Blood Pumpkin
"What in the hell are those?" Clarence had gone to Reggy's Veggies to buy seeds, just as he had every year since Reggy had opened. David Decker probably bought his seeds here, too, Clarence reflected. It was part of the reason Clarence kept coming back. The fact that Reggy was a friend since boyhood and Clarence taking his business to the new feed store up the road would hurt him was secondary.

La Patasola of South American Folklore
"I'm more than the siren I live alone in the world: and no one can resist me because I am the Patasola. On the road, at home, on the mountain and the river, in the air and in the clouds all that exists is mine." — López, Javier Ocampo from Mitos, Leyendas Y Relatos Colombianos

Monsters of Elishire
Moonlight rippled unnaturally on the lake as the car rounded the curve to the final stretch of dirt road before we reached the township of Elishire. I appreciated the ride–I knew I would have gotten lost in these twisting country backroads. I already longed for the lights and traffic and pavement of my city.

50 Famous Horror Legends (Part 3)
Night Hag She huddled in bed, remembering the bad horror movie she had watched earlier tonight. The strange, burned killer with the knives for fingers would haunt her dreams, she was certain. He was horrible and comical at the same time. But he was really scary, and she knew she probably should have just skipped that particular flick. After all, the killer had haunted the dreams of the doomed young teenagers, and she, herself, often had disturbing dreams.

The Headless Corpse
Once, in Wukiang, there was a young student of literature. He was an aspiring teacher, in charge of students from the Tsiang family (who must, we assume have had some prominence), and so had many duties, and worked long days. It was during a particular season that he took a holiday to "sweep out the ancestral tombs."He told his wife one morning, "Prepare my lunch for me as I have much to do today and will be famished by the time I should get in! " Then he left for the day, and his wife went about doing the thing he had commanded.

Grandma Saw a Dead Man Once
My grandmother and I have been roommates for about a year now. That probably sounds pretty weird for a twenty-three-year-old to say, but I have to say that it's been a great arrangement.

Take Care
Running, running, inhale, exhale. I can't understand exactly why, but there is this gut-wrenching feeling that I have to get away. I don't know what will happen if I stop, but I am not too keen to find out. The city is bustling with Saturday night chaos in secret corners where adults fill the void with cheap highs and sleazy vices.

Reed Alexander's Horror Review of 'Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark' (2019)
What do I say about this movie? It wasn't bad. Actually, it was quite clever but some how it was also really bland. I don't know, maybe it's because it was yet another PG-13 horror movie, which always manages to hamper the movie by castrating the good stuff. Maybe it's because it was based on a children's book and it was bound to be kinda soft. I think maybe they wanted to introduce this to a younger audience but in a way that still appealed to the adults that remember it. I don't know, like I said, it was clever but it just didn't impress me.

The Little Black Bird
“Shoo, demon bird, get off of me!” I yelled and swatted. A bird with glowing red eyes had started following me a few weeks ago, every day its visits were a little more frequent. Today was the worst so far, no matter where I went it wouldn’t leave me alone.

The Mythical Creature Of The Woods
“Eamon, help! Please Eamon, we really need your help.” This message, or yell for help was broadcast straight into my mind. There’s only one person who has the magical ability to talk to another’s mind, but only if that person is also magical, in some form or another.

The Face in the Wall
Terry’s day started with the previous shift dragging Inmate Harrison from his cell. The two officers, old pros at this, had him cuffed up and held under each arm, the yard Sergeant coming behind as he manfully attempted to hold the inmates kicking legs. Sergeant Leeman wasn’t a small guy, somewhere between a bodybuilder and a sideshow strong man, and even he was having trouble keeping a hold of the struggling inmate. Harrison was six and a half feet tall and most of it was ankles and elbow. As they took him out, he was screaming loud enough to shake the cobwebs in the rafters.
