Chapter 2
Anya lifted the nearest candle. It was black, small, and when she held it in the palm of her hand the others could see the strange sigils inked into her skin. She stared into the flame as if she could see something in it the others could not. "Many people do not believe in the o...

Chapter 5
Leroy shifted his legs to lean down and pick up a candle. In the dark, it played across the pale patch of skin that cut across one cheek and the round, flat nose. His mouth broke into a bright smile. His voice, when he spoke, was deep and melodious. "In this world, people will d...

Chapter 6
Latoya already had her candle in hand, as Leroy doused his. She leaned against her brother's shoulder, the patch of vitiligo along her chin catching the light of the small flame, even as her flat cap hid her eyes from view. "A good story about how one step into darkness can lead...

Chapter 10
Asenath selected another candle. It was one of the larger ones, six inches tall, an inch thick. A dribble of wax ran down the pale shaft, onto her hand. "Phallic," she pronounced, with a smile. "Most men and women come to accept their bodies. What they have, and what they don't....

Chapter 11
"There are farmhouses, in this county, over a century old. Soil that has soaked up blood. Scythes that hang in toolsheds which have a history so dark and traumatic that sometimes it casts echoes into the present," Roberta said, as she picked up a candle. "Once, I was called out t...

Chapter 18
Roberta took a deep breath, then leaned over to lift another candle. Its soft white glow seemed to form a halo for a moment. "In my studies of parapsychology and unknown phenomena, I have often wondered if truly is an end," she said, her voice suddenly cold and sepulchral....

Chapter 19
"Sex and horror go hand in hand," Leroy said, as he threw an arm about Latoya's shoulders. "Fear and lust are both states of excitement. There are moments of pain so intense that they verge on pleasure—and they speak to something primal within us. Some instinct deeper than reason...

Chapter 20
"As I'm sure many of you have picked up on, the stories of Dagon's Hollow—both the cave and the town—are generational. Sure, we got some one-off craziness." Latoya smiled at that, as she leaned against Leroy's shoulder, one arm stretching out to grab another candle. "But this pla...

Chapter 21
Miu rose from where she sat, on the steps of the shrine, and walked over to a candle that rested on a particular gravestone. "Generations. It is what binds past to future. We are all our ancestors. I am reminded of another story that took place in this very graveyard, on this ve...

Chapter 24
"Relationships can be so difficult," Asenath said, as she rose and took a step to take up another candle. "What do you do when the fire goes out? How do you rekindle a relationship that has gone cold? I once heard a story of a husband who would do almost anything for his wife...w...

Chapter 25
"'Til do we part,'" Roberta said. "Many people have wished for a love that transcends this life. Wishing does not always make it so. Yet there was one case where—well. I will not say it proved life after , but it proved you should be careful what you wish for. I call i...

Chapter 31
Asenath rose to pluck a candle from the shrine. She paused to think for a long moment before beginning. "Not everyone knows what they are worth. It is a harsh world, and people must put a price on their labor. Yet what would happen if that price were to drop? I call this story.....

"I have heard of a necklace like that," Roberta said, as she rose to fetch the next candle. The wind had died again, as though the night held its breath. "It was part of a matching pair. The other takes the form of a gold vulva, on a smaller chain to be worn at wrist or ankle. I...

Chapter 35
Miu stepped into the shrine and bowed her head slightly before she picked up a candle on the topmost step. None had been laid inside the shrine itself, which was dark. "The first Japanese here had no priest. Later, though, a need was felt. For prayers, for exorcisms, for wedding...

Chapter 36
Jason cracked open another beer. There was a hiss, and a dribble of froth. He took a long, slow sip, and around him, some of the others produced flasks or bottles of water. Storytelling, after all, is thirsty work. "You might have the impression by now that you know what sets ou...

Chapter 38
Asenath rose; her steps were silent as she stepped to retrieve a candle and carried it back to her spot. She smoothed the skirt of her white dress with one hand, as she held the candle in the other. "Privacy is something we prize. To have a certain space to ourselves. Yet have y...

Chapter 40
"We like to talk about ghosts and ghouls, but not all horror is supernatural," Leroy said as he rose and stooped to fetch a candle. "In fact, most horrors are all too human. What one person does to another. This is a story of one such human horror, and I call it... > SLEEPY TIME...

Chapter 45
From behind a grave marker, Asenath brought out a bottle of water and took a sip. She held the candle in her hand, burned almost halfway down. "Horror," she said. "Can arise from the most mundane things. The things you can't do without. Can't escape. It's what keeps germaphobes...

From an inner coat pocket, Leroy produced a flask. He unscrewed the top and took a small swig. His sister brought him a candle, and he held it in his free hand. "This story," he said without preamble, "is called > FOUR DEAD NAZIS There is a memorial on the lawn outside Dagon's...
