Those Nights in January [Plus Commentary]

A horror story about a man who lives in a large, empty house where he is haunted by the sounds and voices of the past. It all starts one night when he hears the creaky old swing in the yard make a sound by itself. He refuses to accept (or do anything about) what is lurking in the house. What would you do in his situation? After the story, we have a short commentary section where Edwin gives you some additional background of the story and reads and responds to some of the comments on our last story, Soup Mondays.

Soup Mondays

Two creepy horror stories around our dark winter theme. In the first, Soup Mondays, a family had a strange Christmas tradition that involved spending time with loved ones in a bizarre way. Our second story, Night at the Mall, is about two security guards who are bored out of their minds patrolling an old mall that nobody likes to visit. It all changes one night when they witness a sighting that they still, to this day, cannot explain.

Door Wide Open: Two Short Creepy Stories

In these scary stories, a roommate has a strange habit of keeping the door wide open even while she sleeps. Is it to keep invite something in, or to let something out? In our second creepy story, "Veronica", a writer talks about a gift, a lonely doll that sits on his bookshelf. An object, he says, that may hold a type of power that he's only beginning to discover.

A Creepy Story from Childhood: Don’t Open the Door, Kid

A scary story about when you’re a kid, and the nights feel endless. The nights when you're counting the hours until your mom returns from her midnight shift. The rules were always the same: don’t open the door, don’t answer the phone. Simple enough, until the silence of the trailer park stretched too long, and the shadows outside seemed to move on their own. The only comfort came from a red light shining through the window, a glow that cut through the dark like a watchful eye. But that light couldn’t keep everything away. Memories of liquor store parking lots, strangers passing by, and voices that didn’t belong begin to blur with the stillness of the night. This is a creepy story about childhood fear that stays long after you’ve grown up. It’s about the way certain knocks on the door, certain voices in the dark, can stay with you forever. Don’t Open the Door, Kid is a story of patience, memory, and the things that wait outside when you’re not ready to face them. 👉 Subscribe for weekly updates, behind-the-scenes secrets, and exclusive extras:: https://bio.scary.fm/ Find Edwin on Facebook, Tiktok, and Instagram as @edwincov
