Barnaby: A Possession Horror

By Dillon Demaine

The coastal Maine town of Whalebone is rotting from inside its walls.

The Ashford family came here to heal. Hallin, their only son, is losing his blood to an illness no doctor can name. His mother, Mary, carries the weight of a dozen sleepless nights. His father, Stew, is already pretending the floor is softening beneath his boots.

In a dusty curiosity shop, Mary finds Barnaby - an antique mohair bear with glass eyes. Hallin is fading. She buys it.

That night, the house changes. The wallpaper weeps. The walls groan like something heavy is breathing on the other side. The bear is no longer where Mary left it.
