3. Lacrimosa by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

Ramon hasn’t contacted home in over ten years, now that he’s in Vancouver and started a new life for himself. But the ghosts, and ghost stories, of his childhood have come to haunt him. He can’t seem to get away from the old woman in white who closely resembles La Llorona, the myth that drowned her children and roams in search of them.

4. A Collapse of Horses by Brian Evenson

An accident has rendered our narrator quite unreliable and confused as to whether his house is growing or changing and how many children he actually has. He is half convinced the head trauma is to blame…but is it?

5. Patient Zero by Tananarive Due

Jay is a special kid—so special that his immunity to a certain virus has led to a sheltered life inside the safety of a hospital. So sheltered, in fact, that the staff protects him from what’s really going on outside those walls.

6. In the Cave of the Delicate Singers by Lucy Taylor

A caver with a form of synesthesia who can feel sound waves embarks on a rescue mission in a cave that isn’t just dangerous because of natural elements. Not for the claustrophobic.

7. The Ash of Memory, the Dust of Desire by Poppy Z. Brite

A couple in the dying throes of their relationship find themselves in an abandoned and forgotten industrial part of town, all in the name of keeping a very important appointment with a shady medical professional. Nominated for a Bram Stoker Award.
