Months after "The First Encounter," 7-year-old Max meets Terrence - the lonely kid in the big house with the rock garden.

Then the dreams start. Every night. Same blood. Same garden. Same old man in the window trying to warn him.

Some call it premonition. Some call it lucid dreaming. Jonas Cole calls it a debt.

“so that you understand I was once a competent man.”

My neighbor Necar was beautiful. But she hid a dark secret. And that secret would change my life forever.

One late evening she was outside my closed patio door, hands on the glass. And her shadow on my floor didn't look human at all.

I am Dawkins Turnbull. This is my story.

The Neighbor — A first-person folk horror story written by M. Dionne Ward.

He walked the same path every day. Same time. Same distance. Easy to find.

In a small Midwestern college town, a routine walk is interrupted by a man in a beat-up station wagon with a strange request: "Can I use your phone?"

PHONE is a story about what happens when you say no — and what happens when others said yes.

At fourteen, Maximillian Swaine returns to find a bookstore that shouldn't exist.

Paxton's Books and Periodicals in Webster Groves, MO is bigger inside than out. It doesn't move. It doesn't age. It is held together by a man named Johnson Colyer, who has been waiting for Max since he was seven.

Max's power repels. Johnson's power holds.

Max wants to tear a hole through reality to see what the gods see. Johnson knows what happens when you give a god a door to walk through.

And Parnissa Jackson, the girl who left Centerville alive, has already opened one.

A story by M. Dionne Ward.

Cathedral Road had a lot of ghosts. But Jensen's Kitchen had something worse.

Every kid in the neighborhood knew about the pool table, the penny cookies, and Mama Jen's temper. Only Max knew what happened to Parnissa there.

Decades later, something is still using people to get his attention. And it remembers his name.

Parnissa's Revenge is a story about wolves and sheep, about what gets taken from you when you see too much, and about an old entity called Aletheia.

THE FALSE GENERAL

General Lyon has always been lucky. Luck like the devil.

For Michael, the accountant who’s watched him for years, that luck looks like other people’s ruined lives — foreclosures, evictions, numbers that never quite add up. Especially when it happens to family.

One cold night outside Lyon’s townhouse, Michael decides to finally do something about it.

He opens the door. The house does not open back.

Behind that ordinary door is a cavern that shouldn’t exist. An altar that has been waiting. And a yellow sign Michael has seen before — hanging above his aunt’s fireplace.

Some doors are heavy for a reason.

A two-part eldritch horror story.
