History Literature / KnifepointHorror

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: This is a very tragic aspect of many of the stories. Had the protagonist not done one simple, seemingly harmless thing, they could have avoided the horrors that leave them traumatized and in some cases, their once promising lives completely decimated.
** In ''eyes'', Wesley likely would have gone on being an upstanding public servant had he not decided to go on a crusade against fake psychics taking advantage of people in mourning.
** The protagonist of ''possession'' had secured a full-ride scholarship to grad school when a demented woman stabbed him in an alleyway. He got addicted to the pain killers meant to help his recovery and things just went downhill from there.
** The main character of ''tunnel'' has had to deal with insomnia and depression for years because of what he saw on what was supposed to be an ordinary train ride.

Knifepoint Horror is a horror short story series/podcact by Soren Narnia. Here is a description from the website:

Knifepoint Horror is a horror short story series by Soren Narnia. The series is probably best summed up by the author's own words:

"These tales of supernatural suspense adhere to the most primal element of storytelling: a single human voice describing events exactly as it experienced them without adding the stylish techniques which dilute, stretch, and burden horror fiction with unnecessary detail. Here you will find no entry into the thoughts of any characters other than the narrator’s, no standard passages of dialogue, no humor, no romance, no profanity, no extraneous gore. The stories, stripped of even proper titles, spill forward as taut, uninterrupted confessions. Knifepoint Horror leaves nothing but the story’s riveting spine to compel and chill you to the core."

* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: Most of the stories take place in an urban, modern day setting. However, a few take place in pretty out there locales, including and medieval battlefield,a 1900's theater,a small French hamlet, and even space. There are also two stories not told in first person, but are rather research notes from one the notebook of a character from "house".

* OnlyOneName: Duke never tells the reader his full name, despite every other narrator doing so.

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: The plot of ''possession'' is kicked off when a demented woman stabs the narrator in the leg one night. She's seemingly unrelated to the supernatural happenings that plague the narrator afterwards, but if she had chosen another victim

* FailureToSaveMurder: [[spoiler: Shirley from "eyes" was tortured and murdered by a demon conjured by her paranoid husband.]] She had sought help from Wesley Harrold before her fate was sealed since Harrod was the kindest man she knew, but since he barely knew her and the things she talked about [[spoiler: such as her husband using a demon to torment her]] seemed downright delusional to him, he declined to help. Because of this, [[spoiler: she blamed Harrold for her death and chose to haunt ''him'' for the rest of his days.]]
