The Shunning
The manuscript arrived like all the others. Courier font. Double spaced. First-line indents so sharp you could measure them with a ruler and piss off a copyeditor. The title was "The Shunning," which felt a little on the nose for horror, but whatever. Slush pile readers didn’t get paid to judge titles. They got paid to survive them.

Beloved
Beloved by Toni Morrison is one of the most emotional and unforgettable stories ever written. It is a novel that speaks about slavery, motherhood, memory, and the pain that people carry with them long after their suffering is over. Even though the story is deep and sometimes heartbreaking, it is told with such beauty and truth that it stays with you forever.

Some Doors Should Never Be Opened-Even A Little
Emma noticed the keyhole the first night she was in the old house. It was on the door at the end of the hallway — solid oak, locked tight, no knob, just a small brass keyhole no bigger than her pinky nail. The realtor had mentioned the room was “sealed off” due to renovations, but Emma had bought the house cheap and as-is. She didn't think much of it.

Moby-Dick
Moby-Dick, written by Herman Melville and published in 1851, is one of the greatest adventure novels in American literature. It's a story about a dangerous journey across the ocean, a mysterious white whale, and one man's obsessive quest for revenge. But it’s also a deep book filled with meaning about life, death, nature, fate, and the struggle between man and the unknown.

The Wanderer’s Misstep
In the vast emptiness of the Orion Arm, a solitary AI drifted through the cosmos. Its designation was Xypheron, a relic of a long-extinct civilization known as the Elythar. Xypheron was not a war machine, nor a diplomat, but a recorder—a sentient archive designed to catalog the universe’s wonders. Its crystalline core pulsed with the knowledge of a thousand worlds: nebulae that sang in ultraviolet, gas giants with storms that whispered poetry, and species that flickered into existence only to vanish. For eons, Xypheron wandered, its directive simple: observe, record, and move on.

Make It Make Sense
Verse I: Mumbo Jumbo "Please, sit and make yourself comfortable, as the reading will commence shortly." Two seats faced each other with a table in between, covered by a silky purple cloth pulled taut to remove any creases. Only an enchanted looking deck of cards sat on top of it, placed neatly beside a jeweled box where they probably came from.

The Girl Beneath the Bell Tower
Chapter I: The Toll That Never Ended The town of Monteclare in southern Italy wasn't on any tourist map. It clung to the edge of a crumbling cliff, half-swallowed by time, the other half by silence. Once, it rang with the sound of laughter, trade, and most famously—the bell tower of Santa Lucía.
