When the Whistling Starts… Don’t Answer
Dare to read a free story from the latest Dark Descent: Whispers From Beyond (Vol. 14). July’s winning tale, The Whistle by Tasarla Romaney, drifts from the ravine where a sound—low, sweet, impossible—waits for anyone bold enough to listen. Some say it steals breath. Others say it takes more. Step onto the bridge and decide for yourself. One warning: whatever you do… don’t whistle back.
