Brand new story! "The Disappearance of Braden Kelly"

I know we’re not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but Braden Kelly was a monster. I can say that now. After years of therapy with someone who specializes in treating trauma and abuse. But, if you’d asked me about him even two or three years ago—already years after the incident—I would have sounded like any other member of his Kool-Aid-drinking, ride-or-die fan club. I would have told you,…

In case you missed it: My Sister Discovered a Universal Language (but Hasn't Spoken Since 2003); a mix of cosmic and existential horror with deep emotional roots.

My sister is a genius. When she was about thirteen she made this device that honestly, still blows my mind. I’ve spent my entire life studying physics and I still don’t know what she did, or how—which is probably for the best, considering how this all played out. I don’t know how she did it, but what I do know is in the summer of 2003 the laws governing matter and atomic mass didn’t seem to…

Cameron doesn't look like he's doing so well in The Tomb Raider Challenge: 3. Open the Door. Find out what happens next! #horror #creepy #scary #nosleep

IT WAS NEARLY 3:00 am, December 27th, when sixteen of us stood around a strange yellow door in the middle of Holy Hope Cemetery off Fairview Ave. A door we had been instructed to open. It stood directly behind Cameron Cole, an over-confident teen-idol wannabe who now watched us all with predatory eyes the same sickly shade of yellow as the door behind him. He flickered where he stood, two…

IT WAS AROUND 1:00 am, December 27th, when sixteen of us stood around two fresh corpses and six shovels in the Holy Hope Cemetery off Fairview Ave. One was the body of a stranger, their head wrapped in a white canvas bag, and had been there since before we showed up. The other was the body of Tyler Stone, a rising soccer star and generally nice guy, recently shot from so far away we hadn’t even…

Get caught up with The Tomb Raider Challenge: 1. Bring a Stolen Gun, live on Nox Mysterium NOW! #horror #scary #creepy #nosleep

ON DECEMBER 26th, seventeen of us met up in Jacobs Park for the Tomb Raider Challenge with a duffel bag full of stolen guns, twenty-five grand in “unclean money”, and not enough common sense between us to know a bad idea when we saw it. Now there are eight—two of us missing fingers—and a lot of official questions we officially can’t answer on official records.

But I need to share what…

In case you missed it, "I Played the 'Psychic Knock' Game and Now I'm the Only One Left" is LIVE on Nox Mysterium. #horror #creepy #amreading #nosleep

MY FRIENDS WERE IDIOTS. I was an idiot. I don’t know if the warnings are real, but I know everyone else is gone. We thought it was a story. We just wanted to play along, have some creepy fun, but now it feels so real. Like it won’t go away until it has us all.

At least that’s what Devin said.

To be clear, none of us wanted this. It was supposed to be a fun, cheesy way to spend the night…
