If you’re looking for a chilling winter tale this Christmas Eve, check out my newest story, “Winter’s Grip,” which has been selected for Iron Faerie Publishing’s Hawthorn & Ash series! ironfaeriepublishing.com/2025/12/22/h... #horror #writingcommunity

“The villagers were no stranger to winter illnesses. But this year's was different. The villagers knew how to mourn those lost to the cold. They didn't know how to mourn those who returned from it.” #twelvetalesofterror #horror #writingcommunity

"’No need to worry, dear,’ Grandma said. ‘Krampus only punishes the naughty.’ She smiled. Her eyes glowed yellow; her pupils flattened into dark, thin lines. ‘And you've been good. Haven't you?’” #twelvetalesofterror #horror #writingcommunity

“Ten lords a-leap toward the edge of the forest while the thing behind them cackles at the prospect of another delicious chase.” #twelvetalesofterror #horror #writingcommunity

“The Christmas tree farmer shook his head at their fearful cries. If they hadn't been in such a hurry, he would have warned them not to go into that section of the nursery.” #twelvetalesofterror #horror #writingcommunity

“When she went to move it for the next morning, the elf was no longer on the shelf.” #twelvetalesofterror #writingcommunity #horror

“Up on the housetop, click, click, click. You won't escape him... even if you're quick.” #twelvetalesofterror #writingcommunity #horror

“The carol sounded strange, like each note was just a little bit off. But that wasn’t what unsettled her most about the carolers. It was their smiles. And the drooling. They looked…hungry.” #twelvetalesofterror #writingcommunity #horror

“As bony fingers reached for him, the man’s screams rattled even the souls of the damned. But the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come wasn’t giving out second chances this year.”#twelvetalesofterror #writingcommunity #horror

IV. “The name on the present was her own, but when she opened the box, what waited inside was anything but a gift.” #twelvetalesofterror #writingcommunity #horror

III. “When the snowman waved goodbye and said that he’d ‘be back again someday,’ it wasn’t a promise. It was a threat.” #twelvetalesofterror #writingcommunity #horror
