One click, and your mind forgets how to breathe.

Beneath a forgotten hatch in a sleepy town, 19-year-old Benny follows his smug friend John into an abandoned Cold War bunker—and discovers the Memory Machine: a faded, triangular-barreled device that can erase thoughts, locations, even the instinct to breathe. What starts as a prank demo (John wiping away all memory of the flashy new Vernarben Resort) spirals into horror when John rev...

A man’s late-night drive turns into a nightmare when a blood-soaked, seven-foot rat follows him home from the forest.

Driving home at 3:30 a.m. on a silent suburban road should have been routine for one exhausted man. But when something crawled out of the woods and into his headlights, his world veered straight into nightmare. What he saw wasn’t human—and it wasn’t any animal he could recognize. Standing seven feet tall, covered in ...

Trapped in a haunted gas-station bathroom on a deserted highway, a trucker discovers some reflections don’t want to let you leave.

Jake thought he’d seen it all on the road—lonely highways, empty diners, midnight storms—but nothing prepared him for the bathroom behind the gas station at Mile 93. A flickering light. A cracked mirror. A voice that hummed from the walls, whispering his name. When the air turns cold and your reflection ...

A Plastic Halloween Skeleton by Mak Ralston

We hung that cheap plastic skeleton in the oak tree every fall like we always did. It wasn’t special. Dollar store bones, fake glow-in-the-dark paint, plastic joints that clicked in the wind. The neighbors rolled their eyes. My mom said it was “tradition.” My dad used it to scare me in a way that somehow made me feel safer. And then he went to war and didn’t come home.
After that, Halloween...

I Am Halloween by Natron25

Halloween is supposed to be pretend. Costumes, candy, fake monsters. Kids laugh in rubber masks, parents stand on porches talking about work and weather, and everyone goes to bed thinking it was all harmless. That’s what the town believes. That’s what they need to believe.
But Halloween isn’t a game. Not here.
Something old lives under this neighborhood. Something that remembers when October 23rd was the onl...

Every Halloween, residents of Brookhaven hear three knocks at their doors — long after the trick-or-treaters are gone. They smell gun smoke and copper but never see anyone outside. The legend says it all started with three teens who went too far one Halloween night — and who still come back, year after year, to finish their game.

In a farmhouse in Tennessee, a family heard a voice in the dark that knew their names and their secrets. They called her the Bell Witch — a presence that scratched, mocked, and promised a death she finally kept.

Tonight, while the storm strokes the cellar window and the fire breathes low, I’ll tell you why the house never seemed empty again.

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
