Horror Stories At Sea - Scary...

Joseph Conrad, Guy de...

Being on a ship is usually very safe.  The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable.  A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world.  Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm.  But worse?  No, not really possible, is it? 
 
In this volume our authors beg to differ.  They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be.  Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.

Something Followed Me Home

Harper Hollow

A casual estate sale spirals into a psychological nightmare when a haunting mimics reality with terrifying precision.
 
Unfolding like a breathless late-night confession, this story blurs the line between stress-induced paranoia and supernatural threat. The narrative voice is disarmingly funny and skeptical, grounding the claustrophobic dread of being home alone while footsteps echo in empty rooms and the feeling of being watched becomes undeniable.
 
Small discrepancies begin to fracture the safety of daily routine. Electronics glitch with impossible sounds, pets growl at vacant corners, and reflections lag a split-second behind. The entity doesn't just haunt the space; it learns, mimics, and invades, turning the sanctuary of an apartment into a suffocating trap.
 
What you will experience in this contemporary horror:
 A chillingly intimate, "found footage" style narrative voice.
 Psychological gaslighting clashing with paranormal activity.
  Escalating domestic horror involving mirrors and mimicry.
  A genre-bending twist that forces you to replay every scene.
 
As the search for answers points back to the beginning, a devastating realization waits in the dark. The true horror isn't what you bring back from the outside world, but the dormant terror you have been carrying inside you all along.
