Welcome to the Dinoverse... Here, the past has clawed its way back into the present. Reptilian behemoths once thought to have vanished sixty-six million years ago now roam in the shadows, their thunderous footsteps shaking the leaves of forests as humanity stands small and fragile as titans of scale and tooth reclaim the kingdom that was once belonged to them! 🦖❤️🔥

Dark tales told in only two sentences. It's like a mixed bag of poisoned candy.

Short story gothic genre, Shivering Winter by Wafiq When winter's chill creeps through the streets and darkness settles early, Eren, a boy sensitive to the cold, plans a quiet night watching a movie alone. But as a snowstorm rages outside, the house grows darker, colder, and strangely silent. A pizza delivery arrives-but nothing about the night feels real, and soon, Eren is forced to face a terrifying truth: some things are more frightening than storms, and some experiences linger long after the lights return. A gothic tale of suspense, winter horrors, and the thin line between dreams and reality.

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.

Heathcliff, reborn in a new life but troubled with the same fate as his previous one, battles a deadly curse.

A desi horror Rom-com short novella When a "love ritual" goes wrong, Mira accidentally summons an ancient demon warlord into her tiny Mumbai flat. Now she must hide him from her nosy neighbors by pretending he's her "cousin from Canada", all while dodging an underworld cult.

Every job has its secrets-the flickering light in the hallway, the strange glitch in the software, the customer who never seems to leave. But what if those wasn't just workplace quirks? The Shift From Hell is a chilling anthology that peels back the laminate flooring of everyday professions to reveal the supernatural rot beneath. From the high-stakes surveillance rooms of Las Vegas to the quiet desks of elementary school teachers, this collection explores the "hidden curriculum" of the working world. These aren't just ghost stories; they are accounts of the debts we accrue, the shadows we accidentally hire, and the terrifying realization that some contracts are signed in more than just ink.

~~||True hospital stories||~~ (WARNING: YOU MUST BE BRAVE TO READ THIS) Compilation of ghost stories as told by nurses *CREDITS TO THE RIGHTFUL OWNERS* Not mine, but a fellow nurse of mine. We were talking about patients' hallucinations when he told me about this time he was walking past a patient's room, an elderly woman with dementia, and she was chatting up a storm with someone. He asked her who she was talking to, and the woman replied "that nice man in the black and white striped shirt." A while later he went into another patient's with dementia room, and that different patient asked where the man with the striped shirt had gone.

Everyone and everything has a story. No one story is ever quite like another, and yet they exist parallel to each other in this world of ours. Welcome to my gritty collection of short stories encompassing a wild variety of topics centered around many various characters. Plunge yourself into a myriad of worlds, each none quite like the other.

A short story on eleven friends who decide to explore a cave, until they realize what big of a mistake it was.

"Deep in the sands of the Sanderas, an undeveloped area in Ingleside, Texas lies a dark secret. The ghost of a Karankawa Indian, a fierce and cannibalistic tribe, who were killed and tortured by the Spanish Conquistadors, still wanders the sandy flats at night, seeking revenge for the deaths of his tribe. The townspeople of Ingleside know to stay away from the Sanderas at night, but for one young couple, their curiosity leads them to the ancient Indian burial ground where they come face to face with the vengeful ghost and must fight to escape his haunting grasp."

My collection of original short stories and the like. Enjoy! :) (p.s. a few of these were high-school assignments, so forgive me if they're a bit weird.) (p.p.s also some of these are super old, and I don't care enough to edit them. so.) 1-11-2026: #7 in shorthorrorstories
