Shin Stories is a destination for the dark, the uncanny, and the deeply strange.
We explore haunted places — not just the ghost stories, but the history, the atmosphere, and the weight of what lingers in certain corners of the world. From the suicide forests of Japan to the plague-soaked vaults beneath Edinburgh, these are places where something happened, and something stayed.
We dig into folklore — the creature myths, ritual beliefs, and oral traditions that shaped how communities made sense of the darkness around them. Selkies and psychopomps. Harvest sacrifices and hill spirits. The stories told before the lights went out.
And we publish fiction — original short stories that live at the edges of the real. Horror, the uncanny, and the quietly unsettling. Free to read.
Shin Stories is written and edited by S.B. Braithe — a pen name, and a British author of literary horror fiction. Browse his books on Amazon.
