“I recently found a lead that might help in the search for my brother, William “Wills” Forte. A journal he had written, along with a cassette that was filled with what can only be described as very unusual field recordings. Kirk Hammett has agreed to quickly transpose the less complex portions of the cassette while ke...

We’ve got crows back at home. In my town we see them every day. Sometimes solo, sometimes in a group. I am well aware that a group of crows is referred to as a “murder” but despite this ominous label, they’re pretty shy and generally fly away at the first sign of danger. But the pair of big black birds circling the...

This story takes place back in my college days. Sophomore year to be specific. I had met my two friends Jin and Raquel in my freshman year in the underclassman dorm, as we all were in the same building. All three of us had been so thrilled when we had now that we had moved into the upperclassman dorms: better food, big...

This was my first encounter with the darker side of humanity and potentially my first encounter with the paranormal. This is the story of a nightmarish encounter I had as a young boy living in Japan. I was a very quiet child and often kept to myself. That's why I often walked home alone which in hindsight was not the ...
