Halloween isn't the only reason we crave horror fiction this time of year. Something about autumn primes us for stories of the macabre-the crunch of leaves underfoot, the rustling winds, and the smell of things dying. I read a lot of horror fiction thanks to the work of editors like Ellen Datlow, John Joseph Adams, Ann VanderMeer, and Niall Harrison. Here are the 9 creepiest short stories I've read by contemporary writers that were published online in the past decade.
