Blog & StoriesThe Pale Fist in the Green Glass
The first time I saw it, I was nine, not eleven. We were in the front yard of our new house in the arid outskirts of Vista Seca, a place...
Ghost stories from Misc
The Lantern Room
In the late eighties, my family traded the endless hum of the Chicago suburbs for a weathered farmhouse on the edge of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. It wasn’t the kind of...
The Man in the Nickel Glass
I turned fifty-three last spring, the same month the jacarandas bled purple along Cutter Lane, and I thought I was done being surprised by the dead. I’d spent a lifetime...
The Crossed Halos
The house on Thornapple Lane had a peculiar smell, a mix of old wood, dust, and something faintly sweet, like decaying flowers. My family had moved there when I was...
The Cartographer’s Folly
My grandfather, Elias, was a man driven by a grief he never named. After my grandmother, Clara, died giving birth to my father and his twin brother, Elias became a...
The Socket That Swallowed the Light
The first time my phone vanished, I blamed the clutter. My nightstand was a graveyard of half-read books, crumpled receipts, and a ceramic mug that had long ago surrendered its...
The Mannequin in the Window
Am I dead? The thought surfaced from a deep, dreamless sleep, but I couldn’t move to answer it. My body felt like concrete, my limbs heavy and useless, pinned to...
The Cold Recital
It was late November, and I was staying over at my friend Marcus’s place in the sleepy town of Red Bluff, California. His church, the First Reformed Fellowship, was holding...
The Lantern’s Debt
In the autumn of my eighteenth year, I thought I understood the dark. I had walked the back roads of Cinder Hollow at midnight, counted stars through the pines, and...
The Last House on Red Clay Road
My grandfather built the place before the war, when the only sounds were wind through the pines and the occasional cry of a loon on the marsh. He was a...
The Plank of Still Water
I woke with a start, my eyes snapping open in the pitch black. The first thing I noticed was the angle of my body—not lying flat, not sitting up, but...
The Stitch in the Static
The rain had been falling for three days straight, a gray curtain that blurred the edges of the world beyond my kitchen window. I was in the middle of washing...
The Granite Lullaby
The first time I noticed the cold spot, I was standing in the nursery we’d just painted a soft sage green. The room faced the backyard, where the old granite...
The Salt Flats Directive
In October 2016, I was driving across Nevada with my cousin Derek. We had spent a week in Las Vegas, but the neon glare had worn us thin, so we...
The Concrete Perimeter
The clock on the nightstand read 3:31 AM, a red digital smear against the dark. Mira had woken with a gasp, the image of her grandmother’s face still burned behind...
The Glass-Pane Visitor
I grew up in a small town in Batangas, where our house stood at the edge of a sugarcane field. The place had a peculiar rhythm: during the day, the...
The Weight of August
The fire took everything in late autumn, and I, Mara, found myself displaced to a small, peeling house on the edge of a town that seemed to have forgotten it...
The Weight of Unraveling
It was the summer I decided to leave the church, though I hadn’t told anyone yet. I was living in a tiny basement apartment in the industrial part of town,...
The Seventh Visitor
It was a Tuesday in late February, exactly four days before the annual Harvest Moon Festival. My wife, Elena, and I had just settled into our farmhouse on the edge...
The Mannequin in the Morgue
In the autumn of 2002, my sister Lena and I shared a cramped apartment in a converted funeral home. The building was old, with creaking floorboards and peeling wallpaper, but...
The Weeping Fig Tree
Dear reader, my English isn’t perfect, but I need to share what happened. I am a woman from Ankara, Turkey, now living in the Netherlands. My family still lives in...
The Index Finger
Lena’s thumbs hovered over the keyboard, the blue glow of her phone the only light in her tiny studio apartment. Her boyfriend, Marcus, had texted her at 6:47 AM, and...
The Weeping Statue of Marrow Falls
In the autumn of my seventeenth year, I was convinced that Elliot Ashford was the one. We had met online in a chatroom for obscure poetry, and our connection felt...
The Slick Black Sows of Sawmill Creek
The first time I saw it, I blamed the heat. We’d driven nine hours from the city to my grandmother’s farm near Sawmill Creek, a town that time had forgotten,...
