Whatever was in the house with her liked the dark.

Beneath our way of life lied this truth: When ill-tempered gods demand a sacrifice, it's best not to linger.

Why, thank you.

I noticed that many of the lines subbed here were wry-to-humorous, but I like my horror straight-up eerie.

Ever since Paul was a little boy, he liked to play with blood.

Whatever it was, it looked like it was spreading.

Victoria · Apr 26, 2011

The empty cradle rocked in the darkness, the creaking of the old wood the only sound in the room.

Rebekah7 · Apr 29, 2011

The shadow curled into the corner, the taste of child still on it lips.

FOTSGreg · Apr 29, 2011

The cradle lurked, silent in its corner, still savoring its latest meal...

(sorry, Rebekah, I couldn't resist because that line was very evocative)

Samantha, Sam for short, gave her heart as collateral when she checked in.

What do they say?

Thump · May 1, 2011

Ever since she was a little girl, she had dreamed of bathing in a tub full of blood - just not her own.

Detri Redmond · May 1, 2011

No one had to tell her that was blood flowing from the confessional, she could hear the flesh being ripped apart inside.

Thump · May 1, 2011

The money had been good enough to turn a blind eye on the murders but when the creature started going after puppies, Detective Allegory Jones knew she had to come clean.

Reservoir Angel · May 1, 2011

"The damn thing's here! It's in the house, I know it is. Nobody believes me, they can't see it, but I can. It's all I can see!"

GlobalWolf · May 1, 2011

When the fish looked up out of the carp pond and smiled at her with suspiciously human-like teeth, Janet began to suspect that she was going mad.

Rebekah7 · May 1, 2011

Robert watched the blood swirl down the drain, making little pictures with his toe as he scrubbed himself clean.

It's not like I want to kill anyone, but I can't stop running into people who want to be killed.

Oh I love that!

Here's one of mine:

Darkness and shadows crouched and waited for her.

"Read on!"

Robyn · May 4, 2011

Images of twisted metal swam around her, the mixture of gasoline and blood overwhelming her senses.

Aaron Wilder · May 5, 2011

Adam wasn't certain, but deep down part of him knew that the ten people he had forwarded the email to were dead.

Laura_6 · May 9, 2011

The kitchen door swung closed, but the scent lingered, partly sweet, partly sour, a fruity cocktail of blood and decay.
