Horror stories for LOCKDOWN.
Embrace
by Maura Yzmore
How long has it been? A century or two? Thanks to me, you’re not the worse for wear, yet my gift has always offended you.
I wonder why you asked to meet here, the place where you briefly loved me, where you said you wanted to be with me forever, then abandoned me with hatred and disgust after I’d made your wish possible.
My heart leaps as you embrace me.
Your arms fold behind my back. I feel you swiftly pull something out of your sleeve.
My head spins with the joy of your touch, the stake piercing me through.

The Party
by Pavi Raman
The Dardanellis threw the best Halloween parties in the neighbourhood. They were a charming couple, old school. So of course there were rumours. Everything from unholy rituals to BDSM.
The theme: vampires. Perfect with Paulo’s overbite and Sophia’s pale skin.
Paulo opened the door. Eerie silence filled the house.
“Party downstairs. The basement is soundproofed,” he explained, grinning.
“Kinky.”
“You have no idea.”
“Oh, but I do.”
We both laughed.
I seized him, tore his neck with my fangs.
The body tumbled down the stairs, and Sophia screamed.
I locked the basement door behind me.
This party was just beginning.
