!!NOT MY STORIES!! I found an old book in my attic full of horror stories and wanted to re-tell them for others to enjoy The book has a total of 101 stories I will update this as frequently as I can :)

This started out as a creative writing assignment for university and now it's slowly becoming a really cool story. It is slightly based on "Rip van Winkle" by Washington Irving. Liam Carrell, a man who fought in the american revolution, suddenly wakes up in 2016 with a strange dry feeling in his eyes..... Please note that I can't update very often because I'm very busy with university, but I will definitly finish this story.

In 1745, Miss Mercy Savage is left an orphan after her notorious, money lender father is killed in a mysterious fire. His infamous riches, and extensive library, are all left to her under a single condition. She must leave Boston for the town of her parents' origin, a small New England hamlet snug in midst of marshland and swamps. There she becomes the ward to her father's only childhood friend, Cyril Bawden, at his sprawling brick home filled with books and shadows. But there is a dark figure haunting her steps, one that is seeking what is due to him, something her father promised years earlier. Inspired by the short story by Washington Irving, "The Devil and Tom Walker"

A continuation of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" which reveals Ichabod Crane's fate, and a new twist on the Headless Horseman's motives. Image credit: TheJayfournines of DeviantArt. *Caution: Contains mild male x male intimacy*
