Since the beginning of folklore and mythology, there has always been a fear and fascination with what lurks in the night - witches, ghosts, and other occult creatures. Reading and writing about these beings invites us to grapple with our emotions, struggles, and humanity in strange and shadowy ways. Why do some creatures continue to resonate with us over the years? How do we transform the haunting tales of our childhood into impactful stories for our modern times?
