Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.
Burn the Witch
The house at the end of the cul-de-sac wasn’t a place of magic; it was a rotting blemish of crumbling limestone and damp half-timbering. It slumped tiredly against the city wall, as if trying to melt into the shadows of the battlements. There lived the widow—a woman whose sole remaining sin was that she had simply outlived her usefulness to anyone.

The Signal From Tomorrow. AI-Generated.
The signal arrived at 2:46 AM. Dr. Adrian Cole had been staring at the monitors for hours inside the silent control room of the Orion Deep Space Observatory. Most nights were uneventful—just endless waves of cosmic noise drifting through space.

The Telling Bone
Introduction This was kicked off by Catweazle's name for the telephone. Catweazle was a medieval sorcerer who ended up in modern times (the nineteen seventies). The full episode is all over Youtube and most of my readers might not even recognise what he is holding as a landline telephone handset.

The Rain That Brought Johnny
Cassie had always believed that her life would remain simple and predictable. She lived in the quiet little town of Greendale where nothing unusual ever happened. Every morning she walked to school, every afternoon she worked at the small bookstore on Maple Street, and every evening she sat beside the fireplace reading novels.
