'House Taken Over' is narrated by a 40-year-old Argentinian man who lives with his sister in a house they inherited from their parents. The brother used to be engaged, but his relationship ended. The sister has never married, although she had several offers.

Nothing very exciting happens to either of the siblings during the first part of the story. Aside from taking care of their home, the siblings engage in their relatively uninteresting hobbies: the sister knits, while the brother reads books.

Then the house is taken over. At first, it begins mundanely with noises. The siblings refuse to go in the parts of the house where the noises originate from. The siblings even abandon their possessions in parts of the house taken over by 'them.' Eventually the siblings are completely driven out of their house when the mysterious entity takes over the last section. The siblings leave their ancestral home at the end of the story rather than confront whoever or whatever has taken over their house.e child, all from God’s choices to the ending. It’s an icy kind of scary.

Read the entire fairy tale…




. The Dog and the Sparrow
For sure, a fairy tale with the title ‘The Dog and the Sparrow’ can’t be scary, yes?

This story starts as a lovely story about friendship. The dog and the sparrow enjoy their summery life together.

Then a wagoner makes the fatal mistake of willingly killing the dog. And then the pleasant summer drama turns into a wild and dark action revenge movie.


The sparrow goes ballistic. You can see the blood-red fire in its eyes. Horses are viciously attacked. Birds gather to strike the food supplies. Finally, the sparrow gets swallowed alive.

You will never look at sparrows again after this tale.
