About Spooky Nights
Pull up a chair. The candle’s already lit.
A candlelit storybook for people who never really grew out of October.
The old book
Tales from the old book
The Keeper opens the old book and tells tales from the folklore of the world: vampires who couldn’t stop counting, witches bound for the Brocken, the banshee’s cry over old Irish families, goblins in the mines, ghosts that keep their own calendars.
A new Short every night. A free tale every week. And when the Circle opens, a new members’ story every night.
The folklore is real and sourced. The stories we spin from it are fiction, told for the shivers and the fun.

Old folklore, new tools, a careful hand
The folklore
Real and sourced, gathered from the folklore of the world.
The telling
Our stories are written and narrated with the help of AI tools.
The check
Every story is edited and checked by hand for accuracy on the folklore.
Illustrations and narration are AI-generated. No real people are depicted, and nothing here is presented as “real footage.”
Created with AI tools.
The fine print
In plain words
- Stories are folklore-inspired fiction for entertainment.
- Intention Sigils are art, made for fun and reflection. For entertainment purposes only. No supernatural results are promised or implied.
- Renewal terms, once the Circle opens. Monthly memberships are charged $9 when you join and then every month on the same date until you cancel. Annual memberships are charged $79 when you join and then every year until you cancel. Founding price: $59.25 for your first year, then renews automatically at $79/year (or the then-current price, with 30 days’ email notice) unless you cancel. We email founding members a reminder before their first renewal.
- Cancel any time with the “Manage membership” link in your receipt email, or by emailing spookynightscircle@gmail.com. Cancelling stops future charges, and you keep access until the end of the period you’ve paid for.
- Questions? Just reply to any email. The Keeper reads every one.
