1. Content Warning

This Site features original horror stories that may include graphic violence, gore, blood, disturbing themes, psychological horror, strong language, and other mature or potentially upsetting content.

By accessing the Site and reading any stories, you confirm that you are doing so at your own discretion and risk. You acknowledge that you are of legal age to view such material in your jurisdiction and accept full responsibility for any emotional or psychological impact the content may have on you. We are not responsible for any distress or discomfort that may result from the stories.

2. Ownership and Copyright

All content on the Site—including stories, text, images, graphics, and any other materials—is original work created by me and is protected by copyright laws in the United States and internationally under the Berne Convention and other applicable treaties. I own all rights, title, and interest in the content.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to view and read the stories for your personal, non-commercial use only, except where otherwise expressly permitted below.

Create and publicly share video or audio content (such as narrations, readings, reviews, reactions, or short adaptations) based on the stories on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, or similar services, provided that you clearly and prominently credit me as the author (Konstantin Siegl) and mention the specific story and series title both in the video/audio content itself and in the video description.
