  The Needle's Eye

  Once, there were three sons… When Elizabeth, Delia and Emily were children, their grandfather told them a story about an island castle called the Needle’s Eye—home to a lord and his three sons—which could be seen from the coast of their small village. The castle has since been hidden by a mysterious and constant fog that looms over the water, but his story speaks of nine girls who rowed out to the castle on Needle’s Eye Island. None of them returned, and the lord’s family was never heard from again. 
  Years later, following their grandfather’s death, the last ties that bind the three sisters to the village—and each other—seem to be breaking. Elizabeth is set to marry, Emily fears being left alone, and Delia is content to be bitter forever. A careless mistake on the water leads their boat to be swallowed by the forbidden fog, and when they emerge from that cloud, the girls discover that the island castle they’d dreamed of is not a myth. 
  The mere innocence of a curious glimpse becomes a fight for survival when the girls are cursed by the lord’s ghostly sons. The sisters learn firsthand what happened to the nine girls who never returned home, and their choice quickly becomes apparent: they can play the games of the three soulless men, or they can give in to death, never to see one another again. 
  --The Needle’s Eye is a horror story, a mystery, and a dark romance. It is a bloody and brutal fairy tale, meant to explore the consequences of falling for a villain.--

  The Horla

  This chilling tale of one man's descent into madness was published shortly before the author was institutionalized for insanity, and so The Horla has inevitably been seen as informed by Guy de Maupassant's mental illness. While such speculation is murky, it is clear that de Maupassant—hailed alongside Chekhov as father of the short story—was at the peak of his powers in this innovative precursor of first-person psychological fiction. Indeed, he worked for years on The Horla's themes and form, first drafting it as "Letter from a Madman," then telling it from a doctor's point of view, before finally releasing the terrified protagonist to speak for himself in its devastating final version.

  "Marlowe! Here! Now!" screamed Lando King the editor and owner of the Newspaper where Jim Marlowe worked as a reporter. 
  "Sounds like you got Lando really angry, said his friend Lance Alexander, who also worked there. 
  "Yeah," Jim said and rushed off to their boss's office to see Lando. 
  Jim timidly opened Lando's office door and walked scaredly into the room. 
  "Marlowe what took you so long to get here, did you come here via Tasmania?" shouted Lando. Jim grimaced nervously. 
  "No sir," said Jim, thinking it must have been the article he wrote for yesterday's paper. 
  It was.  
  "How dare you try to put such idealistic tripe in my paper," shouted Lando, throwing a pile of papers at Jim. They were the article he submitted for editing and the notes on it. 
  "It wasn't tripe, Sir, it was the truth," Jim shouted back. 
  It was his second mistake talking back to Lando the control freak. 
  "The Earth does go round the Sun it's scientific a fact!" the livid Jim shouted. 
  "You precocious upstart," said the skeptical Lando, "get out of my newspaper!" shouted Lando. 
  "See you tomorrow, Mr. King, when you have calmed down a bit," said Jim. 
  "No you are fired, never stain my floors and paper again," shouted a furious Lando. 
  "No you can't fire me I quit," shouted Jim.
