Tales from the Vault

Prepare to enter the Story Sanctum vault! Inside these pages, you will find a rich anthology of stories designed to speak to your heart, mind, and soul. These tales were taken from our vault of fiction and nonfiction stories. They represent some of our favorite stories from the past year.

Story Sanctum is a shrine for sacred storytelling. We curate compelling fiction and nonfiction stories with a clear point of view that captures the truth and beauty, sacredness and strangeness, heartbreak, horror, and hope of the human condition. For us, sacredness transcends any one religion and does not have to be religious at all. Our stories honor the sacredness of life found in the human experience. The viewpoints of the writers are their own, but they give us unique insights into their lives and our shared human experience.
