A Collection of short horror stories based on folklore, myths, and campfire stories.
This volume of modern myths contains the stories
Winter's Bite:
Strange things have been happening in the Fox Valley. People disappearing only for mangled corpses to be found blood staining the snow.
Coyotemen of Cortez:
It was just a road trip before they started college but a freak accident leaves them stranded in a strange town called Cortez.
The Concrete Labyrinth:
A competitive internship for the Minos Company leaves Theodore in a strange situation locked in building of winding halls with thirteen other interns.
The Wailing Spirit:
A harbinger brings a deadly warning for Lucas and his new wife Tanya. Now Lucas must do everything in his power to protect her, but the question is will he succeed?
The Fox's Possession:
Akane's brother Daisuke was only supposed to be gone a week while he visited their ancestral home, since no one would tell him why they had left for the USA in the first place. Now Akane has followed him trying to find her missing brother, but maybe some family secrets were meant to stay buried.
If you enjoyed Scary stories to tell in the dark or folklore and myths in general you will probably like this collection horror stories that are meant to be a quick read.
This is the main copy of Modern Myths Vol.1 which will be continually updated to the most recent draft.
The cover does not belong to me and is a stand in until the final cover is complete.

Kill The Reaper | ONC 2026
The woods surrounding Crenshaw are haunted by the secret between life and death---a monster known only as the Reaper. For centuries, Crenshaw's Institute for the Dark and Gifted has had one rule that its students are never meant to break: stay out of the woods, or face the Reaper's wrath. Faceless and formless, the Reaper feeds off the blood of those unfortunate enough to wander into the forest, but never touches those who obey the golden rule. That is, until a body is found in the library, drained entirely of blood. With the school halls no longer safe from the Reaper's bloodlust, four gifted students are forced to team up to uncover what the Reaper truly is---and more importantly, how to get rid of it. (Prompt 16: "And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.")
