Welcome to Spook and Speculation, a collection of short stories designed to send shivers down your spine and spark supposition in your brain. Each month will bring a new set of works; short stories, personal essays, and photographs to entertain, disturb, and – perhaps – encourage you to take a deeper look into the world around you.

What monsters lurk in the shadows? What specters hide in the space between spaces? Is there anything in this world that is truly known?

This is your formal invitation to enter our little space. Come on in, pull up a chair and sit for a spell. We’ll weave stories to thrill you, but keep the light close by – the other side can be a dangerous place if you’re stumbling through it in the dark.

Lastly, be warned: once this door is opened, it can be hard to close.

Enjoy.
