The Subtlety of Terror: A Short Horror Read by Christie Stratos
It's the quietest evils that are the most horrifying—their persistence, constant presence, and unyielding terror. Real horror flourishes in its perpetual infliction of fear.
Anatomy of a Darkened Heart
Abigail Delilah is the firstborn of three Whitestone children - and she is the most regretted.
But is it really her fault?
She can't help that the revelation of Father's wretched secret coincides with her birth. She can't help the fear she feels during Mother's psychological - and physical - assaults. As the shadows grow stronger over her soul and the noose of pain tightens around her neck, Abigail will find out which is stronger: her family's wicked assumptions about her or her true self.
Brotherhood of Secrets
"Brothers in the art of keeping secrets."
This is the mantra Mr. Locke's carefully chosen five employees must repeat together every day before starting work.
If you won't tell them your name for Locke and Keye's ledger, they'll find out. They have their ways--and many of them. Yes, these talented locksmiths can make a new lock and key set for you. They can even make a special padlock for a diary you never want to share with anyone. But just remember: when they make the lock, they keep a key--and it's only a matter of time until they use it.
Day by day, each of these young, single, alone-in-the-world workers is being molded into the family they crave. A family in which each member has his use toward an end he doesn't even know exists.
How do the brotherhood and the town's secrets interlock? Only Mr. Locke holds the key.
