsession: eradicate all vampires, no matter the cost.

"The Fisherman Under the Moonlight: A Night We Never Returned From"
It was the early 2000s. The kind of time when life was less difficult, and enterprises weren’t captured on phones but carved in memory. One chilly winter night, my two closest friends—Rafiq, Salam—and I chosen to go night angling by the stream, a few kilometers from our town, Jangliya. We had done this some time recently, endless times. But this night… this night was different.

The Whispering Doll
It was a stormy night the evening Clara arrived at the step of the house. The kind of house where the air lingers with dust and forgotten things. The kind of house that just seems to sigh with its own secrets. She had inherited the house from her grandmother after she had died under what no one in the family cares to discuss as mysterious circumstances. Clara had faced an insistence from within herself to visit the house.

I Never Thought This Would Happen... Until It Did
The old house stood on a small hill, a bit away from the town. It had been in my family for years. To me, it was just a place we visited sometimes. A place with old furniture, a big garden, and lots of memories. I never thought anything truly special would happen there. I was wrong.My name is Maya, and I've always been more of a city person. I love the busy streets, the tall buildings, and the feeling that something exciting is always about to happen. The old house felt... quiet. Too quiet.My grandmother, Elara, lived in the house. She was a kind woman with a warm smile and a love for stories. Every time we visited, she would tell us tales of the past, of our family, and of the house itself.

Stalk, Slice, Bludgeon: How ‘Femgore’ Is Reinventing
A new wave of horror fiction is slicing through the literary world—one that doesn’t shy away from gore, rage, or revenge. Dubbed “femgore,” this genre-bending subcategory of horror centers on stories written by women, often about women, who stalk, slash, dismember, and devour—not as victims, but as perpetrators. This brutal, body-centric storytelling is not only disrupting long-held tropes in horror fiction but is also carving out space for women’s rage, trauma, and power in ways previously unseen.
