Sometimes the tale tells you.
I’m Alfie Aston, New Hampshire-based author of uncanny tales. I’ve been writing weird fiction in one form or another for nearly thirty years, and I’m delighted to share the best of it with you here at Nightscribe. I try to publish new stories at least once a month.
If you like H. P. Lovecraft, Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, or the classic tales of r/nosleep, you’ll find something here to enjoy. I strive to create well-crafted tales full of dark corners, ancient secrets, and battles worth fighting.
And fun. Mustn’t forget the fun.
Enough about me. There’s something lurking over there in the shadows. What say we go have a look?
Hello, I am JosephTheSnail (also known as Joseph, or professionally as Joseph Arrington). I am the author of Burnt Luigi and Sammy the Cat, and the creator of the Five Nights at Prototype Fredbear’s fan game series. I also manage a secondary YouTube channel, JTS, where I produce structured content and original shows such as Joseph’s World.
I use this platform to share a curated selection of my work, including both well-known and lesser-known stories, as well as pieces that have been reposted or translated. I publish selectively based on what best fits this platform. While my work may not appeal to all audiences, I hope readers can find something they enjoy.
Not all of my work is available here. Additional stories can be found on the Spiral Nightmares site hosted by Miraheze, where requests may be submitted. My focus here is primarily on original works; retakes, media-heavy stories, and certain fanfiction are generally not accepted.
Kris West loves a good story (and hopes you do as well). Enjoys all things spooky and scary. You've heard his stuff on podcasts and YouTube. Loves a good falafel, Los Angeles (Go Dodgers), and The Simpsons. Bucket list trip: Machu Picchu. Parent of two amazing kids.
