"Listen to them. The children of the night. What music they make..."
These are tributes to my favourite horror films and includes my crossover, House of Dark Shadows, and my most ambitious project, Nightmare on Elm Street: Innocent Demon, which is co-written by myself and Abri Isgrig.

Written by Diane N. Tran
Forty-five years ago.
During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless night of the coldest winter, on the Vigil of the Nativity, on the eve of Christmas, when the clouds hung oppressively low and heavy in the Heavens, the ethereal shadow of St. Dymphna's Psychiatric Hospital stood isolated and alone on a stark, stern landscape under a pall of desolate white, spattered alongside a few rank sedges and trunks of decayed trees. Yet despite the insufferable gloom and the deathly stillness of the snow and ice outside, there was no stil

Necropolis.
City of the Dead.
Never has there been a place so aptly named.
There was an idea of the City once — a glittering, beautiful, shining thing with hopes and dreams — but it was not meant to be. The Wars had changed that and left its imprint everywhere: The Plague devoured half the population. The oceans rose and swallowed much of the world. Land became a precious commodity. It was a City of Nightmares, of glass and steel that blossomed towards the perpetual darkness aloft and the noxious pollut

Refreshed and, above all, satisfied, the gardener relaxed back on the inclined mattress of his hospital bed, his eyes half-lidded, his breathing leisurely and content, and allowed his body to surrender to the gratification, albeit self-gratification, that washed over him. It had been a long, long while. But his peace did not last long, as he jerked awake at the sound of a knock at the door. Quickly tossing two balled up tissues into the wastebasket beside his bed, he covered up with the blankets.

He had awakened from a restless sleep at the cool, gentle touch of a hand, not his own, caressing his fevered brow. He could hear the steady beeps of the medical equipment around him and feel the slow drips of the IV tubing underneath his skin. Filling his lungs with air with a heavy amount of effort, the gardener shifted uneasily against the pillow and swallowed thickly a cough. His mouth was parched. His flesh felt hot and clammy. His entire body felt heavy, as if weighed down by boulders. Everything felt

"Meeowwr?"
Dressed in a tight pair of shabby overalls and striped shirt two sizes too large, his hair unkempt and in desperate need of a cut, a six-year-old boy sat on his knees in the playground sandbox at the Cincinnati Orphanage. His striking blue eyes studied a grey, scruffy-looking tabby cat that tip-toed towards him, as he held out an orange cheese puff to it. With a cautious sniff and a curious swing of its tail, the feline gawked at the boy for a moment wi

Written by Abri Isgrig and Diane N. Tran
For the rest of the night, Loretta didn't say a word to Freddy. She'd merely set his pillow and several blankets outside the closed door to the bedroom they shared. Freddy knew better than to protest. If the silent treatment would last for more than one night (and it had in the past), Freddy would sleep on the floor opposite the bedroom door, waiting for Loretta to let him in again. When it came to that point, Freddy couldn't help but feel like a dog that had been kicked but still craved its master's attention

Due to a complaint about its context, despite the lack of use of vulgar language and use of elegant descriptives, DeviantArt deleted Chapter III from my gallery; however, you can read it in full (uncensored) glory at Fanfiction.net:fanfiction.net/s/6407746/3/Innocent-Demon-Revised-EditionI apologize for the inconvenience.

"You, me, alone," grinned Freddy sinfully, laying out his easy charm unmitigatedly thick, like marmalade, while he curled his tongue under her ear. "Spread eagle between the Babies Alive and the Barbie Dream Houses. Faces lit. Bodies entwined. Our screams echoing across the halls. Whattaya say?"
"Tempting," Loretta forced back a moan, attempting to pull away before she did something she would really regret. "But the answer's no."

Weeding the last remnants of dead leaves and grass with a three-pronged fork, Freddy Krueger rested on his hands and knees while he stabbed a small spade into ground. Its surface was dried and cracked due to the heat of the summer sun, but the seasons were changing and autumn was approaching. It was a new school year at Badham Preschool, just a week in. He chiseled a hole and scooped through the rich soil that hid underneath before he dug another one beside it.
The man whistled to himself and feigned ignorance to the
