FICTION

 

As we approach the New Year we wanted to highlight a couple of fiendishly frightful yet festive and fun stories that will help you remember – Santa is one achingly small letter rearrangement away from a slightly more sinister fellow who also adores the color red.

Halloween has passed us by but that doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy our gathering of stories found below (keep scrolling, you know you are good at it!)


This year we have stories for you that embrace the spirit of Halloween like no other issue before it. Whether you are a fan of a little comedic relief or want to read a piece that is experimental and mind blowing, we’ve got it for you here. We offer traditional witchy stories as well as those that offer a painful and frightening perspective on lives cut short. And, while you’re at it, remember to copy the recipe for a meal that is sure to fill your belly on All Hallow’s Eve.

 

 

Happy Halloween!
