Monsters and horror go hand in hand; explore horrific creatures, beasts and hairy scaries like Freddy Krueger, Frankenstein and far beyond.

Night Swim
Raina walked towards the shore. Her feet were heavy, eyes groggy, toes and head felt numb. It was like her whole body was asleep. Her hair vibrated at the touch. Too many whiteclaws, cans scattered about the sand like wasted shells, illuminating in the moonlight like curdled cream. Z was walking about, in an intoxicated, half-hyped, half-asleep mood. “You feel the ocean, have you gone in yet guys?” Z proclaimed. His laissez faire attitude coupled with the drinks created recklessness. The campfire grown since their arrival at dusk was still alive and roaring.

Like Hearts, Like Souls
She didn't trust a single one of these people, and she could tell they didn't trust her. They'd only banded together to make it through the city forest in one piece, but she'd be surprised if they made it with their lives. Even though they couldn't see them, she could sense the creatures lurking around every shadowy corner, patiently waiting.

Luna and The Chairman
Sunlight glares off the windows of huge buildings in the valley. Luna stands atop the concrete expanse of a former parking garage, surveying the closest structure. It must have been a hotel with a conference center once, judging from the size and style; a quick cross-check of territory notes confirms it.

Wendigo
“The unidentified animals which appeared to originate from northern Wisconsin, have now been spotted all over the country and parts of Canada. Remain cautious when outside, and avoid wooded areas at all costs; there are thousands dead from encounters with these animals and they herd around forests. Although they do travel and have been spotted in cities. Researchers have yet to study the creatures, and no photographs of them have surfaced. The national guard may be brought into places most affected, researchers are working on medications that protect the infected. Though progress is slow because there is not much information on these creatures. However, what we do know is they are gray humanoids, between 7 and 8 feet tall, and extremely thin. Reports from cases where a person suffered a scratch or bite say they become pale and sickly, and soon they start to attack and eat whoever is nearby. Again, we warn against-”

Out of the Wilderness
“Don’t even think about it!” Grace yelled to Chloe. They were exploring the Strip, a grassy park area that formed the perimeter of the city. It was the only place to have fun, and it was so massive, there was always something new to find.

The Bone Fairy
Everyone has heard of the ‘Tooth Fairy’. Whenever you would lose a tooth when you were younger and so you would place it under your pillow and eagerly await the dollar you would find under your pillow the next morning, only to be disappointed that when you found out that the Tooth Fairy gave your rich friend more money than you. But at least the tooth fairy works on the system of give and take. She takes your lost tooth and in exchange she gives you some money. The Bone Fairy doesn’t work like this, however. The Bone Fairy just takes.

Live at Five
Live at Five a Trail of Blood and Gore ... In the back part of the park. The part where there was no trail. The full moon shined through the trees in dusty shafts to an agonized figure below. Logan screamed out in pain as human features faded and wolf like ones became more pronounced. There was a canine snout, with wolf like ears, a tail and huge padded wolf feet, vicious claws and teeth. A howl in the park let all those foolish enough to be there after hours know, that tonight that might have been a bad idea.

Light After Death
I called to her through the darkness and the shadow and the void and on and on, and what I got back was beyond horror. I called to my daughter, once young and free, suddenly shrouded in a blackness that extended further than sight. Things echoed back from the void. Angry, confused, frightened things. All that was visible was a black fog of confusion. But there was a light toward the end of what I could only perceive to be the horizon. A mile, maybe two.

Lesser No More
The crunching of small stones filled Ajax’s ears as his arm quivered to hold his lantern steady, his eyes struggling to pierce the wilderness around him. It was a cold night, his multiple layers of clothing providing no comfort from the biting winds. The men around him provided no comfort, already used to what this job entailed.

Under the Moon
The wolf sat, his dark brown eyes boring into her. His tail lazily flicked back and forth. Despite the lack of lip movement, she felt as if he was smiling. He was smiling the way a predator smiles to its prey before the end comes.

The Househelp
Mrs. Robert Jackson picked up a shiny, golden delicious apple. She frowned upon seeing a dark spot, set it back, and instead looked towards the granny smith. Mr. Robert Jackson preferred tart apples, but she intended to make a pie. Her preference for pies was a mix: ½ honey crisp and ¼ golden delicious, with her “secret” addition of pear. She smiled, pleased with her purpose. This was a gift to Robert for the locket he gave her: a heart, with a red hardened stone that filled the locket space. It was peculiar, yes, but Robert was allowed his odd taste in gifts.

What the Heart Wants
The crumbling of stone, the rustling of the wind whipping the dust of what once was, is the all the can be heard for miles. At least, that’s what most people wish to believe.
