Shades of Occult and Horror

• Witches, rituals, and cults, oh my! We’re peering into the dark corners and then seeing what peers back. Will it be bizarre or supernatural? The devil may be in the details, or did you call the devil to you? With an otherworldly focus you never know if astrology, alchemy, or natural magic will help or harm. But you must make the choice yourself for you are in control of your fate… or are you? Send us your occult horror story, where you never know if breaking the rules will hurt or save you. But can anything save you from yourself? Characters can include paranormal, human, alien etc while time period can be past, contemporary, future or anything in between. But protagonists should choose to enter a hidden world (not be accidentally thrust into it), pay the price for entry, and are either redeemed by later making the ‘correct’ moral choice or damned by not. Choose to send us your short occult horror story today…
