In my family, the wendigo is not spoken of as a myth, in fact, if we can help it, it isn't spoken of at all. For to even use the word is to invite things more horrible than you can imagine into the thoughts and into the home.
Instead of the word, we have the doll. A small, hideous, figurine that has lived on our mantlepiece for generations. As a child I was forbidden to touch that figurine. As an adult, I found out why.
The Wendigo Doll is a tale...

The first time I took revenge on Malcolm Peters I have to admit, I regretted it. Not that he didn't deserve it you understand. There was definitely justification for what I did, but somehow, it felt awkward staining, and wrong.
It wasn't even really about him or any concern for how my actions would have affected him. Rather, it was more about me, the way that taking those actions made me feel. That first time, the pleasure in revenge was momentary...

In the west, the 'genie' is a figure of fun. A pantomime character made of primary colours and cartoon features. An example, if ever there was one, of how the West tries to tame its terrors by laughing at them.
In the East, in Nusaybin, people do not laugh at such things.
Here the word 'djinn' is whispered in reverential hush. The things to which it refers are considered not only real, but dangerous. For in these places and to these people the djinn...

On the edge of Elderton, a town in the Canadian mountains, there is a forest, a forest, that at certain times of the month houses a thing that shouldn't exist. A thing that stalks through the trees looking for prey, prey that eventually it will find in town.
Down the mountainside, in the quiet of the town, the people huddle together. They bar their doors and board their windows, sitting silently and listening. Listening for the howl. The half-human...

I was going to say that it all started with a toothache, but that's not quite right. It really started the day before, with a decision. A stupid decision made with the sort of offhand nonchalance with which people like me make decisions about places like theirs. It was a bad decision, one that I regret to this day and one that I probably always will.
On the other hand, the decision to go to Greece in the first place had been a good one. Though of...

For most the date 12/02/2021 has no real significance. The fact that the number is a palindrome and an ambigram are interesting, but nothing more. For most.
For one historian, however, the date becomes an obsession. Popping over and over in strange tales from the past, each linked by the black-eyed speakers, the tales of resurrection and that awful, fabled, date.
At first, he believes he has stumbled across a strange historic quirk, a mystery to...

For most police officers, dealing with 'crackpots' is simply part of the job. The people who call up confessing to murders they couldn't have committed or which might never even have happened, the obsessives with nothing better to do than report non existent crimes or exaggerate run of the mill occurences into major events. As far as Tony is concerned Clark Dornan is one of these 'crackpots'.
For years Clark has been coming to the station with accusations...

The day the quarantine was announced, the only thing I could think of was mother. Yes, behind that, the memories crept closer, shadows and dark things, not forgotten but suppressed, the knot of fear in my belly that had been tied long ago, but more than that, more than anything, I thought of her.
In the fifty-six years since she arrived in Britain from Turkey, not once had she spent an entire day inside. In fact, it was rare to see her spend more...

It was the same day that I received my Ph.D. that my grandmother shattered everything I thought I knew.
In total, I had been studying for 7 years, beginning with zoology, and then transferring to straight biology, completing my masters a year later, and whilst taking up teaching duties at the university, completing my Ph.D. over the following years. By that point, I was an academic of some standing and the papers I had written had gained some attention...

When Leonard Merlode said 'no' to the military, he knew there would be consequences.
The technology he had developed, a suit that would allow the wearer to really 'feel' what was going on in a virtual environment, was a precious commodity. A commodity that could easily be misused if it fell into the wrong hands.
He could never have imagined, however, just how severely he would be punished for his decision, why the military would hire the man known...

The vial is carefully packed away and sent for testing. Despite the caution, nobody guesses the vial's true significance. Where it came from, what the liquid inside might be or how it is connected to the strange flyers that have appeared all over town, flyers bearing the image of a curious little goblin,...

As a long-term drug addict, Danny had hit some extremely low points in his life. What made this time different, however, was that when he hit rock bottom, someone was waiting to meet him there.
Someone who would offer Danny a huge sum of money, enough to pay for rehab and perhaps a second chance, if only he is willing to sell the only thing he had to offer.
Blood and Ink follow Danny's strange deal as seen through the eyes of his friend. It is a...

In prison, you hear a lot of stories. Whether they are from criminals trying to make themselves more intimidating or men sharing fragments of their pasts in an attempt to piece it all back together. Some of the stories are horrifying, some violent, but the ones that scare you the most are the ones that are true.
Like the one about Albert Pike, the mild-mannered prison librarian that, despite his age, everyone seems to fear. Or the one about the ouija...

Room 206 is a room with secrets. As always secrets bring questions. Why is the owner of the hotel meeting with known criminals? Why are the walls around that room four times as thick? What causes the strange sounds of scratching and shifting that seem to come from that room and why do some who enter, never seem to come out?
The answers to these questions lie behind the room's locked door, though of course there are some secrets that are best left...

What would you say if someone told you they had come face to face with God? That God, in physical form had told them the mysteries of the universe, the details of his divine plan. Would you want to know?
At The Ritzy, just off Oldham Street, there is such a man. The Ritzy itself is the kind of place that the wise avoid and the desperate always seem to find. A dive that calls itself a casino and which is really nothing more than a smoky, converted...
