Monsters and horror go hand in hand; explore horrific creatures, beasts and hairy scaries like Freddy Krueger, Frankenstein and far beyond.

The Barn Owl
The mice had left their black pellets everywhere. The grain stores were contaminated, half of it now inedible. The vermin had appeared in the spring- only a few stragglers at first. I didn't think much of it. I set some traps and assumed our farm cat would be more than capable of keeping them in check. Was I ever wrong.

They'll Find Me
It’s been a long, long night. But it has been a good one. Her parents make her feel so loved. The country home that they live in, though standing alone for miles and her, Elaine, being an only child, provides her with all the comfort in the world. She’s happy. Though time has dragged on and the wind blows a cold draft into her room, she’s warm. She’s loved. She’s happy.

The Full Monty
Humans like to call me monster. When I think of a monster, I think of a mindless brute. I am a troll, but that does not make me a monster. Demonizing me does not serve any of us, and it is inaccurate. I had trolls for parents and, they weren’t monsters either. I did have to kill them and eat them, but there’s a reason for that.

The Unicorn
The night my mare gave birth to a unicorn, it rained. It was November, and winter was in the air, and the rain that raged all week would make the roads slick and icy when the temperature plunged the next day.

The Man Who Got Away
There once was a old rundown barn, sitting deep in the woods quietly to do harm. No one knew as to why it was there, except for a man who warned beware.

Return of The Barn Owl
As children, our mom would sit us down for story time. Me and my brother would be running around and once she would shout the words "Story Time!" we would stop dead in our tracks.

The attacker
I live on a farm. 22 acres of peace, freedom and amazing views, in the middle of a busy city. No one but trees and creek as far as the eyes can see. We decided to get chicken. Then we got geese and ducks. Then peacocks and pheasants, the most beautiful and elegant creatures ever. Also some of the loudest!

Day Dreaming
A barn owl glides over a pond I can see from my bedroom window. As a child I would tell my mother, there is lady that lives in that pond. Her hair is black from the murky water with streaks of green algae, framing her face that has a winter pale glow. I continued to tell my mother how concerned I was for this lady and how I felt she needed me to visit her lonely soul. It would scare my mother. Although she knew that she wasn’t real, she had forbidden me from going near the pond, afraid I would jump in to see the lady and drown. I don’t have memories of my own of her, just what I built from my mother’s story. Which I only think of now since my mothers passing last week. I think of the barn owl flying freely. I think of the lady in the pond stuck here. Like I feel now, here in this house with my father and sister.

Van kidnapping, I was terrified!
This is a true story, so if you are sensitive to these types of stories I would click out of here if I was you. Just a warning. Nothing explicit will be motioned so you won't have to worry about that.

His supervisor may have told him that vacation time is about self care but Aaron believes that people go away on holiday just to feel good about coming back. Aaron slips on his stiff and starchy white lab coat with glee.

The Governor’s Ball
37 dead, and many others were clinging to life in comas or permanently blinded. They named the program Barn Owl because it was stealthy and brilliant. A software virus so frightening it did what parents, teachers, and mental health professionals tried to accomplish for decades -- keep us away from our electronics.

The Zombie Apocalypse Alarm System
"Sue, I've got an idea," Jared excitedly says to me. "What's your idea?" I ask, both curious and concerned about what his latest idea will be. I love Jared, but this last week has definitely tested our marriage in ways I never expected. Of course that'll happen when you're trying to survive the end of the world as you know it.
