Do Not Close the Circle: Hauntings at 3:13

By Nicholas Higgerson

At 3:13 a.m., the city remembers you.
Streetlights form near-circles with small, hungry mouths. Elevators ask for partners. Bridges lift for ferries that aren't on any map. Buses run routes that never existed. And if you don't leave a token behind-a coin, a line, a number everyone was taught to skip-you may not come back at all.

Do Not Close the Circle: Hauntings at 3:13 is a chilling collection of 22 horror stories, blending classic scares with an unsettling new mythology of urban dread.

The 3:13 cycle: a network of night-shift workers-dispatchers, signal techs, locksmiths, custodians-who discover that every municipal system has its own haunting, its own ritual, its own demand. Together, their stories form a city-sized ghost that only lives after midnight.

Count to thirteen. Don't skip the number. Don't close the circle.

Fans of The Haunting of Hill House, Annihilation, and The Fisherman will find a new obsession in these strange, procedural nightmares where bureaucracy itself becomes supernatural.
