The Swimming Pool
Clementine watched the sun swaying like a drunken dancer from the bottom of her parents' swimming pool. It was July: the slow, gold-colored time when the heat felt mean spirited, and the air felt thick with possibility. If she focused, she could hear the neighbor mowing his lawn. She could hear the drone of the cicadas and cars passing her parent's house on Magnolia Avenue, lent an almost otherworldly quality by the chlorinated water filling her ears. Clementine checked her watch. Seven minutes. She should have lost consciousness by now.

Dead Asleep
At 23, I moved out of my parents’ old house, finally on my own, free. Even though I was moving into a tiny studio apartment, the euphoria of escaping that oppressive house was liberating. The strange experiences and nightmares my sister Eva and I had painfully endured as children in that house faded into the past; after her funeral, I suspected it had something to do with those nightmares. I never wanted to go through that again.

An Adventure Through Hell
Emaciated arms covered by the tiniest bit of flesh capture me, holding me close to its decaying form. Gnarled and thin fingers pull my dark hair. Screams of anguish surround me, somehow reverberating from the empty chasm. I punch and watch as bits of grey flesh disintegrate into dust. Scratching at the caverns where its eyes should have been, I could only hope for an end to this hell. The sounds of torment continued, assaulting my ears with one tremendous roar.

Twisting Through the Doorways
A grand bronze-coloured staircase leads nowhere. It is adorned in dim and sensual lights, the golden glimmer of the chandelier adding elegance and richness to the room. This is the biggest room in the unknown home. A house made of multi-sized doors leading to multi-dimensional rooms. Some exist in daylight, some exist sideways against child-like postered walls.

The Haunting of Hill House. AI-Generated.
Alright, so let me tell you about this spooky old place called Hill House. It's one of those creepy mansions you see in horror movies, with dark corridors, mysterious noises, and a general vibe that screams "stay away." But, of course, people can't resist.

The Whispering Shadows of Blackwood Manor
**The Haunting of Blackwood Manor** --- As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long, eerie shadows over Blackwood Manor, Emily felt a chill run down her spine. She had inherited the sprawling, Victorian estate from a distant relative she had never met, and tonight was her first night alone in the house. The locals in the nearby village had warned her about the manor, spinning tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained occurrences, but Emily had dismissed their stories as mere superstition. Now, as darkness enveloped the house, she wasn’t so sure.

mystery horror
Ravenwood had always been a town shrouded in mystery. Nestled deep within the ancient forests of England, it was a place where whispers carried on the wind and shadows danced under the moonlight. The townsfolk knew better than to wander the woods after dark, for there were tales of spirits and strange creatures that roamed the night.

THREE REAL-LIFE MYSTICAL HORROR STORIES THAT HAPPENED IN THE WOODS.
**This happened about two years ago in the spring when it had already warmed up. We got tired of sitting in the parking lot and drinking beer, so we decided to gather and go somewhere. We thought about the place for quite a long time, about two weeks, but we finally decided. There was a suggestion to go to Lytkarina, to the Brides' Glade, a rather notorious place where people often die in car accidents. But back then, it hadn't yet become so heavily rumored, so we had no fears in mind. The long-awaited day came, and we set off around 2:00 pm. The road didn't please us at all; there were monuments almost every 10 meters, and everywhere were signs indicating a dangerous road section. We turned off the highway and found a nice clearing right in the middle of the forest. We spread out, and everything was more or less normal: guitar, alcohol, fun. When it got dark, we were still having fun. We didn't even notice how the fog surrounded us and decided to take a walk to the Brides' Glade.**

Horror to Culture, Antichrist Edition
This is my second article cross-referencing my collaboration with Micheal A. Dyer (a.k.a. MAD) on the Horror to Culture website, (here’s the first) where we explore the horticulture of horror—which is to say, the means by which the shadowy elements of the human psyche are redeemed through the cathartic art of exploration and adaptation.
