[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and you can wake them if you say their name again. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. Nicknames become real names, and Meg knows she's getting better at identifying safe houses. Her crush discovers that Morse code, like writing, is a safe way to say a Sleeper's name. It's the night after learning it that Meg wakes up just as the nightly rain is starting. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

The house is safe. The hills outside are not. The basement is out of the question. Joel has been trapped in the house for what has felt like an eternity; all hope of escaping lost after the first few years. Without the company of the eight strangers who arrived with him, he would have gone mad long ago. But while living in the decrepit building is taxing, nothing could be worse than the thing downstairs. Everyone is content to just live in the six rooms that they know are safe until Joel learns that there may be something below. Something other than the creature that torments them. The house goes deeper, further down into the darkness. And while travelling through the unknown halls may be dangerous, and the thing downstairs is always following close behind, Joel is determined to find a way out of the nightmare he's found himself in; for his own sake, but more importantly, the sake of the people he loves.

You'll get a variety of short horror stories here. I'm not a writer so I have collected these stories from different sources. I hope you won't mind until you're enjoying reading them. ------------------------------------------------------ This book is the second part of my previous work 'Short horror stories'. Kind of a continuation. Hope you all enjoy.

DISCLAIMER : These stories are not my own. I'm merely sharing them. All authors shall be acknowledged. Just a selection of my favourite creepypasta stories. Some I find interesting, entertaining or particularly unsettling. All of the stories include lots of horror, blood and death. But then again, that's the beauty of creepypasta.

I love reading short horror stories so I thought I would write some myself! I hope you enjoy! ~all stories written by me although some where inspired from other ideas~ ~cover to this story is a photo taken by me~ ~read this at night if you're adventurous )~ ***Graphic DO NOT READ IF EASILY SCARED OR IF YOU GET SICK FROM BLOOD AND GORE ***

Urban legends tend to focus on a current fear or cultural phenomenon of the time. From the unbelievable to the possible, urban legends satisfy a human desire to find entertainment and thrills within one's deepest and darkest fears. Hello guys.My name is Suhani .Today there's gonna be horror. So,basically urban legend means that old horror stories people think was true. I don't believe in all this , but I still like to find more about it. If you want other legends,tell me by commenting.
