The streets remember. The groves whisper. And the heat hides what the dark won’t.

Riverside, 1994. A cursed orchard demands sacrifice. A hotel swallows its guests whole. A roadside ride takes you straight into hell.

Once Upon a Time in Jurupa delivers ten relentless tales of folk horror, urban legend, and sun-scorched dread. Each story stands alone— yet together they twist into a nightmare of haunted streets, cultural wounds, and converging fates.

If you crave the creeping unease of Shirley Jackson, the cultural hauntings of Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and the brutal daylight terror of Stephen Graham Jones, these stories will find you.

Read it tonight— before the groves remember your name.
