CARMAN'S CRYPT

There's something new at the bottom of the hollow. It's blind. It can't hear your voice. But it hunts the one thing you can't hide forever — the drum of a frightened heart.

When a sinkhole opens on her land, whatever climbs out of the dark can't see Ruthie Combs and doesn't care what she says. It hunts fear itself. Alone in the Ozarks with her six-year-old, she has to become the calmest thing it's ever met — andteach her...

Every room in the hotel has a ghost… except one.

Casa Esencia sits alone on the cliffs — a wedding venue that makes its money by being beautiful and just a little bit haunted. The staff talk about the dead like beloved relatives living upstairs. The bride who's always searching. The littlegirl chasing her ball. The boy who counts the stairs and always stops at six. None of them frighten anyone. That's part of the charm.

Every town has a story it won't tell. Cane Bend has a field.

The crops out there never fail. The wells never run dry. Nobody who lives in Cane Bend will tell you why — and nobody will say what happened to the girls who went missing, one almost every year, always the same handful of families, alwaysright around their eighteenth birthday.

Cass Hale has spent her whole life trying to solve it. She's the town's morbid girl, the one...

The women who come to Sun Society keep getting better. Smoother. Younger. And a lot hungrier.

Summer 1985. Dawn is twenty-two and working the desk at a new tanning salon in a dying strip mall. The pay is bad, the sessions are free, and the owner buys her bulbs froma supplier with no return address. Dawn notices everything that's wrong with the place — she just keeps deciding it's fine.

Verlie Pike has kept the house on Sorrel Bend Road since before the sweetgum tree got tall. She lets the light in every morning. She counts the six doors in the upstairs hall every afternoon. And she stays out of the kitchen after dark — because something else lives under this house, down in the crawl where the sun has never been, and it borrows voices to call children to the pantry door.

When the Skeen family moves in, Verlie...

Four ridersleave Sturgis on the last day of the rally and take a shortcut that isn't onany map. A blown tire strands them beside a sinkhole full of bones — and whenone of them reaches down and takes a souvenir, the road stops letting themleave. Every lap, the bones at the bottom get a little fresher.

A originalhorror story set in the Black Hills, where the land remembers exactly what itwas built to do.

After losing his wife in a devastating car crash, Marcus Hale returns home with nothing left to live for. Then, one rainy night, he hears the familiar click of paws across the kitchen floor.

Standing in the darkness is Buster... the faithful golden retriever Marcus buried thirty years ago.

The dog looks exactly the same. He never ages. He never sleeps. And he'll do anything to protect the boy who loved him.

When the people responsible...

The drought took Cormorant Lake down eleven feet. Then nineteen. Then a number they stopped putting on the news — because the water had finally dropped far enough to givethe drowned town of Harlow back. Everyone came to see the steeple. Nobody should have gone out onto the mud.

They're still down there, standing in the cut, facing the deep. And when one of them turns to look at you, it will know your name. It will know your fi...

The wind behind the old Granger place didn't howl. It talked.  

That was the thing nobody could explain, the thing that made grown men in Bellefontaine go quiet at the gas station and find somewhere else to look. Wind is supposed toroar, or moan, or rattle a screen door. The wind off those pines did something worse. It murmured. Long, low, patient — the cadence of a voice that has all the time in the world and only one th...

When Hannah and Eli bring their daughter home, they expect the ordinary terrors of new parenthood—the sleepless nights, the endless feedings, the bone-deep fear that they have no idea what they're doing. What they don't expect is the voice that comes through the baby monitor in the small hours, humming softly beneath the lullaby. A voice that is not Hannah's. A voice that knows the baby's name.

At first it keeps its distance, ...

For three weeks, Elliot slept better than he had in years. He'd stopped fighting the thing that jolted him awake at 3 a.m. every night and started welcoming it—sitting alone by candlelight in the dead, quiet hour our ancestors oncecalled the watch.  

Before electric light, people didn't sleep in one unbroken stretch. They slept twice, waking on purpose in the black middle of the night. They had prayers for that hour. They...

Some doors don't close all the way.

Tommy Walker was eight years old when his family moved to a farmhouse at the edge of silent woods — woods that sang. What lived inside that hollow oak had been feeding for decades, collecting children the way other things collect dust. Tommy and a girl named Lily got out. The tree burned. The voices stopped.

Mostly.

He still hears it. Twenty-three years later, he still hears it.

When a strange plant appears overnight in widow Maeve's garden, she tells herself it's just curiosity that keeps her from destroying it. But as the pale, bone-like stem grows impossibly fast and a circle of dead earth spreads around it, she realizes this thing isn't from any seed catalog. It's warm to the touch. It pulses. And it's feeding on something she can't see.
Written in the style of Dan O'Bannon (Alien), "The Flowering" ...
