The witness
Myles Teston writes what the headlights miss.
Southern roadside weird. Blue-collar horror. Stories where ordinary responsibility becomes the door something else walks through.
Myles Teston writes horror rooted in the lived-in South: service roads, industrial nights, family obligations, bad weather, and the uneasy mile between one working streetlight and the next.
His fiction is interested in practical people confronting impossible things. The supernatural may be ancient, but the pressure is immediate—a missed shift, a broken vehicle, a loved one who needs help, or an invitation made from pure exhaustion.
The result is grounded, intimate horror in which dread arrives quietly and knows how to use the tools already in the room.

Ditchlight Gothic
Ditchlight Gothic is horror seen in incomplete evidence. A roadside beam catches the shape, but not the answer. The image is damaged. The witness is tired. The county line is close, but not close enough.
Its palette is charcoal, weathered paper, old rust, and the weak amber of machinery still running after midnight. Its people are capable, overworked, and rarely given the luxury of disbelief.
