    The Resonance of the Hollowed Aches
    Jan 12 2026
    This collection of stories examines the fragility of human emotion when confronted with supernatural forces in isolated or uncanny settings.In one tale, a search-and-rescue mission becomes deadly when a malicious entity disguises itself as a lost child, preying on the rescuer’s empathy. Another follows a teenager who uncovers that a mimic has replaced their grandmother, forcing a desperate effort to free the real woman from a mirrored prison.A third story depicts a town transformed by a monstrous butterfly-like entity that feeds on emotional trauma, causing residents to physically unravel in a horrifying euphoria. A fourth explores a mysterious spiral staircase revealed by a drained lake, which claims only those who are emotionally fractured, exploiting their inner pain. Finally, a teacher confronts the truth behind his brother’s disappearance, discovering that his own suppressed guilt has manifested as a creature feeding on memories and regrets.Together, these narratives illustrate how grief, trauma, and the human instinct to help can be manipulated by predatory, otherworldly forces, turning virtue into vulnerability and innocence into peril.

  • The Ghost Ship's One Hundred Year Lure

    The Ghost Ship's One Hundred Year Lure
    Jan 10 2026
    The story follows the crew of the MV Red Saber, who respond to a century-old distress signal at sea. Their search leads them to the Bition, a merchant vessel from 1921 that has emerged from the fog, eerily preserved as if time had passed it by.Boarding the ship, the sailors quickly discover that its crew has been transformed into hostile, waterlogged monstrosities, lingering unnaturally for decades. The horrors escalate as the Red Saber’s crew witnesses the brutal deaths of their comrades, forcing the survivors to abandon the ship and flee into the open ocean.The narrative closes with a chilling insight: the sea itself seems to manipulate familiar voices, drawing rescuers toward the vessel and dooming them to a permanent, cursed existence aboard the ghostly ship. The story explores themes of isolation, predation, and the deceptive allure of the familiar in maritime horror.
