For several years, a series of unexplained events has been documented inside a quiet apartment in Côte Saint-Luc, Québec.

Objects are found in places they were not left.
Some changes are subtle. Others are more difficult to account for.

These observations are presented as they were recorded, without embellishment or conclusion.

The Poltergeist of Côte Saint-Luc is now available on Amazon and for preorder at stygianmedia.ca.

The author has chosen to remain anonymous. Half of all royalties will be donated to organisations supporting the homeless in Montréal.

What Is Your Horror Really About? Writing Fear With Meaning

While we all love a good bit of slasher make for the pure bloody fun of it, a horror story gains weight when the fear on the page connects to something that already exists in the world outside it. The source of that fear often comes from pressure that feels familiar, grief that does not resolve, guilt that refuses to settle, control that tightens until it breaks.
