M. H. Urban – Author

Of course you should be afraid of the dark

Mary H. Urban is a compulsive reader since the age of four and a closeted writer who has turned into a real author by the magic of auto-publishing. As a horror enthusiast, she enjoys myths, legends, and anything supernatural that bumps in the night. As a former psychologist, she is drawn to all that lurks in the depths of the human mind, and her stories bear witness to it. 

When she is not reading or writing, the author enjoys spending time with her daughter, long walks in the countryside, gazing at the sea, listening to music, and allowing her cats to boss her around.

After her parents’ unfortunate divorce, Andrea moves with her mother and younger sister from Texas to Boston. It’s a new beginning, a chance to start afresh, but it doesn’t turn out as expected, and the old family carriage house in Beacon Hills hides deadly secrets that endanger their future and even their lives.

My short stories

You never know what oddities an old man can keep in his remote cottage or what’s lurking among those weird items in auctions. In Matt’s opinion, some things should stay lost in a warehouse forever. Where they can do no harm. But maybe he’s overreacting. Truth to be told, it has been a busy year for Matt, with a lot of stress, so excuse him if hes a little bit edgy. Maybe his nightmares are just a trick of his hyperactive mind. After all, he’s a writer, and we know how writers are.

Or, everything should be right in Matt’s world… until it isn’t.

A short liminal horror story.

Sometimes coming home can turn into a nightmare.

There’s nothing more frustrating than having to take a detour on your way home because of an accident on the highway. Even more so if you’re returning home after years away to make funeral arrangements. But the worst part is when the past starts to haunt you, and you begin to suspect that you’ll never make it home.
