The first time I took revenge on Malcolm Peters I have to admit, I regretted it. Not that he didn't deserve it you understand. There was definitely justification for what I did, but somehow, it felt awkward staining, and wrong.
It wasn't even really about him or any concern for how my actions would have affected him. Rather, it was more about me, the way that taking those actions made me feel. That first time, the pleasure in revenge was momentary...

In my family, the wendigo is not spoken of as a myth, in fact, if we can help it, it isn't spoken of at all. For to even use the word is to invite things more horrible than you can imagine into the thoughts and into the home.
Instead of the word, we have the doll. A small, hideous, figurine that has lived on our mantlepiece for generations. As a child I was forbidden to touch that figurine. As an adult, I found out why.
The Wendigo Doll is a tale...

On the edge of Elderton, a town in the Canadian mountains, there is a forest, a forest, that at certain times of the month houses a thing that shouldn't exist. A thing that stalks through the trees looking for prey, prey that eventually it will find in town.
Down the mountainside, in the quiet of the town, the people huddle together. They bar their doors and board their windows, sitting silently and listening. Listening for the howl. The half-human...

In the west, the 'genie' is a figure of fun. A pantomime character made of primary colours and cartoon features. An example, if ever there was one, of how the West tries to tame its terrors by laughing at them.
In the East, in Nusaybin, people do not laugh at such things.
Here the word 'djinn' is whispered in reverential hush. The things to which it refers are considered not only real, but dangerous. For in these places and to these people the djinn...

For most the date 12/02/2021 has no real significance. The fact that the number is a palindrome and an ambigram are interesting, but nothing more. For most.
For one historian, however, the date becomes an obsession. Popping over and over in strange tales from the past, each linked by the black-eyed speakers, the tales of resurrection and that awful, fabled, date.
At first, he believes he has stumbled across a strange historic quirk, a mystery to...

I was going to say that it all started with a toothache, but that's not quite right. It really started the day before, with a decision. A stupid decision made with the sort of offhand nonchalance with which people like me make decisions about places like theirs. It was a bad decision, one that I regret to this day and one that I probably always will.
On the other hand, the decision to go to Greece in the first place had been a good one. Though of...

When a vial containing a strange liquid is sent to police headquarters, there is immediately some caution. Could this be poison? Some chemical attack? The vial is carefully packed away and sent for testing. Despite the caution, nobody guesses the vial's true significance. Where it came from, what the liquid inside might be or how it is connected to the strange flyers that have appeared all over town, flyers bearing the image of a curious little goblin,...

For most police officers, dealing with 'crackpots' is simply part of the job. The people who call up confessing to murders they couldn't have committed or which might never even have happened, the obsessives with nothing better to do than report non existent crimes or exaggerate run of the mill occurences into major events. As far as Tony is concerned Clark Dornan is one of these 'crackpots'.
For years Clark has been coming to the station with accusations...

When Leonard Merlode said 'no' to the military, he knew there would be consequences.
The technology he had developed, a suit that would allow the wearer to really 'feel' what was going on in a virtual environment, was a precious commodity. A commodity that could easily be misused if it fell into the wrong hands.
He could never have imagined, however, just how severely he would be punished for his decision, why the military would hire the man known...

It was the same day that I received my Ph.D. that my grandmother shattered everything I thought I knew.
In total, I had been studying for 7 years, beginning with zoology, and then transferring to straight biology, completing my masters a year later, and whilst taking up teaching duties at the university, completing my Ph.D. over the following years. By that point, I was an academic of some standing and the papers I had written had gained some attention...

Though they seem familiar and even comforting with their warm reminders of youth, the true roots of many fairy tales are sprouted from darker soil. The original versions of some of the tales are far more sinister than we imagine. Even those we know and love, when examined in the cold light of day, run with a malevolent undercurrent of violence, menace and terror.
Yet when we encounter someone who says they like fairy tales, we expect a certain type...

I've always believed the old maxim that truth is stranger than fiction. If you ever doubt the fact, then I urge you to spend more time around people, particularly the elderly and to make sure that you spend that time listening.
One of the best things about working in care, with the elderly, is the never ending procession of stories. It's a perk of a job. Lived experience is the best source for narratives and once you get to know those that you care...

Being a reporter for a local newspaper is a strange occupation. In essence, it's exactly the same as being a reporter for a major news organization. I mean the actual processes are the same. You find a story, you interview those involved or closest to the story and then you find a way to present the facts to the public in a factual and if possible, entertaining way. The practicalities of the task are the same. The difference is the stories. Most stories...

What would you say if someone told you they had come face to face with God? That God, in physical form had told them the mysteries of the universe, the details of his divine plan. Would you want to know?
At The Ritzy, just off Oldham Street, there is such a man. The Ritzy itself is the kind of place that the wise avoid and the desperate always seem to find. A dive that calls itself a casino and which is really nothing more than a smoky, converted...
