Midnight Timetable: A Novel in Ghost Stories
by Bora Chung
When the Institute's newest employee arrives for their first night shift, they begin to see why some workers don't last long in the job. Things and people seem to change in these dimly lit halls, where those who open he wrong door might find it's disappeared behind them or that the echoing footsteps they're running from are their own. Not everyone is suited to the work of protecting the Institute's strange artifacts. Equal parts bone-chilling, wryly funny, and deeply political, Midnight Timetable is a masterful work of literary horror from one of our time's greatest imaginations.

Darker Days
by Thomas Olde Heuvelt
Bird Street is a special place. The residents of this cul-de-sac on the edge of the woods are all successful, healthy, and happy. But come November, the "Darker Days" descend, bringing accidents, bad luck, conflict, and illness. Families prepare for this, and so do their children. In November, a stranger appears to collect - a sacrifice must be made in exchange for the good fortune they enjoy the rest of the year. So it has been for over a century. The residents of Bird Street choose carefully who will be sent into the woods. Usually, it is an elderly or terminally ill individual who wishes to die and is content to be helped on their way. But this year, events take a terrifying turn.

The Wax Child
by Olga Ravn
In seventeenth-century Denmark, Christenze Kruckow, an unmarried noblewoman, is accused of witchcraft. She and several other women are rumored to be possessed by the Devil, who has come to them in the form of a tall headless man and gives them dark powers: they can steal people's happiness, they have performed unchristian acts, and they can cause pestilence or even death. They are all in danger of the stake. The Wax Child, narrated by a wax doll created by Christenze, is an unsettling horror story about brutality and power, nature and witchcraft, set in the fragile communities of premodern Europe.
