Cabin
Some cabins whisper secrets; this one screams them.
Deep in the heart of the forest lies a cabin, its timbers rotting and its shadows alive with untold horrors. Once a refuge, it now feeds on the fears and sins of those who dare to approach. Within its splintered walls, desperation sparks unholy bargains, childhood dares awaken ancient evils, and the echoes of past lives linger, unwilling to let go.
In this anthology of spine-chilling tales, masterful storytellers weave unforgettable horrors inspired by the cabin's relentless pull. From vengeful spirits to sinister creatures lurking in the cracks, each story peels back the layers of decay to reveal terror waiting to claim its next victim.
Step inside—if you dare. But not everyone leaves the cabin whole...if they leave at all.
