Red Masterpiece
It’s a lie when told that family is only bound by blood, but Aneesa and Dakota defied this law. They were fertile twins from different mothers and with different fathers, yet they still remained biological in one another’s eyes. Their friendship was like being an alcoholic; once they passed the disgustingly bitter, burning taste, they become addicted, and as soon as they were hooked on one another, they became senseless and invincible, only to have the buzz crash once they’ve had too much. But by the next day, the bottle was back in their hands, and everything happened again.

Unquiet Spirits Who Do Evil
I knew better than to go back to Sleepy Lake, the town I lived in thirty years ago, and where I almost lost my mind, and my life. Spirits from the underworld lived there, and the moment I drove back into town, I knew they still lived there, and they knew I was back. I also knew if I went through with my plan, they would kill me.

How to Survive a Horror Film
Horror movies are a go-to choice anytime, but are especially prevalent for Halloween. The fright and adrenaline rush that follows a horror flick proves how amazing the genre is to provide a physiological response (such as jumping, screaming, maybe having popcorn explode into the sky by a scary scene).

Haunting Me (Part 2)
When you travel for a living, especially in a state as big as Texas, you spend a lot of time eating out of paper, cardboard and parchment. You also spend a lot of time drinking out of to-go cups. For the second time in my life the cop handed me a cup, this time filled with hot coffee. I held it in both hands, sitting on the edge of my bed, staring a blank TV. He sat in the room’s obligatory chair and watched me. I could tell he was used to dealing with sudden trouble and wasn’t about to let me catch him off guard. I held the cup, letting the warmth seep into my hands. I had almost touched Mia, and the cold still lingered, like how your hands feel after you dig through a bin of ice.

Haunting Me
There are some things that only ghosts and civil servants should know. That was a corny-ass line I’d heard years ago, attached to some direct-to-video b-horror movie. I never gave it much thought when I saw it, other than it sounded like someone who had too much to drink would say.

Prologue
Life. What is it truly? I can’t help but wonder what the point is in living such stresses constantly? Such a heavy question for someone who hasn’t even graduated yet. Prom, finals, graduation — these are the things a normal teenage girl should be worrying about. I guess I pulled the short straw. My last memory of normalcy had to be my 13th birthday.

Blood Addiction: Chapter 2
Chapter 2 “Aw man, what the hell, Julian?” All I could hear was Tony panicking in my ear, pacing back and forth in Jane’s apartment. She’d been knocked out for about three hours and he was starting to worry. To be honest, I don’t know what the hell happened. The last thing I remembered was feeling a shock go down my arm when she accidentally brushed her hand against mine at the blood bank. After that, it was like everything happened in a quick blur. She got dazed, passed out, and hasn’t been up since then. I looked over to my little brother and started shaking my head.

The True "Golden Age of Horror"
“Since childhood, I’ve been faithful to monsters. I have been saved and absolved by them, because monsters, I believe, are patron saints of our blissful imperfection, and they allow and embody the possibility of failing. For 25 years, I have handcrafted very strange little tales made of motion, color, light and shadow … and in three precise instances, these strange stories, these fables, have saved my life. Once with Devil’s Backbone, once with Pan’s Labyrinth, and now with Shape of Water.” - Guillermo del Toro, Golden Globe Best Director acceptance speech, for The Shape of Water
