Fan Feardom Vol.1 23.09.2025

Fan Feardom, where your stories come to life. Vol 1 features Emily, Jakob and @appalachianboobust 

The Hollowman 23.09.2025

In the quiet corners of British folklore, there’s a figure who doesn’t chase, doesn’t speak, and doesn’t bleed. He simply appears and wears what's left of you when you're gone.

The Nuckelavee 23.09.2025

In the windswept Orkney Islands, where the sea claws at the land and the lochs run deep, there is a legend older than the kirk stones and darker than the winter tide.

The Will O'wisp 16.09.2025

They say the will o’ wisp is no mere trick of the light, but a soul-hunter born of old grief and bog-bound bargains. It drifts between worlds, luring the lost with flickers of warmth, each flame a life claimed. Nell followed the eighth light into the mire, her name now spoken only in hush. But the wisp is still hungry. It seeks its ninth. And when the mist rises and the lanterns fail, you must not...

The mirror in room 13 16.09.2025

They say the mirror in Room 13 was never meant to be there. It wasn’t hung—it arrived. A tall, freestanding thing with a frame like scorched bone and glass that never quite reflects true. Those who look into it see their death. Not once, but again and again, until the image roots itself deep. Until the mirror begins to watch back. It doesn’t show what might be—it shows what will be. And once it’s...

The Wild Hunt 09.09.2025

When the Wild Hunt descends upon a frostbitten village, its riders demand blood and a soul. Eira, bound by ancestral duty, steps forward—not as prey, but as gift. Her willing surrender halts the slaughter, but the Hunt does not release its claim. Instead, it reshapes her. Cloaked in ash and antler, Eira becomes one of them—a spectral rider bound to the wind, forever chasing the echoes of her forme...

The Werewatchers 09.09.2025

In the shadows, they do not interfere —they observe. The Werewatchers, a sect cloaked in silence and memory, chronicle each transformation with ink and bone. They do not interfere. They wait. When a new werewolf turns, the Watchers are already there, recording the shift, binding the name, and leaving a sigil no one else sees. Those marked are left to live, until the time comes. Then the Watchers r...

Bean Nighe 02.09.2025

Bean Nighe Morven knew the legends. She knew the rules. And she thought she’d outwitted the Washer Woman.   But fate doesn’t bargain.   When Morven breaks the Bean Nighe’s ritual, she believes she’s escaped the death foretold in the blood-soaked linens. But the river keeps its promises—and the washer never leaves her work unfinished.   You can cheat the tale. But not the ending.  

Black Annis 02.09.2025

Black Annis Children vanish. Claw marks in the bark. Blood-stained soil beneath the trees.   Detective Mara Mcphearson doesn’t believe in monsters—until the case drags her deep into the woods, where something ancient waits.   A tale of ritual, obsession, and the hunt for a hag who wears the faces of the lost.   Some legends don’t sleep. They feed.

Captured Silence 02.09.2025

He came for the light, the angles, the shadows, the perfect shot. But the chapel had been waiting.   When a photographer ventures into a long-abandoned chapel, his lens begins to capture more than decay: ritual marks, moments frozen in time and something watching from the silence.   A tale of possession and the price of seeing too much.   Some places were never meant to be remembered.
