Hello, I'm seeking a few beta-readers for a 30k collection of horror-stories, although some of them could also be seen as mystery-stories.
A few people have already looked at them and I've made multiple revisions, but I could still use feedback for the stories and would like to know if some of them could be made scarier.
Here's a short overview:
Carcerus (7k): The story of a man who is trapped in a house without exits. Even the windows prove to be unbreakable.
Hollow (4,5k): A man awakens from a coma and has the feeling that something is missing in his life.
Born In The Shadows (510): A man is chased by shadow-people.
What Lurks Beyond (5,5k): A group of kids decide to play hide-and-seek in an abandoned mansion.
Shadow of Jhola (5,2k): A man survives a grueling war, only to have his life fall apart while a strange creature appears in the woods.
Despicable Friend Zone (1,1k): A girl is chatting with an internet friend during a stormy night.
Haunted (2k): A somewhat true story about paranormal experiences in my house.
Obidiem (1,6k): It should have been a day like any other, but all life seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Only one ordinary man remains.
The Ritual Of Undoing (2,5k): Inspired by creepypasta-rituals, so not exactly a story.
