When Ghosts Kill: And Other Ghostly Tales
About
Some places don't just hold secrets. They remember you.
Step into the shadows where silence has weight—and the dead don't always stay where they're meant to.
In this chilling and darkly imaginative collection, the supernatural doesn't feel distant or mythic. It feels close, personal. Sometimes terrifying. Sometimes strange. And sometimes disturbingly funny.
Inside you'll find:
When Ghosts Kill: A scream splits the night. Twelve-year-old Cassandra Dempsey is found dead in her room—no wounds, no struggle, only a face locked in absolute, unmistakable terror.
The old bed and breakfast her family has moved into carries a reputation the town whispers about but never says aloud. But what happened to Cassandra doesn't feel like rumor.
It feels like something noticed her... and decided she shouldn't be there.
The Hearse Drivers: Harley has always treated the dead like cargo—nothing more than another long night's route.
But when his younger brother joins him on a routine pickup, the night veers into something impossibly wrong. They discover some passengers don't stay quiet...
...and some don't stay dead.
The Estate Guards: A quiet security job at an abandoned estate should have been easy money.
Until the house begins behaving like something awake.
Something watching.
And something that doesn't recognize the living as belonging.
Who's Haunting Whom: A team of paranormal investigators walks into a case built on confidence and equipment.
They leave questioning whether the haunting is the anomaly—or whether they were part of it all along.
Through a Glass Darkly: A haunting blend of science fiction and supernatural horror about a man who dies without realizing it and awakens to a world where every living thing has vanished.
As his wife struggles to move on without him, in a world unchanged to her, brief and unsettling moments suggest the divide between life and death may not be as absolute as either believed.
Perfect for readers who like their ghost stories atmospheric, unpredictable, and just self-aware enough to smirk right before they unsettle you.
Because in these stories, being haunted isn't always the worst part.
Sometimes it's being noticed.
A word of warning: some things notice when they're being read.
