    Dr. Beverly Scott is used to treating patients with bizarre neurological conditions, but when a woman is admitted seeing distorted, monstrous figures, she assumes it’s a rare case of Alice in Wonderland Syndrome.

  • The Unfinished Thread

    The Thread Beneath the Skin When Alina wakes to find a thin golden thread embedded beneath her skin, she thinks it’s a strange hallucination—or maybe a dream. But when she pulls at it, pain lashes through her veins as if something inside her resists. The next night, the thread returns, no longer a single strand but an intricate weave twisting through her fingers. The whispers follow. The deeper she pulls, the more she unravels—not just the thread, but something far worse. Shadows stretch where they shouldn't. Her reflection lingers when she moves. The stitches tighten around her body, threading through her bones and wrapping around her ribs. And the voices warn her: “Don’t pull.” But it’s too late. The weave has already begun. Perfect for fans of The Silent Companions, Caitlín R. Kiernan, and The Library at Mount Char, this eerie, skin-crawling horror short will leave you questioning: Are you still in control of your body? Or have you already been stitched in?

  • The Silent Strain

    This story isn’t just about a virus. It’s about the monsters who create them. The ones who decide who lives and who disappears into the void. Abbie is no hero—just a doctor who knows too much. And in this game of secrets, knowing too much is a death sentence. The virus wasn’t about power. It was about playing God. And if they succeeded, entire lineages would vanish as if they’d never existed. Will she escape? Or has she already been infected with something far worse? One thing was certain: If she didn’t get the truth out, no one would know until it was too late.
