Blog & StoriesThe Cartographer’s Last Parish
The town of Grayhaven was built on a lie. Not the kind of lie that gets told in courtrooms or over dinner tables, but a lie carved into the very...
Ghost stories from Kentucky
The Tenant in the Hall
We moved into the Ashford Arms three years ago, after my husband, Daniel, got a job at the mill. The building was old, with creaking radiators and peeling paint, but...
The Farther Boy
I’ve told this story to a lot of people, but almost no one believes me. Even my parents insist it was a bad dream, but I know what I saw....
The Last Crayon
My earliest clear memory is of my third birthday, when I received a box of 64 crayons. I was so proud of that box, with its sharpener in the back,...
The Vines of Hollow Creek
The old orchard behind Hollow Creek had been abandoned for decades, but I knew every twisted branch and fallen fence post. My grandmother used to take me there when I...
The Gravel and the Growl
In the sweltering summer of 2009, I sat on the sagging porch of my rented farmhouse, a sweating glass of iced tea in one hand and my orange tabby, Marmalade,...
The Flickering Hallway
We had just moved into the old farmhouse on the edge of the county, drawn by the cheap rent and the promise of wide-open spaces. The place was a labyrinth...
The Hairline Fracture
The first time I saw the woman in the stairwell, she was a smear of static, like a television channel that didn’t exist. I was seventeen, working the evening shift...
The Latch That Wouldn’t Hold
As a child, I never understood why my family chose that house on the edge of the marsh. It was a sprawling, crumbling Victorian that had seen better decades, its...
The Weight of the Unseen
It was the last Friday of the school year, and the air in the gymnasium was thick with the scent of sweat and cheap perfume. Our class had just returned...
The Fifth Bedroom
My wife’s family had a habit of gathering at her grandmother’s place for holidays, but this was just a weekend visit. The house was a modest split-level in a rural...
The Man in the Rain
The first time I saw him, I was eleven, standing at the window of our third-floor apartment, watching the rain streak the glass. He stood under the streetlamp across the...
Strange Sounds in the House
Lila and her husband, Tom, were preparing for a family outing when they heard a soft voice call out to them from the hallway. They exchanged puzzled glances, but there...
The Picture on the Wall
When my daughter was six, we lived in a small house near the woods. She would often tell us about a tall man who stood in the hallway, just watching....
The Grinning Basin
The first time I noticed something off was the day we moved into the cul-de-sac at the edge of town. The houses were all alike, beige and boxy, with lawns...
The Hollow Greeting
The old farmhouse on Cedar Lane had a way of holding sounds long after they should have faded. When Marisol and her husband, Evan, first moved in, they chalked up...
The Wall That Opened
I was eleven when we moved into the old farmhouse on the edge of Lark’s Hollow. It was a rambling, two-story place with peeling paint and a porch that sagged...
The Man in the Static
It was the first semester of my junior year at Blackwood University, a campus that looked like it had been plucked from a Victorian novel and dropped into the middle...
The Cold That Bites
It started the day after I found that old board game in my grandmother’s attic. Not the creepy kind with a planchette and letters, but a battered Monopoly set with...
The Last Ring of the Telephone
The day my sister Elara died, the world went silent. She had been a dancer, her body a vessel of grace and motion, until the car accident on Route 9...
The Unseen Tug of the Docks
The salt spray always clung to the air in Port Blossom, a perpetual dampness that seeped into the very timbers of the old houses. Elias sat at his desk, the...
The Glass That Answered
Six months ago, I was still a kid in many ways, though at sixteen I thought I knew everything. My best friend Mara, seventeen and bold as brass, lived in...
The Unseen Hand in the Garden
It was a quiet afternoon and I was alone in the house. My mother had asked me to watch the garden from the kitchen window while she was away. My...
The Last Morning Light
I was twenty-six when my husband, Alan, and I moved into the old farmhouse on Mistletoe Lane. The house sprawled like a tired giant, its bones creaking with the weight...
