You need creepy stories during October, right? Well here are some free ones that will take only a few minutes to peruse – but will hopefully unsettle you, just the same.

I love taking part in the Ladies of Horror flash picture prompts each month – these are some of my more recent additions. Be sure to check out Nina’s entire blog for more fun!
