Ethan Campbell - Horror

https://theoviebooks.wordpress.com/ The Fear Collector by Ethan Campbell I was sitting in the kitchen, the hum of the refrigerator the only sound in the otherwise silent house. My wife, Debra, had gone to bed hours ago, and the quiet was almost too much to bear. The rain had started at dusk, light at first, then growing in intensity until it felt like the sky itself was about to crack open. I watched the rain slant against the window, the water making strange patterns on the glass. That’s when I saw it: a slow-moving van pulling up to the house across the street. Now, that house had been vacant for years, long before Debra and I moved to this neighborhood. I could remember the gossip when the last tenants left, the old McCullen couple, a couple of hard-nosed, silent people who vanished without a trace. Since then, the house had stood empty, the windows dark like dead eyes, the yard overgrown with weeds. Nobody had lived there in nearly a decade.
