fiction
Horror fiction that delivers on its promise to scare, startle, frighten and unsettle. These stories are fake, but the shivers down your spine won't be.
Nightmares that Breathe. Content Warning.
Recently, Sasha Jones was assigned a client who had not slept in twelve days. This young man, Lucas Porter, looks dead on his feet. His eyes are bloodshot, his skin pale, and his hands tremble as he reaches to shake hers. She frowns, greeting him with a nod and motioning for him to sit in her office.

The Story Draft: "The Room Between the Walls"
We think we know our homes. We know every creak in the floorboards, every stain on the carpet, and the exact distance from the bed to the light switch. But have you ever measured the outside of your house and compared it to the inside? In 2026, the "Home-Scan" app made real estate easy. But for Elias, it didn't just map his living room. It found a void. A fifteen-square-foot space in the heart of his home that had no door, no windows, and—according to the floor plan—didn't exist.

The Phone Call at 3:17
Adil never believed in ghost stories. He considered them exaggerated tales people told to entertain themselves on dark nights. Living alone in a small apartment on the outskirts of the city, he enjoyed the silence. His routine was simple—work during the day, dinner at night, and sleep before midnight. Nothing unusual ever happened in his life, and he preferred it that way.

The Elevator That Takes You Somewhere Else
It was nearly midnight when Clara finally finished her work. The office building was silent, the hum of computers long gone, leaving only the faint buzz of fluorescent lights. She gathered her bag, rubbed her tired eyes, and headed toward the elevator.

The Mirror That Shows Your Death
It started with a bargain. Daniel wasn’t the kind of man who believed in curses or haunted antiques. He was practical, frugal, and always on the lookout for a good deal. So when he stumbled across an old mirror at a flea market—its frame tarnished silver, carved with strange swirling patterns—he didn’t hesitate. The vendor practically begged him to take it, muttering something about “bad luck” and “unwanted visions.” Daniel laughed it off. For twenty dollars, it was a steal.

“I Found a Hidden Camera in My Room… What It Recorded Was Worse Than I Thought”
I didn’t notice the camera at first. That’s the part that still haunts me the most—how easily it blended into my life, how naturally I accepted everything around me as safe. My apartment was small, a one-bedroom on the third floor of an aging building. Nothing fancy, but it was mine. I had lived there for almost a year, long enough to feel comfortable leaving dishes in the sink overnight and walking barefoot without thinking twice.
