  • The Baby's Pram
    Jan 13 2026

    Send us a text

    This week we present a story by author Quincey Lee, “The Baby’s Pram.” It’s always delightful to see a sweet baby’s face smiling up from its carrier. However, in this story one glimpse inside the pram sends everyone running away, screaming their heads off. The “evil child” trope is one of the most successful in literature and film. We'll look at an excellent article on the subject by author Bryan W. Alaspa.

  • The Best Teacher at Pleasant Hill Oak Elementary
    Dec 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Our story, “The Best Teacher at Pleasant Hill Oak Elementary,” by Anica Mrose Rissi, is a tale of an unusual teacher. One who inspires her students but has a dark secret. The teacher in the story is indeed unusual, and I wondered if there were any tales about ghostly teachers out there.…apparently not. At least I couldn’t find any stories. However, haunted elementary schools are in abundance. We'll look at three.

  • The Old Black Hat
    Dec 16 2025

    Send us a text

    Our story, by author Gary Raisor, is perfect for this time of year. “The Old Black Hat” is a different take on a Christmas Icon. It’s a delightful “what if “story that offers up some dark holiday humor. Not so humorous are some of the beasties that make their appearance around the world during winter. We'll look at a few.

    Very carefully...
