Let Them In is a collection of thematically-related short horror concerning wilderness, temptation, and the unexplained. Spirits, monsters, mysteries, and things unnamed can all be found within these stories, asking for admittance past thresholds of the home or head. Whatever you do, do not let them in.
The Dog at the Door: A person waiting out winter in a small cabin takes in a strange dog.
The Other Passengers: A shortcut home leads a man to become lost on a lonely backwoods road at night.
The Edges: When a boy is left home alone, some new friends come to visit.
When the Dead Walk: For one night a year, the dead do not sleep.
The Prospect House: A once-acclaimed hotel, the Prospect House closed in 1903, two decades after its opening. What events led to its demise?
The Blue-Stocking Game: Probably fine. Perfectly safe.
A Clean Cut in the Bloated Flesh: Livestock falls over dead and strange apparitions are seen as a small town is covered in a plague of flies.
Ribbereye: The call came long and low over the hills. He couldn't identify it, but it filled him with dread.
**Entry in thegrudgecontest**
I was a non-believer of the supernatural, a skeptic if you will. I thought ghosts were a figment of overactive imaginations. Paranormal was just a genre created for entertainment purposes.
But all that changed when I moved into an old farmhouse that had a tragic past...
My once normal life was thrown into absolute chaos by one ticked-off specter. A ghost who was furious that we had trespassed onto their property and wanted us gone expeditiously.
