How To Cut Front Fringes At Home

The Director’s Cuts: Horror Tales

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.

How To Evolve A Fireball

In the world of Elka, every awakened mage is granted a Grimoire — a living magical book that records their spells, achievements, and evolution paths. Spells aren’t static. They grow. They branch. They transform. For most mages, spell evolution is a game of instinct and talent — cast more, train harder, get lucky. But Arin Ember isn’t like most mages. He’s not even from this world. Transmigrated from a dying, magicless planet where survival depended on science, Arin sees magic not as mystery, but as code. And he’s obsessed with one spell: Fireball. The weakest, most basic spell in existence — and the only one he’ll ever use. While others chase power through variety, Arin dives into obsessive specialization. He dissects Fireball like a physicist. He refines it like a chemist. And in his blank, silent Grimoire, he begins rebuilding it from the ground up — not just evolving it, but rewriting its magical genome. Because in Elka, every spell is built on a hidden structure: mana-sequence code, a chain of runes and elemental instructions like living DNA. It governs everything — from power output to elemental behavior to spell adaptability. And Arin? He’s the first person insane enough to treat it like genetic engineering. Through experimentation, failure, and relentless theory-crafting, he transforms his Fireball into: A self-replicating flame with controlled mitosis A plasma-based projectile that adapts to air density A sentient spark that learns mid-combat And a superheated core spell capable of atomizing magic barriers They call him talentless. They call him obsessed. But soon, may call him something else: The Father of Spell Genetics. The One-Spell Monster. The Fireball Architect.

HOW TO DUNGEON!

YOU THERE! YES, YOU! Are you horrendously broke? So broke you're digging through the same pair of jeans hoping spare change has magically spawned? Well, aren't we all? But fret not because we've got a solution so simple, so foolproof, you'll be diving in headfirst before we finish this sentence. DUNGEON TREADING! Sounds dangerous? That's because it is! But not too dangerous! Probably! Anyway, here's what you need to know! 1. Resource Treading - Perfect for the cautious type. Venture in, scavenge materials and raw gems, and get out before the dungeon seals shut and spews out a hundred raging Minotaurs with a taste for human limbs! And you'd be surprised how often this happens!!! Just last week, we got a report about some poor guy who got torn up so bad we had to collect him like scattered loot. I mean, seriously... we found a piece of him on the other side of the dungeon! It was like playing a jigsaw puzzle on hard mode, except instead of a picture of a cat, it was... well... Larry.... that was actually quite traumatic actually— Ahem... 2. Beast Treading - Tailored for the more adventurous types!! Slay the horrors that lurk within: from Solfrit fire ants to full-blown Chimeras! Bring their cores to our front desk AND GET PAIDDDDDDDD!!! ..... So now that you know the rules, join Crosstails, a struggling party that enters the dungeon in search of credits to repay a cosmic being they offended. And as they get swept up within the cruelty of the dungeon, they meet an eccentric knight who may not be what he seems.
