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?
