But when I knocked on her door, there was no answer. “Novel?” I called out her name, but silence met me. Panic settled deep in my chest. Luckily, the door was unlocked. When I entered, the room was empty, and my heart hammered against my ribs, until I heard the water running in the bathroom. When I stepped inside, my breath caught in my throat. It was Novel. She looked lifeless, submerged beneath the water. Fear gripped me as I hauled her out. “Novel!” I barked. She opened her eyes, but they looked hollow, lifeless.

"I will kill all the members of your family if you do not offer yourself to me. I will bring you to the situation when you will intentionally come to me and plead to save your family members by offering yourself to me." Amara walked helpless towards the haunted mansion. She felt numb and lifeless for the happenings around her. The words of the sage begin to ring in her ears. "It will be the dark night without the moon, the onset of heavy storm and the shrill howls of dogs. There will be an unfathomable clamor present in the atmosphere, the unwelcoming cries of the eagles and the uproar of tumult yowls from everywhere around will be the indication to alert you it was the one and only day in y

“Were these any help, detective?” “I’m afraid not,” I said, defeated. I was in a bit of a daze after staring at projected newsprint on the dim screen. I leaned on the desk and looked around the building absentmindedly until my eyes finally settled on a small sign hanging on a table covered with a neat stack of books. “Warning: The Library is Not Responsible for Nightmares!” I read out loud, walking over to look at the books. Well-worn volumes with pink skulls grinning back at me from stickers on their spines. Dracula. Frankenstein. The Invisible Man.

It was a trap! I scrambled to my feet and ran for the door, but it wouldn’t budge, as if it had been welded shut. Then, the red bundle shook violently, and the cloth wrapped around it slipped away. The moment I saw what was inside, my entire body went numb with terror, because it was a human head! The severed head flew straight toward me and slammed against my skull. At the same time, strange footsteps echoed through the hallway outside. It came closer and closer, and when it finally stopped outside the door, I knew I was going to die.

He perfectly imagines the faces of the readers who are reading the current book, and the horror that is drawn unto their faces, knowing that the entire novel they are reading is true, happening in real life, but in some other dimension, as they live is a curse now. “Well then, shall I continue the game?” With the words that faded like a speck of dust unto the air and the feathered pen burns at its wake. He flips the pages of the book once more as the next verse was written and reads like the hunting darkness of a song that rings.

My other sisters are being dragged out by the remaining men. “Just go! They won’t hurt you. I’ll be okay by morning,” I call out to my sisters, trying to assure them. When I’m truly terrified of being alone down here. But I’d rather be alone in my misery- I brought this upon myself. I hear the dungeon door close, and my sisters’ cries and yells become more distant. However, there is a new set of footsteps making their way down toward the cells. Suddenly, my body begins buzzing with sparks and tingles even more. My nose becomes filled with the most mouth-watering scent of apple cider, cinnamon, and freshly burnt wood. I turn on my side and am met with the intense gaze of dark brown eyes.

The campsite suddenly filled with a repugnant smell, like rotting flesh. Nathan leaped forward just as the creatures burst from the shadows. They were tall and bulky, twice the height of Nathan, with dangling arms, wide hands, thin bony fingers, vicious claws, and protruded fangs shining with poison. It was like seeing a vampire experience death over and over again, unwilling to die. I stared in horror, a blood lust and anger evident in their faces. I lost my balance, collapsing in panic. Everything became a bur. Junto was flung aside by one of the beast's pale hands. Then it dove after the Shape Shifter with jaws the size of a bear trap.

I did not dare to turn around; his massive shadow was stretching across the walls by the faint light of the moon, like a monster preparing to swallow me. ​The beats of my small heart raced with his steps that were drawing closer. Driven by blind fear, I pushed the door of the large bedroom with all the small strength I possessed, entered, and then closed it behind me while trembling. ​I froze in my place, and my eyes widened in a terror that completely paralyzed my limbs. There, in the middle of the room, lay a corpse I did not know, drowning in blood. Death fills the place, and the sharp, metallic smell of blood chokes my breath. I approached with feeble steps, tears burning my cheeks; ther

A branch in its endless, gnarled roots. And then, the darkness fractured. Light. It was a flicker, a sudden flash of brightness that felt like fire on his skin. Ben’s eyes snapped open, and he gasped, pulling in air that tasted like ash. His body jerked with the instinct to flee, but there was nowhere to run. He was still on the cold ground, but the forest was no longer just an empty abyss. It was a labyrinth, a twisted landscape of trees with faces carved into their trunks, eyes staring out at him, watching, waiting.

The Hunger, The Last Vampire, Lilith's Dream BY WHITLEY STRIEBER Whitley Strieber's three vampire novels; the most famous is The Hunger. Strieber's idea was to imagine vampires as not supernatural, but simply as a different, stronger, nearly immortal species. Much more the standard horror view of vampires. Miriam Blaylock — played by Catherine Deneuve in the 1983 film — is truly rapacious. 19. Let The Right One In BY JOHN AJVIDE LINDQVIST A novel from Sweden with a young voracious vampire. Very much a horror story, but also a morality tale of what happens to the bullied child. The movie is exquisite, if terrifying.
