About the author
Corvin E. Blacke writes dark, atmospheric horror rooted in forgotten roads, isolated places, old warnings, and the uneasy feeling that some things are better left undisturbed. His stories favor slow-building dread over shock for shock’s sake, following ordinary people who discover that the world is a little stranger, older, and more dangerous than they believed.
From roads that should not exist to legends that refuse to stay buried, Corvin’s fiction lives in the space between what can be explained and what probably shouldn’t be. He is drawn to folklore, supernatural mysteries, remote landscapes, and the moment a familiar place becomes something else entirely.
Some roads remember.

HELLHOUND
Ethan Raines left the mountain years ago and built a life far from the place that had always felt wrong.
Then his uncle Silas dies, and Ethan comes home.
What waits for him is more than an empty house and old memories. There are tracks too large to belong to any ordinary animal. A chain dragging through the darkness. A bark where nothing should be standing. And a warning Silas left behind that Ethan is only beginning to understand.
The deeper Ethan digs into what happened to his uncle, the clearer one thing becomes.
Whatever lives in those mountains remembers him.
And this time, it knows he came back.

The Road That Found Her
Some roads are meant to take you home.
Others are waiting for you to remember them.
When Mara Ellison takes a wrong turn on a road that shouldn’t exist, she finds herself at an isolated motel with eight rooms, a guest register full of names, and a past no one seems willing to explain.
The longer Mara stays, the more the place begins to feel familiar.
A room she doesn’t remember entering.
A name that shouldn’t be there.
A road that refuses to stay where she left it.
And somewhere in the darkness, something remembers Mara far better than she remembers it.
Because this isn’t the first time she’s been here.
Some places are haunted by the dead.
This one is haunted by what was forgotten.
