The Room Without Corners
A room existed with no corners, no shadows. Anyone who entered found their thoughts looping endlessly until faced directly. Some fled immediately. Others stayed long enough to understand themselves. The room didn’t trap people—it removed their escape routes.

5 True Crime/Horror Books that Will Scare You
I did not expect to read a lot of true crime books this time, because these kind of stories can be tough for me to get through.

Several of the other books were amazing horror tales that made my jaw drop, and I thought the concepts were executed to perfection.

Newspapers mentioned it rarely, and when they did, they used phrases like “ethical custodianship,” “end-of-life biometric preservation,” or “the Department of Terminal Records.”
