About Terrible Stories
Original scary stories, micro-horror and campfire tales.
Terrible Stories is a home for original horror fiction: stories short enough to finish before you lose your nerve, and good enough to remember when the lights go out. We publish two-sentence horror, short stories to read in one sitting, and campfire tales gentle enough for younger listeners.
What we publish
- Micro-horror: complete stories in a sentence or two.
- Short horror stories: original fiction you can read in under fifteen minutes.
- Campfire and kids’ stories: spooky, not scary, and made for reading aloud.
