Horror Stories That Aren’t Scary

When the brakes of the last subway train shriek through the silence, the morgue elevator stops on its own at three in the morning, the reflection in a department store fitting-room mirror starts counting your buttons, and someone knocks on your rented apartment door like clockwork on rainy nights... The details everyone overlooks are beginning to fester: an extra knuckle suddenly appearing in the mirror, a faint wail at the end of the corridor, a mark on an old keepsake that is still wet. They are all hidden doors in the midst of ordinary life. Have a light ready before you start reading, because at the end of every story, there is a light you'll have to put out yourself.
