Insta-Spavento: Una breve storia spaventosa
by Storie Dalla Soffitta"Mia madre ha avuto questa festa alle Hawaii, ed è stata così, così incredibile. Hai visto i miei post su Instagram?” Leila sentì dire a Joanne mentre camminava attraverso i corridoi. “Ummm, certamente li ho visti, e stavo urlando in cima ai miei polmoni perché quelle immagini erano fantasticheeee " rispose Esther. "Hai guardato la pagina di Grace?” Rispose. "Loro hanno visitato Venice Beach” "Loro? Chi sono?” Esther alzò un sopracciglio. "Non vuoi dire?” "Chi altro? Lei e Jason. C'era questa foto in cui indossava solo un bikini e gli addominali di Jason erano infuocati. Qualche volta, vorrei che Mac fosse più maschile," Joanne ha detto appena prima che sbattesse la porta del suo armadietto e si diresse verso la classe di chimica. "Urghhhhhhh! Queste persone possono passare un giorno senza parlare delle loro stupide foto?” Leila disse sotto voce con le mani che stringevano il suo zaino. Mentre camminava attraverso il corridoio, il suo armadietto sembrava più lontano ad ogni passo più vicino. Lentamente, le mura cominciarono a chiudersi e il terreno si aprì. Leila non vedeva altro che nero. La vernice viola ora fredda, nera, le piastrelle uguali, le persone nella sala si sono trasformate in ossidiana, alieni appiccicosi e l'intero corridoio si è avvolto in cerchi. "Leila!” Stacy urlò e Leila uscì
Insta Scare
by Historias Del Ático―Mi madre tuvo esta fiesta en Hawái y fue tan, tan increíble. ¿Viste mis publicaciones en Insta? ―Leila oyó a Joanne decir mientras caminaba por los pasillos. ―Uhmm, definitivamente lo vi, y estaba gritando a todo pulmón porque esas fotos eran tiernas ―respondió Esther. ―¿Revisaste la página de Grace? ―ella respondió―. Ellos visitaron Playa Venecia. ―¿Ellos? ¿Quiénes son ellos? ―Esther levantó una ceja―. ¿No puedes decir? ―¿Quién más? Ella y Jason. Había una foto en la que ella solo tenía un bikini y los abdominales de Jason eran fuego. A veces, me gustaría que Mac fuera más masculino ―dijo Joanne justo antes de cerrar la puerta de su casillero y caminar hacia la clase de Química. ―¡Urghhhhhhh! ¿Pueden estas personas pasar un día sin hablar de sus tontas fotos? ―Leila dijo en susurro con sus manos agarrando su mochila. Mientras caminaba por el pasillo, su casillero parecía estar más lejos con cada paso más cerca. Lentamente, las paredes comenzaron a cerrarse y los terrenos se abrieron. Leila no podía ver nada más que negro. La pintura púrpura ahora fría, negra, las baldosas iguales, la gente en el pasillo se transformó en extraterrestres pegajosos y negros y todo el pasillo formaba círculos en espiral. ―¡Leila! ―Stacy gritó y Leila salió fuera de su imaginación.

A mind is a terrible thing to destroy . . . Kathy has been hired to assess the threat of patient Henry Banks, an inmate at the Connecticut-Newlyn Hospital for the Criminally Insane, the same hospital where her brother is housed.

As the days go by, and Leonard’s true intentions become clear, Bent will find himself venturing beyond the one terrifying boundary from which he can’t be sure he’ll ever return . . . the boundary of his own sanity.

A Innsmouth de Lovecraft
by Claudio Vergnani Elaine Beatriz de Sousa Pagliaro... se tratava simplesmente de acompanhar o professor Franco Brandellini - este é o nome do cliente - por mais ou menos uma semana a uma cidadezinha para turistas nas costas de Massachusetts, onde tinha sido reconstruída para uso e consumo dos tolos - esta era a explicação de Vergy - a Innsmouth do conto As sombras sobre Innsmouth de H.P. Lovecraft. O nome da estrutura era, em sua enorme originalidade, A Innsmouth de Lovecraft. "Em suma", explicou Vergy, "construíram esta espécie de Disneylândia para adultos que retrata fielmente a cidade do conto. Casebres, cabanas, hotel nojento, a igreja da ordem daquele... como se chamava a porra daquela espécie com escamas com o qual os habitantes fechavam o pacto blasfemo?" Fiz minha memória voltar aos tempos da escola. "Dagon, diria. Um capitão do lugar que havia estado em alguma localidade exótica o tinha contatado. Ali, ele soube sobre esta criatura que, pelo preço módico de um sacrifício humano, garantiria peixe, ouro e mulher por todos os anos vindouros." "Sim, certo, uma coisa assim. Ah! você vai gostar dessa. Pelas ruas andam algumas pessoas fantasiadas como os habitantes da história. Alguns miseráveis raquíticos que caminham trôpegos, fedem a peixe e no lugar do rosto tem uma grande máscara de bacalhau ou algo do gênero. Bem, agora você não vai acreditar, mas parece que há pelo mundo um bom número de apaixonados por essa coisa e o nosso professor é um deles. E quer dar um pulo lá para aproveitar-se de tanta beleza. Você e eu precisamos acompanhá-lo e protegê-lo. Do quê, eu não saberia te dizer." "Parece uma tarefa exequível." "É. O problema é que diziam o mesmo sobre o desembarque na Normandia."
