Halloween is for the Dead

This is a collection of Halloween short-stories. It touches on a wee bit of everything we love about the Halloween season. The stories range from mild to wild, and if they make you stop to look differently at neighbor, or listen more intently to a strange sound, then I have done what I intended to do.
Two of the stories, I enjoyed writing so much that they will be turned into full novels.
One titled, Halloween, is now being written under a new title, He Came Home. You can find it on this site.
The other is, The Watcher, which I will make into a 3 book series.
I have added the "Mature" label to the book, as I am planning on adding more Adult Themes and situations.
I hope you enjoy these stories.

Coffin: The Story that lasted thirty-one days - Volume Two
This story will carry on where last years volume came to a close, it is a story of revenge, irony and vampire origin and evolution. The story is supported by media, in the form of pictures and videos which are selected concerning a word or phrase contained in the chapter, giving it an alternate dimension. The story grows over the thirty-one days of October 2019, but will not be limited to 31 words per chapter as per Volume 1. However, each chapter begins with an opening poetic stanza, containing 31 words of daily acrostic prose. Each day the acrostic prose will begin with the succeeding letter of the story's title, 'The Story that Lasted Thirty-One Days', hence the first day will begin with a 'T' and the last an 'S', a total of Thirty-One. It was quite a challenge the story is circa 15K words and each chapter has an average of circa 480 words, each was written day-to-day throughout the thirty-one of October, so you can expect to find mistakes, but editing and update will continue to correct any errors. The story begins with 'The story so far' and 'Incarceration', creating a prologue of Volume 1, 2018 from which the story evolved. At the time of writing the reader knew just as much as I did about its direction and destination. https://www.wattpad.com/user/NehpetsEnal Thank you. © All Rights Reserved by the Author Cover and Story by Stephen L W Lane aka @NehpetsEnalComplete
Scary Stories From The Other Me
My grandfather was a great shaman and coming from such a culture that believe in the world of the dead, I came to find myself experiencing many things in life that could be described as short of witnessing the "dead" in the world of living. In this book, I wrote down short horror stories that are inspired from true stories. Short scary stories to spice up your weekend. Update every week on most Fridays.
Thirty One Days
As a way to better myself as a writer I've decided to challenge myself this October. This book will begin on October 1st and end of October 31st. Everyday I will push myself to write and publish a chapter. I honestly do not know where this book is going, what will happen, or how it will end. But that is a journey we can take together! Since this is the month of October there will be a spooky, Halloween spirit, twist to this story. This challenge was inspired by a friend of mine, who wants to better herself as an artist, participating in Gore-tober. I went searching for a writer's verse and, when I was unable to find one, I ended up creating one myself!Complete
Afterlife - A Horror Story
BEING REWRITTEN! https://www.wattpad.com/story/344672232?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=link&utm_content=story_info&wp_page=story_details&wp_uname=TheAddieDragon&wp_originator=ouzo%2B5TmCuNprk8lN%2FgcjxAlLcDlpSVozLbKiqyNl2uYr3UzcWZPnNQ%2BCeFHHpqmEj%2FmclBWDNUpygmThVqRUSKpsqHXJl6qFJW3BMKZpXIOyVyBfdiGVnLb9%2BI2TnKY - He awakens in the middle of the forest. Where is he? What's going on? Who is he? These questions ponder his mind. He hardly remembers anything about before, nor does he know anything about the present. Luckily, he meets someone else - a ghost that had waited the month after his death for his awakening. They show him the world he now resides in, Limbo, also known as the afterlife. Since he can't remember his name, he gives himself one - Gradient. His new friend gives him a warm welcome to his eternal resting place, and he gladly accepts. Yet there is still more to learn about this mysterious place. And more to learn about his spiritual self. ------ !DISCLAIMER! This is a horror-type story. There will be themes relating to/depicting: body horror, death, gore, blood, murder, etc. If any of these themes disturb you in any way, viewer discretion is advised. ------ HALLOWEEN STORY LETS GO I know I have multiple stories I need to finish but I'm definitely gonna be finishing this soon (er, hopefully), so BEAR WITH ME HERE. And some story elements are inspired by a book I read called Everlost by Neil Shusterman, and I greatly suggest it :) Started: September 4, 2022 Ended: October 31, 2022Complete
