HorseNado
A huge tornado was forming on the east side of the U.S and it stretched from Mississippi to Maine. Kentucky was right in the middle of its path. Everything that was picked up in the storm was directed to the middle (Kentucky). The whole state of Kentucky was hit really hard by houses, cars, and other debris, but there was one thing that no one could have predicted would fly into Kentucky. It was about to be full on Armageddon.

Bloody Mary
We all know the story behind the infamous lady in the mirror. Well, at least one of the several variations of the stories that depict her demise, how she ended up being the center of slumber parties, how to invoke her, and what she does if you are indeed successful in conjuring her bloody, evil spirit.

The Children
They sounded like they were coming from a tunnel. Their voices echoed throughout my skull, bouncing off the edges of every bone. My heart raced as I looked around for where they were coming from. Over-and-over they said the same thing. Their laughter chilled my spine, and made my skin crawl.

'Before I Wake' Film Review: Why This Is NOT a Horror Film
Before I Wake is a 2016 supernatural drama film that was shelved for years before Netflix picked it up and released it on January 5th, 2018. The film has amazing performances by Kate Bosworth, Thomas Jane, and young actor Jacob Tremblay. It is about a young couple who recently lost their son and decide to adopt a little boy who has a peculiarly fascinating ability to make his dreams come to life—however, that also means his nightmares come to life as well.

The Magic of Sorte
That’s me, with my back to the camera. I was only eight at the time. I don’t even know where to begin, but I guess I should start by telling you about the time my mom went to Montaña de Sorte, in Yaracuy, Venezuela, with her two best friends. They had always been into weird, mystical stuff, and wanted to learn about Maria Lionza, so she visited the National Monument that is now the mountain where all the “magic” happens. Sorte is a strange place. It’s renowned around the world as a place where Santeria and witchcraft are practiced, as well as white and black magic. It’s a place unlike any other in my country. It’s sort of a state of its own, exempt from Venezuelan law, and ruled by the people that inhabit it, who are local witches and sorcerers who only let people in after consulting with their goddess, Maria Lionza.

The Curious Case of Emma Lee
It was a rainy day, the day that I met her. I remember the raindrops making their way down the shop windows as I walked along the sidewalk. I clutched my collar, holding it close to keep the precipitation out, and to keep the last vestiges of warmth inside my jacket. The jacket was old and worn, and it was already doing an unsatisfactory job keeping the rain at bay; I refused to carry an umbrella. My shoes splashed in the ever-growing menagerie of puddles, and I had to find some respite from the rain. I put my hand on the next handle I saw and pulled it open.

Hope
There, standing in his study with a fire throwing his shadow behind him onto a wooden plank floor beneath him, books in the stacks surrounding him, standing over a dark, wooden table like a sad bishop over an altar. Stately, silent, staring into the blackness of his cup of coffee that laid on the table. It seems to reflect a truth his eyes deny. Tulle Mason is his name, a man of sixty who has deep but sparse wrinkles that contour his face with deeply ash-filled, brown eyes. His hair is slicked back and holds reminders of his black past while also being sprinkled with this ever-graying future. Dressed in a three-piece black suit with a white vest and untied, gray bowtie.

Freedom
Jail bars broke open, allowing a tentacle to flow through and open the door. Alarms went off in the jail as the Guardians went to the broken cell door. They ran in to find it empty. As a door slammed behind them, a dark figure smiled at his success as he turned the lock. He vanished out of the jail and out onto the road.
