In the Beginning by Tyhitia Green
14 juni 2019 · 27 min
This week’s story is one from Tythitia Green. Tyhitia writes horror, fantasy, and science fiction, and sometimes dabbles in other genres. She began writing poetry as a child and ventured into fiction years later. She enjoys writing both novels and short stories, and her work has appeared in Necrotic Tissue, Lightspeed, and Nightmare magazines. Lees meer
I love a good story about a strained relationship—especially one with a twist, and In the Beginning delivers on both counts. What would it take to make you abandon your partner? What would you do for them? How much pain would you endure? This story asks that and more.
So sit back, turn out the lights, and enjoy In the Beginning by Tythitia Green.

Conjurer's Revenge by Charles W. Chesnutt
11 september 2018 · 30 min
Hi. I’m Tonia Thompson, writer and creator of NIGHTLIGHT: The Black Horror Podcast. Lees meer
This week, we have another story from Charles Chesnutt. Charles was the first widely recognized Black American fiction writer. Like The Gray Wolf’s Ha’nt, this story is also from his collection: Conjure Woman.
The Conjurer’s Revenge is one of my favorite stories of the collection, but truly, all of his stories are excellent. In a time when most African Americans were writing about the harsh life of Black people in America, Charles wrote--and preserved--our traditions. Fiction can be a luxury in difficult times, and at a time when Black people were fighting for their very lives, Charles Chesnutt saw the role fiction could play in healing a nation. And, for that, I am thankful.
And now, Conjurer’s Revenge by Charles Chesnutt.
The Conjurer’s Revenge on Project Gutenberg
