Midnight in Salem: Ten Tales from the Dark Side of a Small Town
In the quiet corners of Southern Illinois, some stories refuse to die.
From the abandoned tire factory where the night shift never truly ended, to the drainage ditch that whispers your name after a storm, to the beauty shop mirror that still reflects faces that aren't there - these ten tales explore the shadows that linger in small towns long after the streetlights flicker off.
A disfigured mechanic stalks the backroads, scratching on windows with ruined hands. A glowing fireball drifts through old farmhouses, searching for something it lost long ago. A championship basketball game continues in an empty gymnasium, decades after the players died. And in the crawl space beneath an old Victorian, something ancient waits patiently to be uncovered.
These are not stories of monsters and gore.
These are stories of regret, loneliness, forgotten places, and the things that refuse to stay buried.
Welcome to Midnight in Salem.
Turn off the lights. Lock the doors if it makes you feel better.
But know this - in towns like this one, some things only come alive when the rest of the world has gone to sleep.
And once you start reading... they know you're listening.
