The Lantern Keeper’s Return
In the autumn of 2018, the last of my three terriers, a wiry scamp named Pippin, slipped away on a cold Tuesday morning. The vet said it was his heart,...
The Hollow Hum of Interstate 9
The summer I turned sixteen, my parents dragged my younger brother to my aunt’s anniversary party in the next county. I begged off, claiming a stomach ache and a mountain...
The Lantern in the Rain
The wet season arrived early that year, turning our gravel lane into a ribbon of mud that clung to our boots like a second skin. My father had taken a...
The Night the Windows Ran with Rain
It was a Tuesday when I started noticing the rain falling inside the attic. I live in a converted warehouse in the port district, where the windows are tall and...
The Runner in the Red Hall
The first time I saw it, I blamed the bourbon. A year ago, in the old farmhouse my grandfather left me, I was coming down the upstairs hallway with a...
The Hollow Stare
It was October when the calico kitten, Bramble, joined our home in the quiet coastal town of Dunmore. My older cat, a grey tabby named Miso, tolerated him with the...
The Last Broadcast
It was the autumn of 1998, and I was seventeen, a senior at Hollow Creek High, a school so small that the entire senior class could fit in one homeroom....
The Mannequin’s Gaze
I never expected to find a community that would believe me. After years of being told I was crazy, of being pitied and dismissed, I had given up on sharing...
The Stone Hare
I was thirty-one when I moved to the Isle of Man, seeking quiet after a decade of noise. My cottage sat at the edge of a misty glen, and the...
The Perished Companion
The old farmhouse on the edge of the moor had always been a bit too quiet for my liking. My husband, Elliot, had insisted it was a bargain, and with...
The Cold Pocket
My first semester at Meridian College, I landed in an interior dorm room, a converted storage closet with no windows. My roommate, Dana, and I called it ‘The Cave.’ We...
The Porcelain Visitor
It has been three years since my wife and I bought the old farmhouse on the edge of Thistlewood. The land had been abandoned for decades, and the house itself...
The Fifth Floor
Margaret had lived in the Langford Arms since the year the cherry trees along the boulevard first bloomed. The old building, with its creaking elevator and peeling wallpaper, had always...
The Window with No Glass
The rain fell like a curtain of needles, stitching the afternoon sky to the gray rooftops of the Marrow District. Inside the two-story flat, Elara sprawled across the threadbare loveseat,...
The Bitter Grey
I moved to the old Millbrook farmhouse in early autumn, hoping the isolation would help me write my thesis. The landlord had warned me about drafts and the occasional mouse,...
The Last Sunbeam
The summer I turned sixteen, my parents left me alone for a fortnight while they attended a distant cousin’s funeral in another state. Our farmhouse in the rural Midwest, with...
The Keeper of the Threshold
The dream came to me three nights after I buried Sable under the old oak. In it, I stood in a field of tall grass, and a small, bedraggled creature...
The Stile’s Passenger
My name is Daniel, and I’m from a small town in the Peak District, England. I’m 24 now, but I was 21 when this happened, about three years ago. I’d...
The Hairline Fracture
The first time I noticed the crack in the bathroom mirror, I blamed the temperature. Old house, steam from the shower, things expand and contract. It was a thin, hairline...
The Light at Beacon Point
It was my first year at Meridian University when I impulsively signed up for the Outback Exploration Society. Our chosen destination was Beacon Point, a peak that locals in the...
The Staircase That Counted
I was twelve the summer we moved into the old farmhouse on Hemlock Road. Nothing had ever felt wrong about the place until our collie, Rusty, was hit by a...
The Lantern in the Reeds
Marlowe was not our cat. He belonged to Mrs. Halsey at the end of the lane, a wisp of a woman who kept her curtains drawn and her garden overgrown....
The Ceramic Echo
It began not with a whisper, but with the soft click of ceramic against stone. I was settled into the worn armchair in my studio apartment, the only light the...
