If Dreams Had Teeth
I used to think dreams were soft places—fleeting, strange, and safe. They were clouds you could walk through, colors you couldn’t name, people you missed but didn’t recognize. But all of that changed the night I learned that dreams, if twisted just enough, could grow teeth. And sometimes… they bite.

The Night It Knocked Twice. AI-Generated.
The first knock came at 2:03 a.m. sharp. Three dull thuds against the front door — slow, steady, wrong. My dog didn’t bark. My parents didn’t stir. Only I sat up in bed, heart pounding like it knew something I didn’t.

The Last Goodbye
I never believed in ghosts, or the afterlife, or any of that “other side” nonsense. That kind of stuff was reserved for horror films and badly written paranormal books—at least, that’s what I thought until the night Lily texted me.

She Texted Me From Her Grave
They say grief plays tricks on your mind. At least, that’s what I believed when I got a message from Lily. Because Lily had been dead for two years.

The Offline Room
In the year 2025, there was almost no such thing as silence. Cars drove themselves. Smart homes whispered bedtime stories. Every room had a screen. Every screen had a voice. And every voice had an algorithm behind it.

The Mirror at the End of the Hall
Mara was thirteen when her grandmother died and left her the house at Black Hollow. It was a tall, crooked place at the edge of the woods, with dusty red curtains, peeling wallpaper, and a long hallway that stretched too far for such a small house. The villagers whispered that the house was cursed, but Mara's parents said it was just “old and creaky.” They only stayed there in summer.

Possessor is an Original Body Horror Film That Uses the Human Body Like an Actual Puppet
Possessor is one of the best horror films I watched last year. I was so surprised to learn that the iconic David Cronenberg’s own son, Brandon Cronenberg, was the one behind the creation of this film!

The House That Dreamed me
Before I ever took my first breath, the house had already imagined me. I don’t say that lightly. People talk about childhood homes with nostalgia—peeling wallpaper, creaky floorboards, the smell of wood smoke in winter—but this was different. The house didn’t just shelter me. It shaped me. And as I grew, I came to believe that it had always been waiting for me. Maybe even creating me.

The Last Call From Room 306
The walls of Room 306 were a pale green, the kind that looked dull even in the morning light. A rotary phone rested on the nightstand between two twin beds, its cord slightly tangled, receiver cradled tightly in place. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had been up since dawn. The Memphis sky was overcast, but the energy around the Lorraine Motel buzzed with purpose.
