Doors Open Both Ways: A Horror Anthology by Dennis Spielman
Doors Open Both Ways. That’s not just a title—it’s a warning.
This collection of 21 strange and terrifying horror stories explores what happens when the mundane world cracks open and the impossible spills out.
Have you ever wondered…
- What if that local urban legend about a Goatman in the woods was true?
- What if your date took a cursed Polaroid photo that captured a ghost… and it followed you home?
- What if the characters in that horror movie you’re watching could hear you scream “Don’t Go Inside?”
- What if you could buy a new personality, like “Brave,” from a popup shop… but all sales are final?
From haunted barbershops to reality-bending staircases, Doors Open Both Ways delivers a unique blend of dark fantasy, sci-fi, and quiet horror. You’ll witness a spaceship game show turn deadly, a magical book unleash chaos at a library Halloween party, and a mysterious cleanup crew in white and orange uniforms who desperately try to erase the evidence of the supernatural.
Perfect for fans of The Twilight Zone and Black Mirror. These stories will make you uneasy, amused, and maybe even oddly comforted.
Turn the page. But be careful. Once you open a door, you never know what (or who) might come through i

100 Things To Do In Oklahoma City Before You Die, Volume 3
Oklahoma City boomed out of the prairie in 1889 with a land run, and it hasn’t stopped since. At the literal crossroads of the nation where I-35 meets I-40 and one of the key cities on Route 66, OKC welcomes travelers from across the country and world. Today they call it the Modern Frontier, where there is no shortage of people to meet or things to do. Take a drive to see highlights of Route 66 like the Gold Dome, Milk Bottle Building, and Lake Overholser Bridge, the background of countless road trip movies. Get to know the history of the city and take in some fabulous culture in museums like the First Americans Museum, Oklahoma Hall of Fame at the Gaylord-Pickens Museum, and the Oklahoma Contemporary Arts Center. Have a night on the town with a musical canal cruise, a Ferris wheel ride, and the best slice of pie you’ve ever eaten. Shop the new Farmers Market at Scissortail Park, tour the town’s hidden record shops, and the chic’est chic of OKC’s numerous art districts. When you’ve done all that, you’re just getting started! In 100 Things to Do in Oklahoma City Before You Die, you’ll get the best tips from local researcher and ghost-tour guide Jeff Provine and journalist Dennis Spielman on where to meet Sir Indiana Bones the Museum Cat, where to hunt for fairy houses in the park, and where to play retro video games while sipping signature cocktails.

Reclaimer’s Revenge on The Blue Planet
Based on the feedback from my short story, Upgrade Cave, and my personal enjoyment of writing Océane and Nerine’s adventure, I’m working on a novella version. The project is in early development as I’m focusing on other stories that take place first in my universe, but you can read a few chapters from the book, which basically include the short stories, Upgrade Cave and Temple Guardian.
