In the midst of a terrible war, there existed an ordinary town called Dewdrop. It was not unlike any other towns in that region; it had its fair share of joy and sorrow, peace and strife. People lived their lives quietly and unobtrusively, with little thought for the world beyond their borders. But beneath this tranquil surface, something dark and sinister lurked. An ancient curse had been cast upon Dewdrop many centuries ago by a vengeful king who was betrayed by his own people.

I'm an accomplished author who writes in a style reminiscent of Edgar Allan Poe and Stephen King, and my latest creation is indeed a horror story about a haunted house.

The story shall take place near or around a small town, perhaps one with its fair share of eerie folklore and legends - an ideal setting for a tale of terror and suspense. The protagonist's name will be normal-sounding, yet mysterious enough to…

Once upon a time, I was just another historian, obsessed with ancient Egyptian mythology and its macabre tales.

The legend stated that the ghost rode his steed with a severed head in place of its own, always seen but never touched. I became preoccupied with this tale of horror, convinced it…
