Blog & StoriesThe Cage on the Counter
I should write this down before the details blur. My memory has been playing tricks on me lately—names slipping, faces fading—but this, this is burned into my mind, perhaps because...
Ghost stories from South Africa
The Quiet After
I never believed in ghosts, not really. My grandmother talked about them like they were old neighbors, but I figured they were just her way of keeping the dark at...
The Cinder Veil
My mother, Elena, has always lived with one foot in the world beyond. She claims to see the shimmer of spirits in the corners of rooms, to hear the distant...
The Frosted Window
The old farmhouse sat hunched at the edge of the marsh, its weather-beaten clapboards the color of bruised plums. I’d rented it for the summer with two friends, needing a...
The Loom in the Crawlspace
The first time I saw the thread, I was twelve, crouched in the damp crawlspace under our new house, hunting for a lost cat. The beam of my flashlight caught...
The Chiffonier’s Pact
The morning we moved into the old farmhouse on the edge of Willow Creek, the air smelled of damp wood and honeysuckle. The place had been a bargain, far below...
The Weight of a Visitor
My grandmother on my mother’s side was known in our small coastal town as the woman who could see the tide beneath the tide. She had the sight, they said,...
The Green Ribbon at the Old Mill
I remember the day the clock in the village square stopped. It was the summer I turned twelve, and the heat had wrapped itself around our small town like a...
The Locksmith’s Third Night
Three nights after old Tomas Voss died, the keyhole in my front door began to weep. At first it was a single drop of moisture, cool against my fingertip when...
The Painted Guest
It was the summer I turned nineteen, and I needed to escape the suffocating quiet of my parents’ house. My friend Marcus had invited me to stay at his family’s...
The Last Stop on the Orange River Road
The summer of 1947 was a furnace that pressed down on the vast emptiness of the Karoo. My grandfather, Elias, and his friend, Daniël, were driving from the dusty diamond...
The Lantern Man’s Hour
The night the furnace coughed its last breath, I knew the cold would be our true enemy. It was late autumn in the copper-mining settlement of Girdlestone, a place so...
The Glass Eater’s Garden
The first time I saw the new neighbor, Harold, he was swallowing a light bulb. I was pruning the rose bushes, the ones my husband, Richard, insisted on planting even...
The Root Cellar Child
The Hollis family lived at the end of Dead Man’s Curve, a gravel road that wound up into the piney woods of the Appalachian foothills. Their farm was a patchwork...
The Visitor in the House
My husband, Daniel, had taken a post in Singapore, and we agreed I’d stay behind in the Canadian Prairies with our two huskies, Nova and Koda, until the housing market...
The Hollow Offering
I’ve always prided myself on being a rational man. Ghosts, faeries, goblins—these were the stuff of childhood tales and superstitious nonsense. So when I moved to the remote village of...
The Unquiet Hearth
The old farmhouse in the Smoky Mountains had been in our family for generations. After my grandmother, Mabel, passed away in 2019, my brother Leo and I decided to move...
The Hollowed Wardrobe
In the autumn of 1984, my wife Elaine and I finally moved into our own place on the outskirts of a small Pennsylvania town. It was a modest bungalow, freshly...
The Tether of Silk and Static
The summer I turned twelve, my great-aunt from Vancouver sent me a parcel wrapped in brown paper and twine. Inside, nestled in a bed of crumpled tissue, was a doll....
The Bone-Garden Rapture
My name is Elena, and I’ve never told anyone about the weekend I spent at the Marek Funeral Home. My best friend from college, Mira, had invited me to her...
The Lantern in the Root Cellar
I was raised in my grandmother’s farmhouse on the vast, wheat-swept plains of the Nebraska panhandle. My childhood was a patchwork of golden afternoons and the deep, earthy smell of...
The Kitchen Sink Drips
Elena had always trusted her instincts. They had kept her safe in the crowded streets of Lisbon and through the labyrinthine corridors of her own mind. So when her brother...
The Hollow Nursery Tune
The day the silence broke in our flat on Alder Street, I was halfway through threading an Ethernet cable behind the radiator. My sister, Mira, was on her knees by...
The Wreath of Salt and Bone
The Saltmarsh Cutoff was a thin ribbon of asphalt that curved through the marshlands like a scar. It wasn’t on any map, at least not the official ones, but the...
