description: A cemetery full of the restless dead. A town so wicked it has already burned twice, with the breath of the third fire looming. A rural, isolated bridge with a terrifying monster waiting for the completion of its summoning ritual. A lake that allows the drowned to return, though they have been changed by the claws of death. These are the shadowed, liminal spaces where the curses and monsters lurk, refusing to be forgotten.Hauntings, and a variety of horrifying secrets, lurk in the places we once called home. Written by New York Times bestselling, and other critically acclaimed, authors these stories shed a harsh light on the scariest tales we grew up with.Stay / Erica WatersThe tallest poppy / Chloe GongLoved by all, save one / Tori BovalinoOne-lane bridge / Hannah WhittenGhost on the shore / Allison SaftPetrified / Olivia ChadhaThird burn / Courtney GouldIt stays with you / Aden PolydorosTruth or dare / Alex BrownThe burning one / Shakira Toussaint
