Nevermore Files: Short Story Collection Volume One
by Spectral
Published 2025
0/5
Read the first five short stories in the Nevermore Files. These older tales offer chills, thrills, and some weird decision-making. While not all stories are canon anymore, each one is a pillar of what the Megaverse and Earth-Prime, the location where all of these stories take place, would later become.  We explored an abandoned house down the street. I am the only one who came back: Follow a group of friends as they explore an abandoned house in a small town.  I can hear breathing when I sleep: A man has a strange visitor in his bed at night.  I went to a carnival yesterday and found God. Do not go to the Mayfield Carnival: A man agrees to be buried alive for money. Little does he know that he will be getting more than he bargained for.  Today, I saw something seeping into our World: John’s family buys a clock from a business that is going under. It is the worst decision that his father ever made.  The Eyes Outside: A man has an unwanted meeting with a gargoyle.  I Saw Something in my kitchen last night. Now I need Answers: A man finds a creature raiding his fridge late at night.  I am Richard C. Hathorn, the last surviving worker involved in Project Merge. I need to tell my story before it’s too late: Richard Hathorn tries to speak about a project he worked on in his youth.
