He was lying face down, and face up, all at once. I live in that house now. I am the village "fixer." And every night, I listen to the scratching beneath the floorboards. I don't fear the ones that crawl. I fear the ones that wait. Because now I know that the most terrifying thing in the world isn't death—it’s a corpse that refuses to close its eyes.

‎I let out a deep breath, clenched onto my throbbing chest and stepped forward. ‎ ‎Every step came with a icy chill. ‎The creepy cracking sound of rusty doors echoing from every angle. ‎Then came the wolf howls, and the chattering sound of owls. ‎I swallowed hard, my heart threatening to leap out of my chest. ‎This place was scary, even for a horror writer like myself. ‎I mean, I was certain it was some kind of a prank, but still my limbs trembled like spaghetti. ‎“Hello..."

Those were just stories, because in the blink of an eye, the gentle officer who just stood limp on the side, saying nothing but following orders, fell to the ground, holding his neck and jerking in pain as blood gushed out of his throat. The other one, the particular ‘I know everything’ one, trembles as the devil in my wardrobe grasps him and slowly steps out of the wardrobe, his eyes bloodshot and… soulless. He wasn’t like a living human being. His shadow swallows me as I look up at him like a god, taking steps backwards with shaky legs, until I reach the wall, having nowhere else to retreat to. My pupils can only dance around the scene, straight out of a horror movie… I’m fine, except for

I narrowed my eyes, trying to decipher the ancient, jagged writing that surrounded the drawing: "When the Moon bleeds, and the shadows grow long, the heart that beats no more shall find its beat. From the ashes of the ancient burial grounds, the Cold Ones shall arise. They are the hunger that never sleeps, the thirst that cannot be slaked. When the Blood Moon crowns the sky, the Undead shall claim the throne of the living, and the world shall drown in the red of their feast." Devon yawned tiredly behind me, stretching out on the bed. "Jimmie... will you put the book away and come to bed? Please? Come on, babe..."

George licked her skin and her wounds and turned around only to come face to face with a mirror, where he saw his monster staring back at him, while his victim paled and weakened in his arms. The overhead light added an intimate detail to the image. It shone light on the horror he had become, and worse on the crime he was about to commit if he kept sucking the last ounce of liquid red from the girl's frame. It was both horrific yet perfect and almost romantic, like a well-executed painting from a gothic novel. George removed his lips from the woman's neck and licked it with his tongue to seal the wound. The girl was now shivering, and her breathing was slow and almost non-existent. George dr

I could sense a certain melancholy in his demeanor, a bittersweet nostalgia that transcended the passage of time. "The horrors of that ominous night continue to haunt my thoughts. When I was still a human, I was but a young and innocent soul in a small village, nestled amid rolling hills and ancient forests. Unaware that our peaceful existence was on the verge of being shattered, we fell victim to the relentless onslaught of vampires. Vampires, driven by an insatiable hunger, descended upon us relentlessly. I watched in horror as friends and neighbors were forcibly taken from their homes, their anguished screams resonating through the night..." In the quiet aftermath of his haunting narrativ

The light went off suddenly, and fear grip me, I have never been scared of anything, but this sudden darkness had left me terrified, I try to find the reason the light went off suddenly, and with my hand outstretched, I find my way like a blind man but then I felt cold air visit my face and a shadow looming over me, with one swiped, my eyes came face to face with two pairs of eyes. My eyes race, seeing the pair of eyes, fear envelops me, his eyes were like fire, burning Spears, and his glares were bloody, I take a step back, and he takes a step closer to me. My back hit the wall, my heart was racing too fast and my wolf is about to jump off my skin and leave me to face this monster alone. "W

She walked to the whiteboard, picked up a marker, and wrote in large capital letters, the word IMMORTALITY. "I understand that next week you will be moving away from Shakespeare and jumping into Gothic horror literature ... just in time for Halloween." General interest spiked. Halloween was a favorite holiday for most students. Me? My life was already a nightmare. Who needed costumes when real monsters were already roaming our town? "By any chance, has anyone read The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde?" asked Mrs. Jackson. Students looked around at each other, but no one raised their hand. "How about Bram Stoker's Dracula?"

Liam asked, squeezing my hand. “Huh?” I had to crane my neck to accommodate our height difference. He tilted his head to the side. I faced the booth where he took me. ‘Horror House’ was written in cryptic scribble on top of the door adorned with thick cobwebs. A dude in a cape stood behind a podium. His hair slicked back, and his face was a cake of white powder glared at us with his burning red eyes. A trail of fake blood dribbled down the side of his mouth. He flashed us a cryptic smile.
