  Our greatest fears are of the unknown.  Usually we think those fears are in front of us…or behind us.  But perhaps the human body itself holds the greatest horror.  What happens after death?  Do our bodies have a new existence either in whole…..or part?  Will others seek to claim them and do unspeakable things?  We don’t know.  But our authors do. And they have the talents and wits to make these diabolical stories vehicles for horror, for terror, for the unimaginable….

  Driving home late one night, Etain Larkin finds a corpse on a pitch-black country road deep in the Irish countryside. She takes the corpse to a remote farmhouse. So begins a night of unspeakable horror that will take her to the very brink of sanity. 
   
   
   
  She will never speak of it again. 
   
   
   
  Two decades later, Betty Fitzpatrick, newly arrived at college in Dublin, has already fallen in love with the drama society, and the beautiful but troubled Ashling Mallen. As their relationship blossoms, Ashling goes to great lengths to keep Betty away from her family, especially her alcoholic mother, Etain. 
   
   
   
  Gradually, Betty learns her lover's terrifying family history, and Ashling's secret obsession. Ashling has become convinced that the horrors inflicted on her family are connected to a seemingly innocent children's TV show. Everyone in Ireland watched this show in their youth, but Ash soon discovers that no one remembers it quite the same way. And only Ashling seems to remember its star: a small black goat puppet who lives in a box and only comes out if you don't behave. They say he's never come out. 
   
   
   
  Almost never. 
   
   
   
  When the door between the known and unknown opens, it can never close again.

  Sand

  Sand by Algernon Blackwood is a chilling work of early supernatural fiction that transforms the vast silence of the desert into a living nightmare. When a group of travelers ventures into an isolated, sun-scorched landscape, they begin to sense an unseen presence lurking beneath the endless dunes—something ancient, intelligent, and profoundly hostile to human life. As the desert tightens its grip, ordinary reality erodes, replaced by mounting dread and the terrifying suggestion that the sand itself is watching. 
  Blending psychological tension with cosmic horror, Blackwood masterfully evokes fear through atmosphere rather than spectacle. The story explores humanity’s insignificance when confronted with primordial forces beyond comprehension, using the desert as both setting and antagonist. Sparse, relentless, and deeply unsettling, Sand stands as a landmark of weird fiction and an essential read for fans of H.P. Lovecraft, Arthur Machen, and classic supernatural horror.

  Stories From The Shadows – The...

  An author’s talents may seem obvious and indisputable as they move words and ideas into gathered phrases and stories.  
  But where do these ideas and stories come from?  A lonely thought that suddenly gathers form?  An inspiration from a Muse?  A suggestion from an everyday event? 
  Perhaps in the case of their darker, more malevolent stories, other forces are at work.  They help to nourish single words into sentences and paragraphs that ease themselves from the shadows and are suddenly upon us in twisted revelation that may thrill, may disturb, but will always engage and help us explore the edge of darkness where some of the very best literature patiently lurks …. waiting …. for the likes of me and you.
