Some doors are meant to stay closed.
Meet Mortimer, aka Death himself, your charming Southern host with a taste for the macabre and stories that burrow deep under your skin. He's not here to swing a scythe or rattle chains. He's here to tell you three tales that'll make you check your locks twice and sleep with the lights on.
In a yellow house on Ridgewood Lane, newlyweds Tom and Emily think they've found their slice of heaven until something ancient and hungry decides they're trespassing on its domain.
At Pinecrest Memorial Hospital, nurse Eliza Blackwood returns home to discover that some medical breakthroughs are better left buried, especially when they involve coal dust, time distortion, and doctors who refuse to stay dead.
And at Millhaven University, grieving student Liam learns that consciousness doesn't end with death. It just changes frequency. Now the dead are listening, and they want back in.
These aren't your typical ghost stories. They're slow burns that creep through your thoughts like smoke, settling into the quiet spaces of your mind where fear lives. Mortimer doesn't just tell tales. He plants seeds that grow in the dark.
Fair warning: these stories don't let go easy. They linger. They listen. And sometimes, if the fit is just right, they make themselves at home.
Welcome to Death's parlor. Pull up a chair and stay awhile. Perfect for fans of Clive Barker, Joe Hill, and those who love a touch of Southern Gothic with their horror.
