Burial Day Books is a boutique publisher of supernatural horror. Once a week we research a particular element dealing with superstition, folklore or myth and write a short piece about that element from the Gravedigger’s perspective. These elements were sometimes used somewhere in a previous horror story in history. Or, these elements could have been pulled from particular ideals, or from items that illicit fear. We may also discuss curious traditions that we feel admirers of horror, and beyond, would enjoy learning. Our blogs, while written from a fictional character ‘s perspective, are non-fictional. Overall, our blogs discuss true beliefs, phenomena, practices or customs.

The Possession
In 1973, it was a girl’s relationship with a Ouija board in The Exorcism. Today, it was a girl’s relationship with a box in The Possession. The topic of possession is a common horror film subject. It is like the disease or virus common in many modern day Horror-Sci-Fi blends. Possession is a sickness [...]
