Story of the Month — The Unboxing by Khala Grace
Once a month, someone gives in to the itch and opens the box. Inside? A story too stubborn to stay buried. It asked to be read—but no one asked what it would take in return.
“Streetlights shine through the fog like fireflies. A light drizzle taps the ground. A person appears on the scene and that person is... You. During your late stroll, a strange sight comes into view."

A Writing Workshop That Doesn’t Flinch
The Dark Holme Writers’ Workshop is your invitation to something bigger — a 100-week descent into the heart of craft, built for horror and dark fantasy writers who want more than tips and templates.
This is where you level up.
Where raw stories are shaped, scenes are sharpened, and voices are forged in the dark.
Each week, you’ll receive a focused workshop exploring a key technique — from vivid description and pacing dread to character psychology, historical layering, and genre-bending horror.
You’ll get exercises, structure, scene work, and the space to apply it all — alongside a growing creative community.
🩸 Built for horror and dark fantasy — but powerful across all genres
📄 9-page weekly PDF, downloadable and yours to keep
🕯️ Post your work in ShadowSphere for feedback and support
✍️ From prompts to peer critique, every week is designed to refine your craft
Exclusive to paid Dark Descent subscribers.
