0 People brought the freak with October’s Top Scare Flash Fiction contest. Bravo to all participants. Here are a few of my favorite lines: Gina When I turned around I saw a pumpkin in front of my feet with the words “You’re Next” carved into its orange skin and the outline of a shadowy figure walking towards me. Alice “Pumpkin stew is best with young meat,” the third said as she pinched Jake’s arm. Joe Tatman As I sit on the ground in the cornfield with my knees drawn up to my chin and listening to the breeze whispering through the corn, I wonde[...]
The month of October is a special one! Besides the obvious Halloween answers, this month is the first month were rolling out the honor of Midnight Matron! What the heck is Midnight Matron? The Midnight Society's Midnight Matron is a member of the Midnight Society team. He or she is someone that goes above and beyond to contribute to the Midnight Society, to our readers, and embraces the wonders of macabre like no other. That's great but...what does this mean? The Midnight Matron get's to resign supreme over the following month. This means that our Octobe[...]

Eliza Morgan is desperate to escape the horrors of her mortal life and understand why death follows her, leaving only one man, Nicholas French, in its wake. He’s the one she loves, the one she resents, and the one fated to make her legendary among the Shinigami– an ancient order of vampires with a “heroic” duty to kill. He’s also decaying before her eyes, and it’s her fault. On the ghostlike mountaintop in Japan that the vampires consider home, Eliza will be guided by the all-powerful Master for her transition to Shinigami death god. When Eliza disc[...]
Pennsylvania, the state in which I call home, is known for its fall foliage and historic sites. Little do you know that it's also home to numerous haunted places. Over the next few months, I'm going to take you on a haunted tour of Pennsylvania. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Pennhurst State School and Hospital Originally knows as the Eastern Pennsylvania Institution for the Feeble Minded and Epileptic, Pennhurst was originally built to segregate and sterilize those with disabilities. Located in Spring City Pennsylvania, the doors first opened in 1908 to its first[...]
I was going to think of a fun title for this post, but honestly, doesn't the simple title grab your attention? Maybe you thought I was kidding when you decided to look at this post, but let me tell you straight up, this post is about exactly what I said it was. Zombie beauty pageants. I did not realize this was such a big thing, but it is, and there's probably one (at least somewhat) near you! They happen at conventions and as part of the intermission at plays (that happened at a community play in Wichita) and county fairs (hey Denver!). A great ongoing one is th[...]

World, meet The Great Horror Campout! What is The Great Horror Campout? According to the website, The Great Horror Campout (GHC) is a “choose your own adventure” overnight, interactive campin[...]
Are any of you doing Camp NaNoWriMo? Now, I know that Camp NaNoWriMo isn't completely horror related, but it just so happens that the novel I'm working on for Camp NaNoWriMo is a YA horror novel, titled Katherine In the Lighthouse. Because if there's one thing that I think the young adult and new adult writing community needs, it's horror. The novel I'm working on is for an idea I had a while ago. I started writing it and I quickly fell in love with the concept and the characters. And then I had one of those realizations that you dread as an author. That what I[...]
