Super-short horror story about a girl, the guy she brings home with her that she thinks is nice but really isn't, and her awesome stuffed teddy bear. I enjoyed this one a lot.

Well, this was a tad revolting for certain reasons. Sometimes a girl's Teddy is the only thing she can trust ..... and sometimes people who need it most get their comeuppance in a big way. A girl's never too big to have a Teddy! ;)

This was another very weird short story from this author. I actually liked the twist (a very obvious one from the title) this time, and found it quite interesting.

Dope stuff!

The Teddy was a short story yet awesome with the lovable best friend and being a stuff animal. You would expect a harmless toy, but don't be fooled! I truly love the story amazing work Mr. Poage!

I read this story and Tree Of Souls today. Sure made me forget about my problems for awhile! Teddy is about a woman and a guy she just met recently. Second date. First of all meeting ppl at bars is stupid and after you read this story you'll really believe that! its a fast paced story that'll keep u hooked til the end! its about a sweet girl, a guy that doesn't take no for an answer, and a teddy bear! Great story! This is another one of these stories of Bradley's I'd love t see as a novel .... Dig a lil deeper in the girls past growing up, her grandma and a particular religion they share, it would be an awesome novel. But don't get me wrong, this is an excellent short story the way it is!

“Teddy” by Bradley Poage is my most recent read in Bradley’s “Bedtime Tales of Horror” series, and it was a good one. As with many of Bradley’s tales in this series, “Teddy” gives you a strong hint as to what might happen next, then he twists it all around for the surprise ending.

“Teddy” is one of those stories in which you will root really hard for the bad guy to get beaten. Unfortunately, I’m not going to tell you if he does! Read the story to find out. You will enjoy the tale.

“You have a teddy bear?”
“He’s been my best friend since I made him as a kid with my grandma.”


Erin is dating Justin. And she has a really good feeling about him.

Her closest confidant, and best friend, is Teddy—her stuffed teddy bear. He’s super cute…but sometimes his eyes turn red 😈

Could Justin be the one? And, if he is, will Teddy accept him?

The night out with Justin goes very well…until it doesn’t.

Hand injury. The voodoo paraphernalia in the bathroom…

…and Erin has a protector.

The spell…

Very cool. Fun and vicious story that also has some sweetness. 🧸 🩸 🔪 🩸 🥰 🧸


But as he gazed up, he found the creature on the bed spread, staring at him. His knife was in the paw. It was the teddy bear.
