Calls After Midnight

Monica Weed enjoyed her newly acquired antique telephone, until she began receiving telephone calls from the dead.

The retro look of her office pleased her and Monica was happy. Until the phone rang. She had not hooked it up, so it was not possible for anyone to call her on it. But the phone rang and rang. Then a ghost from the past spoke to her.

Calls After Midnight is not a story to tell in the dark. Especially if there is a phone anywhere nearby.

Telling spooky stories around the campfire is a traditional way to enjoy a summer's evening. There is something about the chirping of crickets and hooting owls that create a yearning to have the stuffing scared out of you. So go ahead, read this scary horror story aloud to your companions around the campfire. If you dare.

The dark fantasy tale collection, Ten Tales From the Flea Market, includes this spooky story.
