[Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner] The Redding takes you if it knows your name. That's the rule that's kept Meg alive --- or awake, rather --- since the night the world went to hell. Nobody knows where the red stuff came from, but it acts like water, it's in the water, and it falls as rain every night. The people it captures drop like puppets with their strings cut. They're asleep, not dead, and they can be reawoken. But then they just try to kill you. Meg and the other survivors she's befriended think they've found a stable equilibrium, six weeks after the catastrophe began. In an empty town, there's not much to do except innovate new survival methods. Meg's crush is the one to discover that Morse Code, like writing, is a safe means of communication. That's all fine and good until the nightly rain begins. Raindrops, as it turns out, can make dots and dashes, too. The Redding can talk. And it's telling her to run. ❖❖❖ Complete. Wattys 2023 Winner.

Ever since he was a young boy, Mathias Køhler couldn't see. He couldn't remember ever seeing anything. He mostly relied on his hearing and that was all he could do. On the other hand, Lukas Bondviek had always lived a normal life. He was happy with his life and loved his little brother and family to no end. But what happens when their school devotes four weeks of school into a transfer like time? Well, this is the point where I get bad at descriptions, but trust me, it'll be good.

A UsUk cardverse, where the Queen Of Spades has yet to be found. Arthur lived a normal life in the Diamond Kingdom, with one of his brothers, Jett, becoming the Ace Of Diamonds. That leading to the King Of Diamonds, Francis, visiting their house and growing deeply infatuated with Arthur. In the Spade Kingdom, the King Of Spades, Alfred, go out on another journey trying to find his queen, the one marked with the mark of the royal family. His journey starts in his own kingdom and goes from there. Arthur Kirkland, the one who bears the royal mark of the Queen Of Spades, only one other person besides himself knows that it's there, and plans to keep that fact hidden from the King Of Diamonds.

Following his father's footsteps, serving his kingdom, wielding a sword to protect the royals and the citizens; it was the recipe for Arthur's future. Though some may belittle the young man, Arthur believes he can overcome any obstacle and attain his goals. He could do all of that. Even if he was blind. x Cardverse UsUk - America/England

My name is Rolland and I grew up in an orphanage in the middle of town. I've lived here as long as I can remember. I always tried to ask why me or any of the other kids were here but the woman who ran the orphanage just answered by holding up a sign saying 'I'm busy. Go play, Rolland.' After my eighth birthday I stopped asking. Besides, I think I already knew why my parents hadn't wanted me... I was completely deaf. (This will NOT be a super perverted book, even being bxbxb. So if you are looking for that, go elsewhere, k! I'm here for the story and a bit of horror and romance mixed in!)

If you're looking forward to a night of sleeplessness, read on.

If you're feeling brave enough, this book of creepy facts makes for some interesting read.
