• December 03, 2025The Perfect Logic of Human Repurposing

Another recounts a deep-sea research crew encountering enigmatic, non-biological structures on the abyssal plain that observe and mimic them, culminating in a fatal boarding by an unknown entity. A third narrative explores a man grappling with a generational curse and demonic demands, leading to his parents’ tragic deaths. The fourth depicts a worker at a remote mine discovering that the lower shafts are alive and consuming the staff. Finally, a teenager becomes the victim of a meticulously orchestrated online predator scheme, which uses an entirely fabricated digital community to manipulate and murder his victims.

• December 03, 2025The Phrogger's Unwilling Inheritance

  A professional squatter, known as a "frogger," who secretly lives in others' homes for thrill and challenge. He targets a secluded, unnaturally fertile ranch in Utah, where a seemingly normal family engages in occult-like rituals. The narrator discovers a hidden basement and witnesses the family perform a grisly decapitation ritual on a pregnant woman to summon a powerful entity. When discovered by the creature, he is coerced into breaking a protective salt barrier to ensure his escape, only to be trapped by a final demand: to raise the entity’s monstrous newborn child. Ultimately, the narrator becomes imprisoned within the property’s invisible perimeter, forced into servitude as the creature’s offspring gradually transforms into a perfect human child.

  A desperate individual who invents the persona “Brother Elias” to pose as an exorcist for quick rent money.

• December 03, 2025Detective Hanley and the Rat King Murders

  A chilling horror narrative following Detective Hanley as he investigates two gruesome murders in the same apartment building. Both victims show no signs of forced entry or defensive wounds, but a horrifying pattern emerges: each crime scene features a bloody handprint on the ceiling, later identified as belonging to the first victim, revealing the killer is using her severed arm as a grotesque signature. During a stakeout, Hanley encounters the perpetrator—a towering, nightmarish creature formed from thousands of rats and stolen human limbs, often referred to as a "rat king." After a violent confrontation, the creature escapes through the ventilation system. The detective orders the building to be evacuated and fumigated, uncovering a massive rodent colony along with the victims’ remaining limbs. Though the case is officially ruled unresolved, Hanley believes the immediate threat has been eliminated.

• December 03, 2025Below Level Seven: The Walls That Breathe

  A chilling horror story about a desperate narrator who takes a high-paying but mysterious job at a remote, high-altitude mine known simply as “the dig.” The mine enforces a strict rule: no worker may enter the heavily sealed Level 7. Over time, the crew begins experiencing unsettling psychological effects and hearing unnatural sounds emanating from below. When an emergency forces them to use a service shaft, the crew is mysteriously rerouted directly through Level 7, where they discover the chamber is not stone but living, pulsing organic matter, with a missing coworker’s remains fused into the floor. The narrator narrowly escapes and is discharged, only to realize the radio instructions leading them there were deliberately falsified, suggesting an orchestrated trap. Haunted by the experience, he returns home plagued by trauma and discovers he is compelled nightly to dig massive holes in his yard—despite never actually having been hired for the job.

• December 03, 2025The Preserver's Gruesome Inheritance

  A narrator inheriting a remote Kentucky property and the secretive workshop of his recently deceased father, a taxidermist. He soon discovers that his father’s work involved creating grotesque, human-shaped figures designed to appease a local, ancient entity known as “the parent,” which punishes the town by causing children to disappear if the figures are not provided. After witnessing the consequences of failing the ritual, the narrator reluctantly assumes his role as the town’s new "preserver," supported—though uneasily—by the local community. Through his father’s journals, he learns the full horror: the figures must be “rooted in truth,” requiring the use of actual children as part of the ritual. The story concludes with the town delivering a young boy to the narrator, cementing his inheritance of this grim, sacrificial duty.
