Urbanhorror Stories

Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, a brilliant new detective and devoted family man, arrives in a decaying urban sprawl haunted by the City Butcher-a savage killer unleashing chaotic rage on the innocent. As Holmes uncovers a chilling pattern tied to his own childhood demons, his meticulous pursuit spirals into obsession. Balancing tender nights warming milk for his infant daughter with cold days dissecting carnage, he corners his old nemesis, Gregor, in a sadistic showdown that ends in blood and a supernatural curse. What begins as justice awakens something primal: visions of a demonic Gregor threaten Holmes's family unless he claims seven elite lives, one for each deadly sin. In this debut of a two-book saga, a gentleman surgeon becomes the scalpel-wielding predator the city never saw coming.

Something has crossed over. It doesn't arrive loudly. It doesn't announce itself. It walks barefoot through the city, leaving behind ripples that don't fade-only spread. Kush-tiel feels it before he understands it. A presence humming beneath floorboards. A whisper that follows him out of sleep. A question with no owner: Who? Across the city, a child appears where she shouldn't exist. Too calm. Too quiet. People change around her. Violence blooms without memory. Reflections lie. Billboards watch back. And somewhere between dreams and daylight, a name surfaces that should have been safe. Zephyr. As echoes spread through streets, homes, and minds, the boundary between influence and invasion begins to crack. What entered the world isn't lost-it's searching. And whatever it's looking for is closer than anyone realizes. Chapter 5 deepens the unease, drawing the threat inward-toward family, toward memory, toward the places that were never meant to be breached. Some doors don't open. They let things through.

Rowan was just trying to get home. A rainy walk. A strange sound. Something heavy landing on his umbrella. He ran to the station... but the station was empty. The train was empty. And by the next stop, Rowan was gone. All they found was his umbrella.

Pale and fleeting is a collection of horror microfiction by Uruguayan author Luis B. Poirier, subtitled "Brief flashes of horror before darkness devours everything." The anthology comprises stories that blend psychological terror, body horror, and supernatural elements, frequently set against the backdrop of contemporary Montevideo and rural Uruguay. The collection explores recurring motifs of identity dissolution, temporal anomalies, cursed objects, doppelgängers, and the intrusion of the uncanny into quotidian existence. Poirier's narratives employ unreliable narrators, fragmented temporalities, and metafictional techniques to create atmospheres of ontological uncertainty where boundaries between self and other, past and present, reality and delusion become increasingly porous. Central themes include maternal trauma and repressed grief, professional and domestic stasis leading to psychological deterioration, demonic possession reframed as internal fragmentation, and the dissolution of personal identity through supernatural encounters. Poirier's prose oscillates between stark minimalism and baroque elaboration, demonstrating influences from Río de la Plata literary traditions-particularly the metaphysical horror of Jorge Luis Borges and the rural Gothic of Horacio Quiroga-while incorporating contemporary urban alienation and digital age anxieties. The work situates itself within Latin American "weird fiction," employing second person narration and direct reader address to create what has been termed "participatory dread," synthesizing regional specificity with universal themes of existential displacement and corporeal vulnerability.

Trapped beneath a corpse with a monster still breathing beside him, Raiden writes a letter he knows will never be sent. What begins as an apology becomes a confession-of missing men, broken loyalty, and a violence that awakened something far worse than any rival gang. As the truth unfolds, one thing becomes clear: some sins don't follow you out of the dark. They wait. A short, standalone horror story about guilt, consequences, and the price of surviving.

Synopsis - The Wicked In a world where shadows linger a little too long and whispers follow the wind, a troubled young boy named Kai drifts between isolation and reality. Burdened by the scars of a broken life, he finds himself slipping further into the depths of despair-until one night, something ancient awakens. Drawn to Kai's pain, a powerful and malevolent force known only as The Wicked makes its presence known. With glowing violet eyes and a voice like distant thunder, it offers power... and something far more dangerous: understanding. From that moment, nothing is the same. Haunted by visions, hunted by secrets he doesn't yet understand, and stalked by those who fear what he's becoming, Kai begins a journey where trust is fleeting, truth is twisted, and survival means facing the darkness within. But as the lines blur between who is the host and who is the master-one question begins to rise above all: What does The Wicked really want?

This book is a collection of several short supernatural stories - stories which should not be categorized as gross horror. These stories are an attempt to bond cosmic horror with psychological horror. They question the basic nature of reality and how it is perceived. They waver somewhere between real and surreal, a misty place which should not be trod even in nightmares. Ranking : #2 horrorshortstories #2 urbanhorror # 3 uncanny
