Riz asked Neve, "So what happened to the village?" and Neve calmly replied, "It's fine, nothing happened, don't worry." Suddenly, instead of their friend Sharpie, a huge dragon appeared in front of them, its eyes dark like fire. Riz whispered: "No... the other side of Sharpie... it was the dragon... all this time!"

"One Halloween night in my small town, we were celebrating as a tradition in some countries — Halloween, also known as the night of witches. That night my grandmother and my three cousins celebrated Halloween in our small house. Suddenly, my grandmother told us to go to our neighbors’ houses to collect candies. Since there were three of us and some houses were far away, we split up. I walked alone down a dark path until I reached the last house, where there was no light and everything was dark."

"On a Halloween night, the lanterns were shining and bats were watching the children who went from house to house looking for candy. That night some kids named Joel, Sari, Emma, and Esteban went from house to house saying trick or treat. Suddenly, they came to one house that looked very dark, and Marcos said to Emma and Sari, ‘Should we go in?’ They looked at the house made of moldy bricks, its wooden roof old and broken. There was a strange house, and when they opened the chimney, something moved inside."

"Kylie looked out the window and saw an old wooden house.
'Is that where we are going to live?' she said.
Kylie wrinkled her nose, opened the door with a loud 'creak', and took a deep breath. She smelled old moldy wood.
Her mom said, 'I heard this house belonged to a witch in the 18th century.'
'Mom, I don't believe in those things anymore,' Kylie muttered as she walked up the stairs with a thud. She mumbled, 'I can't believe mom tried to scare me like I was a little kid.'

"Eventually, it became dark and Phil decided he was going to look for the sheep the next day. When Phil was going to sleep, he heard a loud, evil cackle again. It knocked the wind out of him. This time Phil did get scared, really scared.
The next day, Phil went to look for the lost sheep. He walked so far that he became weary and sat down for a rest. Then he closed his eyes and fell asleep. When he woke up, he saw his sheep. They were right next to a crude wooden house standing on chicken legs! It stood ten feet off the ground on legs like stilts. Phil knew whose house that was – it was Baba Yaga’s house.

"That night, the men who stayed made a camp. Two slept on the ground and one on the roof. Suddenly, something fell onto the roof and grabbed the man who was sleeping up there. It started to eat him. One of the men on the ground saw something dripping from the ceiling. He turned on his lamp and shone a light... he saw that it was blood."

"Jack was peacefully on his way to buy bread at the store when he heard the tempting sound of a phone ringing from a phone booth. His curiosity made him answer it. ‘Are you Jack Harrison?’ said a stranger with a deep voice. ‘Uh… yes…’ Jack replied, a bit confused. ‘Perfect…’ the stranger said before hanging up."

Welcome to Derry by Noah Reigner, age 12

"Until one day during a thunderstorm. His dad moved the car into the garage. Tyler's dad said, 'Boy, can you get me the towel in the basement?' That alone gave Tyler the chills. He hated the basement. It was dark, dusty, and cold. And since it was raining, it probably was flooded that made things worse. It felt like ages until he reached the bottom. As he was about to turn on the light, he heard something splashing in the water."

The Last Bride by Florence Delgado, age 13

"It was finally a day before the wedding and just as William said, a butler arrived at Lucy's home with a package. It was a white dress with white roses on it and decorated with silver and gold ribbons. Lucy started to spin around in her new dress, but then she stopped and noticed something splattered on the end of the dress... It was bloodstained! He got in his carriage, and started to ride away, and said goodbye. Then she found the keys and the note in the kitchen. She read it out loud, 'Don't use the tiny key.'"

Being Alone in the Dark by Sol Zambrano Vasquez, age 13

mdsvenao — 2025-11-18 01:56:40 UTC

"Paige is a six year old girl with rosy cheeks and crazy short blonde hair. But like a lot of kids, Paige was scared of being alone in the dark. Not the starry night, but the dark shadows, and the feeling that eyes are on you like prey for a lion. Her lovely room changes drastically when the sun goes down at night. The howling of the wind sounds like somebody breaking in, the dress hanging in the closet looks like a ghost without a head."

A Diadem Suited for a Princess and the World by Galia Nickson Spalding, age 13

mdsvenao — 2025-11-18 01:59:19 UTC

"Ophelia was a curious girl, not ordinary, well in that case neither was her family. She was the heir to the royal vampire throne, the only daughter, the only princess. Yet she did not seem completely understanding of what this meant, nor did she seem happy with this fate. Her mother was always in a disgustingly pleasant mood. Her uncle always looked a mix of sinister and content."

The Cursed Server by Jafeth de Gracia, age 13

"Summer was playing Team Fortress with his sister Tasty. Everything was fine until Tasty stopped talking. ‘Tasty?’ said Summer but she didn’t respond. He looked at her and she was laying on the floor with blood on her mouth. He looked at the screen and it said, ‘Tasty has joined the server.’"

The Curse of the Kingdom by Polly Saflund, age 14

"The seven year old princess Rose crawls up closer in her father's lap. ‘But how do I know if it's coming?’
‘Bugs, slimy, crawly creatures, will go everywhere it goes. Lots of them. That's why we hate bugs. Whenever you see one, be extra careful.’
‘Do you think I'll get taken away one day?’
‘I would never let anything like that happen to you, my pearl,’ said Monstron the great old king, his dry gray hair flowing down under his crown.”

The White Spectre that Floats in the Night by Lizary Rios, age 14

mdsvenao — 2025-11-18 02:01:36 UTC

“Her hands and feet were not visible, which made her presence even more terrifying. Those who saw her pass by the lonely road at night felt a paralyzing fear. Some tried to run, but their legs turned to lead. Others tried to scream, but their voices were choked in their throats. The witch did not say a word, but her presence was enough to chill anyone's blood.

Bloody Road by Irvin Avila, age 16

“Julián felt something grab him from behind. He looked back and saw a monster with its eyes on fire; it had hands like a dinosaur, bull hooves, and large horns. Julián was dead with fear and lost control, plunging down a ravine. María looked back and saw that her husband had disappeared down the ravine. She got off her bike and ran to help him.”
