The title card of a short paranormal horror story “The Night of Crimson Waters” on the Into Ekhypso Substack by MK Moretti. The background image is a blurred photo of a drop rippling through water lit by red light.
“The streets ran red with blood. It slithered between cobblestones, unable to congeal for the rain that diluted it. It puddled in the potholes, where hasty steps sent it splattering on the sides of buildings, only to be washed away again.” -The Night of Crimson Waters by M.K. Moretti
The title card of a dark fantasy and cosmic horror short story “When Facing Angels” on the Into Ekhypso Substack by MK Moretti. Image shows a single candle burning warmly in the darkness.
“Was it possible to be haunted by something you never knew? He felt it at the edges of his awareness. It taunted him like a word on the tip of his tongue, slipping through his teeth before it could be spoken. It mocked him in each breath before a hymn began, offering the promise of a different tune. One he didn’t know, had never heard, and couldn’t conjure. One that haunted him.” -When Facing Angels by M.K. Moretti
