Algernon Blackwood: The Willows...

Algernon Blackwood

"The Willows" is one of Algernon Blackwood's best known and creepiest stories. Many say it is his best and scariest. American horror author H.P. Lovecraft considered it to be the finest supernatural tale in English literature. He wrote in his treatise "Supernatural Horror in Literature", "Here art and restraint in narrative reach their very highest development, and an impression of lasting poignancy is produced without a single strained passage or a single false note." "The Willows" is an example of early modern horror and is connected within the literary tradition of weird fiction. Is it scary? Yes, yes it is.

Confessions of a Gentleman Killer

Johnny Payne

The papers call me "the gentleman killer." I wrapped the throat of my first victim in the silk scarf with which I strangled her. That's what passes as a gentleman these days. I ask you: How do you reconcile a man who is capable of deep, tender love (because I've felt it), a man, who—by public standards—is a health reformer, assistant to the future British Prime Minister ,and the son-in-law of a wealthy industrialist, but who, when the moment overtakes him, kills women? I don't know what to make of it myself, but that's me. I've been told I have a philosopher's mind, that I'm ambitious and can do anything I set my mind to—but sometimes my sadomasochistic tendencies get the better of me. I don't venture judgement—on myself or anyone else. I'll leave that up to you. My name is Kilcairn, and these are my confessions.

Lyra R. Saenz

TIME AND DECAY ARE THE ONLY RESIDENTS HERE. 
When her boyfriend proposes a camping trip, Lily can’t help but wonder why he decided on Halloween weekend. Not that she believes the superstitions, but only fools go looking for ghosts in a deadzone. 
Determined to remain the voice of reason, Lily follows her friends into the woods. They may hope to find a few ghosts, but Lily knows better. Ghost stories, after all, are just that: Ghost Stories. They’ll be lucky to find a decent campsite at this rate. 
What they find instead is much more sinister.
