Don't Fall Asleep Blood Bound Books

Tonight, class is in session! And not everything is as it seems.

I know some of you may be feeling anxious about horror that takes place in school—especially given the state of affairs today, but not to worry. We may go to some dark and macabre places on this channel, but we won’t be going THAT dark.

No, the horror here comes from not from the marauder skulking around school grounds, but from the two men in suits who show up after the alarms sound. The men who were dispatched to handle the problem, but are anything BUT normal themselves.

This story is called “Something terrible happened at my school, but no one else seems to care.” And was written by nomass39

Tonight, we’ll explore a children’s game with a dark secret!

Nestled deep among hills and evergreen trees, there rests a quiet town with a curse. Once every decade or so, a strange song reemerges among the children in the schoolyard, and in its wake-- disappearances. Surely a coincidence, right? But, hark! Can you hear the haunting melody floating on the breeze? It’s been about ten years since Jimmy Smythe disappeared, and I’m thinking there might be something to this Patchwork Man after all…

This story is called: Does anyone remember the rhyme about the Patchwork Man? And the picture game? And was written by Quincy Lee….

Tonight, I have a real treat to share with you!

It’s no secret that I’m a fan of Edgar Allan Poe’s short stories; I’ve done several here on the channel already. I find that as I get older and revisit these stories, I appreciate them more and more, and find new things that delight and impress me each time I read them! I also find I can connect to the stories themselves more easily as my experience in the world grows. Allow me to set the stage for this story: A great and terrible disease—called the Red Death-- is sweeping across a medieval land. The prince of this land has decided that, rather than give aid of any kind, he would rather call up his closest…erm, 1000 friends, and wall all of them inside a secluded abbey. No one can get in, and no one can get out. There, they plan to party and wait it out, while the disease rages outside.

All is well; the wine is flowing, the guests are dancing and mingling at an opulent masquerade ball, until a new guest arrives, dressed horribly as a victim of the Red Death.

This story is called “The Masque of the Red Death”, and was written by Edgar Allan Poe.

Tonight, we’ll take a relaxing walk along the beach!

Our story opens as a young man takes a pause during his run down by the ocean.

As he decides to head back resume his routine, he meets 2 young ladies. They warn him to stay away from the water at low tide, because there have been many disappearances over the years as the tide has rolled out.

Of course, he dismisses their warning at first. But he quickly becomes a believer, when the first hand grabs his ankle from within the mud.

Apologies for the week delay!



Tonight, we’ll stay true to our tagline, and have an episode of the macabre!

Let me set the scene: deep in the heart of a prestigious New England college, we find a medical student working alone in the crematorium. Having just lost their grandfather, our student was given the job of caretaker while they’re on a leave of absence from classes. Despite what you and I might feel, the student enjoys the work there, and finds it comforting to stay busy.

But that sense of safety is broken one night when a particularly strange cadaver arrives, and voices begin to whisper from the flames of the cremation chamber…

This story is called “They Spoke Through the Fire”, and was written by Chomps_Lewis.

Tonight, we find ourselves bedside, regaled with a story of the OLD days!

Our scene opens in an assisted living facility, where our protagonists—a son and his father—sit together for a visit. All seems normal enough, until a moment of clarity comes across the father, and he tells a tale so frightening and so impossible that it can’t be true! But if there IS a kernel of truth to the yarn, then both men may find themselves the target of a malicious force undeterred by distance or time.

This story is called “The Pit”, and was written by A.G. Hilton
