Blog & StoriesThe Last of the Moth-Dry Boxes
I was twelve when we moved to the Flats, a wide, wind-scoured basin east of the Continental Divide, where the sky pressed down like a slab of slate and the...
Ghost stories from Apparitions
The Hollow Click
The apartment complex on Sycamore Lane was a gray monolith of concrete and glass, and Minh, a night-shift data analyst, had grown accustomed to its sterile hum. His world shrank...
The Man Who Smelled of Oranges
My grandmother, Abuela Elena, had come to stay with us for the summer, all the way from her little village in the mountains of Oaxaca. She was a tiny woman...
The Ceiling of Ash
The first thing I noticed about the apartment at 15 Marrow Lane was the smell—a faint, sweet odor like overripe fruit left in a hot car. My roommate, Ellis, called...
Making His Presence Felt
It was the 31st of October, 2006. Out of boredom, I sent my friend an SMS asking if I can sleep over at her place. She agreed and off I...
The Salt Road Watcher
When my family relocated to the outskirts of Marrow Hollow, I expected silence and solitude, not the oppressive stillness that clung to our newly built prefab home. The house itself...
The Stained Floorboard
I was six when we moved into the old farmhouse on the edge of Pella, Iowa. My parents thought the creaking floors and peeling wallpaper had character, but I knew...
The Cold Typewriter
I never believed in ghosts until I moved into the old farmhouse on Hemlock Road. The place had been empty for years, and the realtor just gave me a nervous...
The Carpet’s Constellations
The night air in my inherited flat above the old map shop carried the scent of aged paper and dust that never quite settled. I had been cataloging the previous...
The Boy in the Garden
My family moved into the old farmhouse when I was twelve, and my mother, a painter, was thrilled by the overgrown garden and the way the light slanted through the...
The Yellow Ledger
I was in my final semester at the University of Oaxaca, buried in a mountain of dusty tomes and half-finished theses. My shared apartment near the Santo Domingo church was...
The Lullaby of Static
Elliot hadn’t slept well in weeks. The new apartment, a cramped studio in a converted warehouse, was supposed to be a fresh start after his breakup, but the old building...
The Long Hair at the Foot of the Bed
After his father sold the old funeral parlor on Summit Avenue, my partner Marcus and I rented a modest apartment in the quieter part of Duluth. We’d been there for...
The Lantern’s Debt
The old fisherman’s cottage on the cliff above Dunmore Bay had been in my family for three generations. I’d come there to escape the city, to find some quiet after...
The Lantern Man
My name is Elara, and I moved to the small town of Ashwick six months ago, looking for a quiet place to write my thesis. The town was picturesque, with...
The Gravel Lot and the Girl with the Gardenia
I was twelve the summer we moved to my grandmother’s house in the middle of nowhere, a place where the nearest neighbor was a half-mile down a gravel road that...
The Stitch in the Wall
The old Victorian house on Bramblewick Lane had always creaked and groaned, but that night, the sounds were different. Lena, a night-shift nurse who had just moved in, couldn’t sleep....
The Curl of the Cistern
Every Saturday, Mira woke before dawn to tame her stubbornly straight hair. The apartment’s only mirror that wasn’t fogged or cracked hung in the laundry room, above a chipped porcelain...
The Midnight Kitchen of Cedar Hollow
My childhood home sat on the edge of Cedar Hollow, a town so small it didn’t appear on most maps. The house itself was a relic, built in the 1870s...
The Lantern Keeper
My buddy Jake and I decided to hunt for bluegill on the old dredge pond outside of Millbrook, a place known for its overgrown banks and the kind of quiet...
The Mannequin’s Quilt
Mara had always felt a peculiar unease in the old farmhouse, but she chalked it up to the creaking bones of a house built before the Civil War. The previous...
The Iron Chime of Saint Elara
The incident with the shadow in the hallway and the tapping that followed had left me shaken, but I’d managed to convince myself it was just the old house settling....
The Weight of Still Air
The years after the trip to New Mexico were, on the surface, serene. I’d come home with a sunburn and a heart full of desert light, and the rhythms of...
The Still Water Pact
The summer of 2009 had been a scorcher, and the only relief was the community pool behind the old grain mill. I was there with my cousin Dax, his little...
