🖤 One of the best things about The 13th Floor is never quite knowing what sort of horror is coming next.
You get wrapped up in one novella and its characters, reach the end, and then the next story takes you somewhere completely different.
Three novellas means three chances to find out just how badly the 13th floor can go wrong.📦 Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GP9X48XQ?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=fedica-The-13th-Floor

The temple was open. Waiting. And she had no choice but to enter.
Above its crown, lightning stitched the sky into a broken tapestry, flash after flash, yet still no sound, no thunder, only silence.

The resort was no longer a place. It was a silhouette being erased.
Trees lost their shape, flowers vanished into smears of gray, even the sky itself dimmed as if painted over by invisible hands.

There are places where the silence feels deliberate.
You walk in. You look around. Nothing seems wrong.
Then you realize the silence started when you arrived.

His shadow no longer lined up with his body.
“Loser.” A murmur, close to his ear.
Simon stopped short. “What did you just say?”
The man turned, puzzled. “I said nothing, sir.”

Amanda.
Amanda.
Amanda.
The sound was not loud, but it was inside her, a murmur that pulled at her chest.

Monday Morning Musings
This piece was born from that melancholy tradition where love and decay walk side by side, and the line between living warmth and a spectral chill is paper-thin. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe, master of gothic verse.https://jlgang.wordpress.com/2026/10/05/monday-morning-musings-46/

Then the mud shifted. Its surface rippled slightly, though the air was still.
The fragrance thinned, fading from sweet to sulfur. The mud grew warmer. The ripples didn’t stop.

CW: fiction religious extremism
My father knew a man who knew a man who was killed by the arm of a saguaro he plugged with a shotgun. He would take me to the woods to practice-shoot cans, soda bottles, watermelon. ''Nowadays if he hadn't died, he would have gone to prison.'' he said, snorting. ''For a cactus.'' He told me to keep both eyes open on the target, just like we will for the Antichrist. The end of the world will be with fire. God will rule with a rod of iron. Inktober cactus #darkfiction

You keep checking the lock even though you know you locked it.
You keep looking behind you even though the hallway is empty.
You keep waking at 3:17 because something in the room feels wrong.
Eventually, the fear stops feeling irrational.
Eventually, you understand it was warning you.

Some things do not haunt houses.
They wait inside routines, familiar rooms, ordinary nights, until you stop noticing the small changes.
Then one evening, you realize something has been living beside you for longer than you can remember.
And it already knows you noticed.

The house has been quiet for hours.
Then footsteps begin upstairs, slow and heavy enough to make the ceiling creak.
They cross the room above you, stop directly over your head, and remain there for several seconds.
Then they start moving again, even though this time they are coming from inside the wall.
