7 Days Series [Horror]

Everyone has their fates connected to their birthdays, they are likely to have psychic abilities specifically connected to ‘something’. Some can sense it while some cannot, depending on what they have committed in the past. Mystery, Death, Foolishness, and Greed are the things attracting the evil spirits to be around. Those who were born on Sunday… “Ward: Labor Tomb” If you see ‘the pregnant,’ please beware; they are there to take your head. Those who were born on Monday… “Mirror: Who’s the First to Die of Them All?” After midnight where mirrors are, ‘mysterious things’ will appear. Those who were born on Tuesday… “Haunted: Mystery of Plumeria House” Stay away from ‘bathrooms’, if you wish to stay alive. Those who were born on Wednesday… “Theater: Book Me a Death Ticket” When people born on this day go to a funeral, they tend to witness bad events. Those who were born on Thursday… “Stairs: 12 Steps...Ghost Staircase” At night, do not look at the stairs, or else something might be there. Those who were born on Friday… “Reality: Dare the Living, Discover the Dead” There is a game for the living, but noted that it might take their lives. Those who were born on Saturday… “Holy: Soul Sacrifice to Spirit’s House” The ancient saying goes: think before you speak, as something the eyes cannot see does not mean it is not real. Every inconsiderate action must be traded with the living, and only death is the answer! One question… What day were you born on…?

One of the best is 'The Tell - Tale Heart' by Edgar Allan Poe. It's a classic that delves into the mind of a madman. The narrator's paranoia and the slow - building tension are what make it so great. Another is 'The Monkey's Paw' which has a very eerie and foreboding atmosphere. It shows how simple wishes can have terrifying consequences. And 'The Yellow Wallpaper' is also excellent. It uses the setting of a room with yellow wallpaper to create a sense of claustrophobia and madness.

One great one is 'The Call of Cthulhu' by H.P. Lovecraft. It combines elements of science fiction with horror. The idea of an ancient, powerful, and otherworldly being waiting to rise again creates a sense of dread. Another is 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' by Harlan Ellison. It's set in a post - apocalyptic world where a malevolent supercomputer torments the last remnants of humanity. The psychological horror and the exploration of what it means to be human in such a situation are very engaging.

The best short horror stories are effective because they play on our deepest fears. Take 'The Monkey's Paw'. The fear of getting what we wish for in a horrible way is something that many people can relate to. They also use atmosphere well. In 'The Masque of the Red Death', the descriptions of the different rooms and the overall setting build a tense and spooky atmosphere.
