Friday Fiction: I Saw Cubes (Part 2 of 3)
The cube is back, as it always was going to be. There are impossible things afoot in the second part of this story. Strange happenings that will change the course of our main character’s life.
It Came From The Archives! “The Hollow Places: Breezy Lovecraftian Horror”
I’d not read anything by T. Kingfisher before this novel, but given the grace of the prose, The Hollow Places will not be the last. She’s shown her sureness within both this subgenre and in the art of simply telling a good story.
Which Of The 6 Creature Feature Stories Was Best?
Starting worst and going toward best, this is a shorter but much more spoiler-heavy breakdown of these six spooky tales.
Friday Fiction: I Saw Cubes (Part 1 of 3)
So many stories start with something inexplicable happening. Something that seems impossible. In this case, that thing is a cube.
Book Review: I Found a Circus Tent in the Woods Behind My House
I Found a Circus Tent in the Woods Behind My House is a stark contrast to the first book in the “I Found Horror” series. It’s technically the second book, but was published first. I’m unsure of why it’s set up that way, except perhaps to give a better starting impression.
Halloween Fiction: The Halloween Decorations Looked At Me
As is our tradition around here, we’ve got an extra short story for you, delivered by me, your humble Fictionmonger. And written by our usual prolific scribe, Brandon Scott.
Creature Feature Reviews: “Big Bad” by Chandler Baker
“Big Bad” made for an interesting end to the Creature Feature collection. It’s the only story in it that fits within any of my preconceived expectations. It’s about a werewolf.

Creature Feature Reviews: “Best of Luck” by Jason Mott
“Best of Luck” is pulling as my favorite story in the collection. Although “Ankle Snatcher” is the only one that scared me, this one was the most fun to read. I actively wish there were more pages, that the story didn’t have to be over so soon.
Creature Feature Reviews: “In Bloom” by Paul Tremblay
“In Bloom” just kept missing. Each time the horror felt like it was going to build to something, each time I thought the concept was going to hit harder, it just failed to work.
Unspeakably Scary Things Issue #7
The open door of The Phobia Box filled my vision. The idea that I could fall into the damn thing occurred to me, and I stepped back from it.
Creature Feature Reviews: “It Waits In the Woods” by Josh Malerman
If there was an award for the most middle-of-the-road story in this collection, “It Waits in the Woods” would currently win.
