The Mirror’s Yield
My cousin Delia and I were six, the summer our mothers worked the late shift at the cannery. We stayed with our great-aunt Morgana in her crumbling farmhouse outside of...
The Crossing Room
The moment I stepped through the front door of the farmhouse, I knew something was wrong. It wasn’t the peeling paint or the way the floorboards groaned under my boots,...
The Key in the Freezer
I was nineteen, working the closing shift at a 24-hour diner off the interstate, a place that smelled of old grease and burnt coffee. My shift lead was a wiry,...
The Hollow Night Concierge
At seventeen, Marcus had worked the night shift at the Melvin & Co. distribution hub for six months. It was a monotonous job, packing boxes of industrial lubricants and listening...
The Name Whispering Ghost
My story takes place in the Cumberland Mountains of Tennessee, about 60 or 70 miles from Chattanooga. The summer of 2008 was a really hard one for me, my boyfriend...
The Curtain at Noon
It had been eleven years since I’d moved into the top-floor unit of the Meridian Residences, a sprawling complex that promised modern comfort and, more importantly, a fresh start. The...
The Porcelain of the Unfinished Room
For most of my life, I’ve kept a mental scrapbook of things that don’t fit the world’s tidy explanations. There are maybe a dozen pages in that book, but one...
The Hollow Light of Hallway Nine
I was eight when we moved into the flat on Hallway Nine, a narrow corridor in a block that smelled of boiled cabbage and damp plaster. My mother called it...
The Last Light in Aisle Nine
My fourth semester of graduate school at Aldergate University had eaten away at my sense of time. I was in the library’s basement, the ‘crypt’ as we called it, because...

The first time I noticed it was the summer I turned twelve. My family had just moved to Hollow Creek, a town that seemed to exist in a perpetual state...
The Humming Void
Marta lived in a creaking old farmhouse in rural Kansas, miles from the nearest neighbor. The house had been in her family for generations, and she’d moved back after her...
The Unseen Weight of Oak Hollow
The cellar of Oak Hollow House was less a basement and more a stone-lined crypt, its two chambers divided by a sagging wooden door that never quite closed. The air...
The Pale Watcher of Hollow Creek
When we first laid eyes on Hollow Creek Manor, it was love at first sight. Nestled among ancient oaks and weeping willows, the dilapidated Victorian mansion exuded an eerie charm...
The Dandelion Debt
My father collected antique newspapers, and one rainy afternoon he showed me a yellowed page from an 1843 edition of the Larkspur Ledger. The headline read: ‘The Ellery Farm Slayings.’...
The Lamp That Flickered at 1:47
My old dog Buster had a habit that used to creep me out as a kid. Every night, when he padded from the kitchen to my parents’ bedroom, he would...
The Mulberry Mark
My name is Elara, and I’ve always been a bit strange. My older sister, Mira, was the one who opened my eyes to the paranormal. At first, I was terrified...
The Man in the Hall
It was late October when we moved into the old farmhouse on Hemlock Road. The previous owners had left in a hurry, and the place had a musty, forgotten smell...

In the autumn of 1998, when I was sixteen, my family took a trip to the remote village of San Cipriano in the highlands of Central America. My father had...

In the humid, labyrinthine corridors of the Oasis Residence, a condominium that hugged the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur, Maya found herself confined to the penthouse suite she shared with her...

The rain had stopped an hour ago, but the asphalt still gleamed under the pale moon like a ribbon of wet coal. Lola Remedios drove slowly, her knuckles white on...
