THE HAUNTING OF

HARROWSTONE

By Michael Kortes

The Saffron House

Few know the tale of this abandoned

manor, but all who rediscover the

residence soon recognize its lingering

wrongness. Some blame their uneasiness

on the claustrophobic layout, the moldy

furniture covers, or the skittering in the

walls. But others claim something sinister

haunts the hidden wreck, a foulness

embodied by the nauseating shade of

yellow staining every surface, inspiring

both repulsion and obsession. Does some

evil evidence linger in that malarial hue,

or could it be a glimpse of something

greater—something that hungers?

The Starving Spectre

Jains Cobermain feared nothing more than

being buried alive. The startlingly

corpulent grave tender even

designed his own coffin, complete

with devices to warn those above

should he be mistakenly interred. Yet

when he passed on, his miserly brother

buried him on the cheap in a plain pine

box. None can say whether Cobermain

was truly dead when he was buried, but

his hungry spirit now roams Ardagh’s

Lanternwatch Cemetery, a horrifying spectre

clad in the fleshy tatters of one who slowly

starved within the grave.
