Story Recommendation: The Empty House A famous 1906 ghost story by British author Algernon Blackwood, often featured in his collection The Empty House and Other Ghost Stories. It follows Shorthouse and his aunt as they investigate a notoriously haunted house in London, experiencing terrifying supernatural manifestations. Movie Review: Monster House A 2006 American animated supernaturalhorror comedy film. Dear Salinger, Your mom told me about Monster House scaring you. It sounds like one of the things that upset you is the fact that the house kept wanting to hurt people even after nobody wanted to hurt it anymore. I will tell you a secret that sounds so silly, you might not believe it, but this is true: I never finished writing Monster House before my bosses turned it into a movie. And then different writers, people I don't even know, changed the story in lots of ways, and the movie that you saw was not the story I wanted to tell you. I think a good story, even if it is sad or scary while you're watching it, should always make you a little less scared after you've seen it. And that didn't happen in Monster House. Why, after they escaped the house, did that old man tell them another scary story about a mean fat lady that didn't make very much sense either? I'll tell you why. Because Gil Kenan is a hack and Steven Spielberg is a moron. But hey, I shouldn't be dumping this stuff on you. I hope one day I can finish writing a movie that they don't change so much, and if you see it, I hope it makes you happy. Until then, I heard that Wall-E is very good, you should go see that. And next time Monster House is on, just remember that the guy that wrote it told you it was dumb. -Dan Haarmon Check out this link to buy DB's Books[link]

"The Facts in the Case of M. Valdemar" is a short story by the American author Edgar Allan Poe about a mesmerist who puts a man in a suspended hypnotic state at the moment of death. An example of a tale of suspense and horror, it is also to a certain degree a hoax, as it was published without claiming to be fictional, and many at the time of publication (1845) took it to be a factual account. Poe admitted it to be a work of pure fiction in letters to his correspondents. Check out this link to buy DB's Books[link]

"The Damned Thing" is written in four parts, each with a comical subtitle. The story begins in Hugh Morgan's cabin, where local men have gathered around the battered corpse of Hugh Morgan to hold an inquest concerning his death. William Harker, a witness to the death, enters and is sworn in by the coroner to relate the circumstances. William reads a prepared statement about a hunting and fishing outing undertaken with Morgan. He and Morgan encountered a series of disturbances that Morgan referred to as "that damned thing". During the last encounter, Morgan fired his gun in fear, then fell to the ground and cried out in mortal agony. Harker saw his companion moving violently and erratically, while shouting and making disturbing cries. He thought Morgan was having convulsions because he didn't appear to be under attack. By the time Harker reached Morgan, Morgan was dead. The coroner states that Morgan's diary contains no evidence in the matter of his death. A juror implies that Harker's testimony is symptomatic of insanity, and Harker leaves the inquest in anger. The jury concludes that Morgan was killed by a mountain lion. The story becomes epistolary in nature, detailing entries from Morgan's diary. The journal covers the events leading up to Morgan's death as he becomes aware of an invisible creature that he is hunting. He infers that it lacks color or has a color that renders it invisible, but, to make sure he is not insane, he plans to invite Harker with him when he hunts "the damned thing".

”The Repairer of Reputations” is a short story by Robert W. Chambers from The King in Yellow collection, featuring an unreliable narrator, Hildred Castaigne, who believes he is an heir to an American dynasty in a dystopian, near-future 1920s America. After a head injury, he seeks out a mysterious ”Repairer of Reputations,” Mr. Wilde, to restore his family's name, but his delusions intertwine with the forbidden play The King in Yellow, blurring the lines between reality, madness, and a dark, fascistic future.  Key aspects of the story: Unreliable Narrator: The story is told from Hildred Castaigne's perspective, but his head injury and obsession with The King in Yellow make his account of events questionable.  Dystopian Setting: It depicts an alternate 1920s America with underground roads, a centralized government, and a new aristocracy, which some readers interpret as a fascist vision.  The King in Yellow: The play within the story is a central motif, with reading past the second act being linked to insanity, though the narrator claims to have read it without going mad.  Mr. Wilde: The titular ”Repairer of Reputations” is a strange figure who helps ruined men, but his own sanity and motives are unclear.  Themes: It explores madness, power, conspiracy, and the nature of reality, all within the larger, cosmic horror framework of The King in Yellow.     Check out this link to buy DB's Books[link] Season 22 bonus episodes 65-88 # Name Author Description 65 The Fall of the House of Usher Edgar Allan Poe A gothic tale of a decaying family, a decaying mansion, illness, obsession, and a terrible burial mistake. 66 What Was It?
