About

Urban legends are unavoidable. From college campus to unlit road, they cling to our lives. Did you hear about the librarian who died, right here, and now haunts the halls at night? Satanists haunt these woods. Never stop for anyone. Not on this highway. If you’re very quiet here, and listen to the wind, you’ll hear her scream “MY BABY” Running though these small-town myths are a shot of the horrible: ghouls, ghosts, cryptids, revenants, secret societies, and occult knowledge. But are such cases true, or the work of humans looking to disguise their own murders? Your task, should you choose to accept it, is to combine urban legends and murder mysteries.
