  2. 💀 The stories are in.
    This month's Dark Descent Picture Prompt entries are live — and it's you who decides which three get published in the Dark Descent Monthly Magazine. Not a panel. Readers like you.
    Read them. Vote for the one that stays with you after.

  3. 🕯 Something I keep thinking about — the most enduring horror often isn't invented. It's remembered. Folklore passed down with the volume deliberately lowered. A place, a ritual, a moment that doesn't resolve cleanly 🖤

    Dark Descent Monthly Magazine is open to writers and artists working in that territory. If you've been holding something that doesn't fit neatly into fiction, it belongs in the ShadowSphere.

  4. 🖤 If the poem only works after midnight, it probably belongs here.

    Nightmare Poetry is the Dark Forum group for original horror verse — work that unsettles, disturbs, and lingers. Share it. Talk atmosphere. Read what other people posted and stay a while.

    A small number of poems may be selected as Editor’s Choice for the next issue of Dark Descent. Selective. Never guaranteed.

    Horror comes first.

  5. I woke up because something was crawling across my arm.

    Tiny pale worms covered my skin.

    I brushed them off.

    More pushed through the pores underneath.

    By the time I reached the bathroom mirror, they had started moving toward my eyes.

  6. CW: Body horror, parasites, worms

    I woke up because something was crawling across my arm.

    Tiny pale worms covered my skin.

    I brushed them off.

    More pushed through the pores underneath.

  9. The crack in the pavement was warm, so I looked inside.

    Far below, a city burned beneath a black sky. Thousands stood in the streets, burning without dying.

    One looked up.

    It had my face.

    Then they all did.

    They pointed behind me.

  10. Podcast Episode: ROCK DEDICATION: He Never Died (Dedicated to JEFFREY

    Now I know the mysteries of the sea, Tranquil emerald hues, emerald blues, enrapture me, Forever embraced with the mermaid queen, Now I know why the mariner nervously glances, Why no one on Grand Isle will ever say he died. For I too, will never die. They say he never died! In the night his spirit glides, Through the cold the sea roars, Pierre lives on forevermore.
