Hi everyone,
This month's story is a tale of a socially awkward and lonely guy, seeking to improve his social skills with some other-worldly assistance.
It is called The Gathering
https://writeronthestorm.wordpress.co...Supposed spiritual rituals, incantations and grimoires fascinate me and they rarely fail to provide a scare because, we just don't know if there is a world beyond our own and that element of doubt manifests itself brilliantly if you've ever tried anything like this yourself, e.g, a Ouija board.
There's a great book on this subject that covers many of these, including the one referenced in this story. It's called Dangerous Games to Play in the Dark by Lucia Peters.
Here's a link:
