“The Mirror Room” — Sequel to “The Last House on Ash Hollow” The town of Ash Hollow didn’t talk about Mara. Not anymore. Her disappearance was chalked up to teenage recklessness, just like Eli’s. Two siblings lost to the same cursed house. The mansion was boarded up again, but every Halloween, someone heard the lullaby. This year, it was Quinn’s turn. Quinn was Mara’s best friend. She never believed the stories—until she saw Mara’s face in her dreams. Pale. Smiling. Whispering: “Find me.” Armed with a crowbar and a pendant Mara once gave her, Quinn broke into the mansion on…

Every Halloween, the kids of Ash Hollow dared each other to knock on the door of the last house on the lane—a crumbling Victorian mansion swallowed by ivy and shadow. No one lived there, not since the Hollow family vanished fifty years ago. No lights, no sounds, just a rusted gate and a mailbox stuffed with yellowed letters. But this year, seventeen-year-old Mara wasn’t just knocking. She was going in. Her brother, Eli, had disappeared the night before. His phone pinged its last location from inside the mansion. Mara stepped through the gate, flashlight trembling in her hand. The air…

Expecting a rock, he unearthed a rusted iron box sealed with chains and etched in symbols that pulsed faintly in the shade. Against every instinct, he pried it open. Inside was no…

By Nick Grossmann Psychic Fever We all run on an electric charge from our brains to our spines and nerve systems. I have been a medium for as long as I can think. I remember watching these spirits as a kid. I slept with the cover over my head from the age of 13 to the age of 22. Yes it sounds funny. I am an adult man with a blanket over his head. If you had seen what I saw, maybe you would have covered your head. Oh and that fear of your feet being pulled? Try the covers…

By Kadrolsha Ona Carole Shadows of Bias: Racial Prejudice in Horror Films The horror genre has long served as a mirror to society’s deepest fears—but sometimes, that mirror reflects more than just ghosts and monsters. It reveals uncomfortable truths about race, representation, and the legacy of prejudice embedded in cinematic storytelling. A History of Marginalization From the earliest days of Hollywood, racial minorities—particularly Black characters—have often been relegated to peripheral roles in horror films. For much of the 20th century, they were cast as expendable victims, comic relief, or villains, rarely given the depth or heroism afforded to white protagonists.…

By Kadrolsha Ona Carole The trees creaked overhead like an ancient cathedral groaning in its sleep. Twelve-year-old Mason wasn’t sure when the trail had vanished—maybe after the third ravine, maybe after he’d tried to shortcut through the brambles. All he knew now was that the sunlight had faded into bruised twilight, and the forest around him was getting too quiet. His breath came fast, and he gripped his flashlight like a weapon.
