Ghost Road

Foxglove Lee

Sinopsis

When Margo’s car breaks down on a deserted gravel road, finding a cell signal isn’t the only thing on her mind. Sure it’s the middle of the night and she ought to be terrified of the dark woods surrounding them, but Margo is more concerned about her relationship. 

Lesbian Bed Death: Margo and her partner are waist-deep in it. If only life with Deanna were passionate and enthralling, like it had been with Mitch. Though they broke up years ago, she can’t stop thinking about her ruggedly handsome ex.

After starting yet another argument with Deanna, Margo marches into the isolated forest.  The last thing she expects to come upon is a campsite. And the last person she expects to find there is her ex-boyfriend. But a shadow figure haunts the camp, and it’s got its sights set on the pair. Will Margo make it out of the woods alive? Or is this forest even stranger than it seems?

Top 10 Short Stories The - The...

Nathaniel Hawthorne, Robert...

Short stories have always been a sort of instant access into an author’s brain, their soul and heart. A few pages can lift our lives into locations, people and experiences with a sweep of landscape, narration, feelings and emotions that is difficult to achieve elsewhere.

In this series we try to offer up tried and trusted ‘Top Tens’ across many different themes and authors. But any anthology will immediately throw up the questions – Why that story? Why that author?

The theme itself will form the boundaries for our stories which range from well-known classics, newly told, to stories that modern times have overlooked but perfectly exemplify the theme. Throughout the volume our authors whether of instant recognition or new to you are all leviathans of literature.

Some you may disagree with but they will get you thinking; about our choices and about those you would have made. If this volume takes you on a path to discover more of these miniature masterpieces then we have all gained something.

In this volume Horror and its evil intents try to burrow into our heads and cavort around as only demons, monsters, phantoms and ghosts can do. They probably have other partners and friends too. And you, sitting there all alone, and listening….. oh dear.

The Sphinx

Edgar Allan Poe

Title: The Sphinx 
Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
Original Publication: 1846 
Public Domain: Yes 
Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 75 
Description: 
The Sphinx is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s lesser-known yet profoundly unsettling tales — a dark meditation on memory, identity, and the uncanny persistence of the past. Poe crafts a story of a man confronted with a mysterious sphinx-like figure, whose cryptic riddles and ominous presence provoke both fascination and dread. 
Rather than relying on overt horror, Poe’s tale explores a psychological tension, blurring the line between reality and imagination. The sphinx becomes a symbol of enigma and inevitable truth, forcing the protagonist — and the reader — to confront hidden fears, obscure knowledge, and the haunting persistence of time. The story’s subtle terror lies in its atmosphere: a precise interplay of shadow, silence, and the inexorable pull of an unknowable intellect. 
Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance imbues Poe’s prose with a hypnotic cadence, heightening the story’s mysterious and claustrophobic ambiance while preserving its elegant, cerebral horror. 
Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting classic horror, The Sphinx exemplifies Poe’s mastery of psychological unease — a reminder that some of the most enduring horrors come not from monsters, but from enigmas that defy understanding.
