Horror - Stories

Where Charles Wentworth is now, I do not know. I thought he was dead. It took decades to get over the heartbreak of his disappearance. And yet now that he has sent me a message, I feel not relief but horror… because, if my interpretation is true, then we are all in danger. The message in the sky is clear. Humanity may be about to go extinct.

Here I shall post my short stories (1,000 words up to around 10,000) and my flash stories (under 1,000 words).

Make of them what you will.

Working for a book publisher can be a frustrating task for JT, who is trying to promote some of his favorite works to his boss.

Beware of strangers....

Horror and ghost stories have always held a fascination for the LGBT reader, just look at the popularity of American Horror Story and the writing of Clive Barker and Anne Rice.

This collection will feature some of my LGBT horror and ghost stories. So, sit back and make sure all the lights are still on…

Welcome readers! This is normally where the story description goes. Therein lies my dilemma. To give an accurate description of the story is impossible without spoiling the entire story itself. So, here is what I can tell you. The story you are about to read is the story of a man, who was going about his regular life, when something very irregular happens.
