As a reminder... this site is a place where you can have your best works published. If you don't make a good effort to address spelling, grammar and punctuation, then why should I make an effort to make corrections. The better your writing, the quicker I can publish it and the sooner it can become one of the best scary short stories.
And I do not accept any profanity nor religious references, and that includes OMG! If I find ANY religious references, bad language, or content unsuitable for a child, I will reject the content. If you find any email me
from here.
If you do a real fine job writing a scary story and find a picture that complements the story's idea or mood, I'll be happy to publish it and give it its own web page.
So get busy, but the story has to be good. Have a look around, plan and write your story, then come back here when you are ready.
Your spooky stories deserve their own web pages and you can get that job done right here.
You can upload your best work fast and, if it meets our simple quality standards, it will get its own web page so your friends and family can comment and vote on it, often the very same day.
Make it your best work... it could be on display. And when commenting on other stories, if you don't like a certain one, please be constructive, and leave the rude language behind.
