For ten years, Jeffrey Mislovitch lived an ordinary life in a quiet Côte Saint-Luc apartment. Nothing seemed out of place.

Then a rubber band moved.

What began as small, dismissible incidents escalated into something far stranger. Objects shifted across rooms, doors opened untouched, items vanished and reappeared, and new objects appeared without explanation.

Documented over years inside a single Montréal home, the activity grows increasingly deliberate.

The Poltergeist of Côte Saint-Luc challenges the limits of physical reality.

If one event is possible, what else is?

[Mortal Things] Chapter 4: Good Stock

Truth be told, Bridget longed for a few moments alone before the holiday descended upon their household. She had been thinking about Malachy Quinn for quite a while now and wanted to find some way to eject him from her mind and go about being a dutiful wife. She had longed for the holidays, had she not? In all her months of waiting for Michael to come to Ballyvadlea, Christmas was something she had wanted desperately to share with him.

A Review of Obsession

This movie was an honest-to-goodness sensation. For these reasons, I was of two minds seeing it: would it live up to its hype? Or was this just another Marvel-like media circus drummed up by the studio which melts away as fast as it emerges? From my two viewings of this film, I feel like I can comfortably say that it is the former.

An Encounter with the Great God Pan Among the Stars

JB never told his mother what he had seen on his own side of that threshold. Pan looked at him, he says, with a knowing smile, and JB fell into the god's endlessly spiralling ram's horns, woven from the fabric of the cosmos itself.

[Mortal Things] Chapter 3: Mortal Things

Yet, even with the joy surrounding her, Bridget couldn’t stop thinking about what she’d seen. Her nights were spent staring longingly up at the sky, hoping for anything; any kind of sign of what she’d seen before. Her eyes would play tricks on her. She’d think a star had a purple aura, then blink and it would glow white once again. At the market she spent more time staring out at the crowd then chatting with shoppers asking about her chickens; her mending prices.

The Rise of AI in Publishing: Should Authors Be Worried?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly influencing various sectors, including publishing. While AI can be a godsend for assisting with tasks like data analysis and administrative duties, its encroachment into the realm of creative writing has sparked significant debate. As the Founder of Stygian Media, I, Holly Rhiannon, feel compelled to address these developments and reaffirm our commitment to human creativity.
