For Halloween, this week’s contributors take us through dark passageways, where there may (or may not) be ghosts and other supernatural beings.
In the short story “Infection” by Steven J. Bitz, a paranormal investigator and closet skeptic comes face to face with a truly terrifying experience.
Deborah H. Doolittle’s poem, “The Ghosts in the Mountain,” tells the story not of a haunting but of the ghostly clues to a forgery.
In a short story by Chris W. Martinez, “The Basement,” a college kegger goes terribly awry, thanks to a hidden horror.
In Marla Johnson’s short story, “The Huntsman,” the tables are turned on a werewolf, raising questions about who the real monster may be.
