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.

Into The Neverwhere

After millennia of waiting, their tongues had yearned for the flavour of earth. Hymns from the dark ages and stories about the gods have clambered into the twenty-first century. The plains were inhabited by gods and the paranormal long before light touched the earth. Stories of power and mountains were created as their limbs dragged across the terrain. Like a virus on a canvas, their fear spread throughout society. However, all stories. Must come to an end. Humans forgot, the gods aged, and time went by. Their stories were eventually recited by midwives to frighten children; their voices had reverberated into the void that had swallowed them up. The years went by like brushstrokes. Humanity had reached its pinnacle, or so they believed. One fateful day, the gods made their way back to the twenty-first century. The rich, opiate-like smell of blood and fear filled their nostrils. Like seeds of evil, they were sprayed out of the abyss that had swallowed them. It was on this day that people saw the tales they believed their grandparents had scattered. However, there were also people like Shinjiro Yurei among the terror. Who had nothing to lose. It is the laws of fate that create stories. Follow Shinjiro as he travels to the abyss they refer to as "The Neverwhere," a story about a boy who has a promise. Will he be able to bring his sister back to life and fulfil a long-forgotten promise, or will he fall apart and disappear like historical dust?
