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.
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. The werewolf follows normal horror werewolf rules (as opposed to paranormal werewolf rules), and the story has a lot of gore and tense moments in it.
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.
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.
Creature Feature Reviews: “Ankle Snatcher” by Grady Hendrix
I’m not that easily scared, but “Ankle Snatcher” genuinely freaked me out. The night I read it, I obeyed all the rules outlined about how not to get brutally killed by this monster that lives underneath the bed. It’s been a few days since then, and I am still overly cautious when I’m falling asleep.
Friday Fiction: The Cold Arrives
The seasons are changing. It will only get colder. Autumn, and all it brings, is here to stay. And, as we cross that threshold, a pair of mystical beings has a routine. It must happen each and every year.
Creature Feature Reviews: “The Pram” by Joe Hill
As odd as it is for a horror fan to say, “The Pram” is the first thing I’ve read by Joe Hill, the son of the most famous horror writer in the world, Stephen King. But, from what I’ve heard through the grapevine of criticism, they share a fair number of stylistic flourishes.
Friday Fiction: The Possibly Magical Bird (Part 3)
Timothy has one chance to make a wish. But is this “magic bird” even real, or just some robot playing a prank?
Friday Fiction: The Possibly Magical Bird (Part 2)
Last week, Timothy met a strange bird. But now we’ll get to find out what the bird wants from him.
