Month of Fear Challenge 04- Recurring Nightmare
As a child there was nothing scarier to me than the “Chupacabras”, every night for about a period of 2 years there was “Chupacabra” sightings almost every other night. During that time, I would go to bed thinking that when I woke I’d find my dogs dead in our yard, with their blood sucked dry.
Month of Fear Challenge 03- My Favorite Horror Story
My favorite horror story is easily “El Almohadon de Plumas” (The Feather Pillow) by Horacio Quiroga. It’s the story of a young newly wed couple, were the bride falls suddenly ill after their honey moon and becomes completelt bed-ridden. After some months she passes away, when one of the maids goes to clean the now empty room she makes a terrifying discovery.
I won’t spoil the story for you all, since I can’t tell a story quite like Quiroga can. You can read the english translation of the story here.

Hope you find it as creepy as I did.
Month of Fear Challenge 02- Recurring Nightmare
My recurring nightmare has always consisted of my teeth starting to crumble in my mouth, and slowly crunch on them in horror before spitting them out.
Month of Fear Challenge 01- What Lives Under Your Bed
I've never really had anything live under my bed, since I've never had a under the bed. But growing up in our single story home in Puerto Rico, my bed was next to the windows, which were covered by plastic vertical blinds. Two of the blinds had fallen off and were never replaced, leaving a clear view of the dark small alley in our yard. I would always wake up in the middle of the night and stare into the sliver of window space dreading to see something or someone staring back at me. We had a lot of burglars and stories of chupacabras running around during my childhood, which didn't help ease my nerves.
