Being a vampire has its perks, like immortality and superpowers. It's a shame it doesn't come with a manual on how to use any of them. 'An Absurdist's Guide to the Undead' is a horror/mystery following Zachary Manchester, a vampire who played god and failed. After discovering his girlfriend's corpse, he tried to turn her to save her, but with no idea what he was doing it inevitably backfired in the worst possible way. Instead of the peaceful reunion he'd expected, the girl woke up screaming. Writhing in agony. Decaying. With no memories, no personality, and barely enough awareness to know how to walk, Victoria was reduced to a mere shell. Now needing to tackle both the overbearing guilt of his mistakes and having to babysit the zombie-like husk of the girl he once loved, Zach refuses to give up on finding a way to fix her. If that means turning every other human and vampire against him, so be it. After all, it's easier to grieve at a graveyard than to wake up beside a reanimated corpse every morning. (This story is also being posted on Royal Road)

Power is built on blood, and Kim Taehyung's hands have never been clean. A king draped in silk, he rules with a paintbrush in one hand and a death sentence in the other. Cruel. Untouchable. Smiling as bodies disappear. Behind him stands Jeon Jungkook-his right hand, his executioner, his most loyal servant. But loyalty is just another form of control. And deep down, Jungkook hates him. Hatred is a slow poison, burning through his veins, keeping him alive just long enough to set the world on fire. Because betrayal isn't a single move-it's a game. And the deeper Jungkook plays, the closer he gets to checkmate, the more he realizes that hatred isn't the only thing pulling him in. It's the smirk that lingers too long. The brushstrokes that soften bloodstained hands. The way desire and destruction tangle until he can't tell them apart. He wants to ruin Taehyung. And he wants him just as much. ______________________________ Trigger Warning: This novel contains explicit violence, gore, psychological manipulation, drug trafficking, human trafficking, organ trafficking , sexual violence, torture, and themes of obsession and control.

For as long as I can remember, I-Yvette-have lived under my older sister's shadow. She was the golden girl-bright and brilliant. While I was simply a silver afterthought. It didn't matter what I did, I was almost always compared to her. Either that or forgotten. The only one who saw me for who I was and cared about me was my twin brother, Yvon. The two of us-overlooked and underestimated-had no one but each other. To the world, I am a quiet, unremarkable young woman with a jealous tendency towards my older sister but fading into the background, I listen, I watch, I plan, and I wait. I know what my sister truly is. And I know all too well the horrors she has done. Like a cruel joke, a month after she was wed to the crown prince-I found myself engaged to her former suitor, Lev. That same man who once looked at my older sister with loving eyes now pragmatically explained and convinced me why we would make a good match and that it didn't matter what kind of person I was because he knew what really mattered about me. It wasn't the love story I dreamed of but this arrangement-our relationship-had its own practical charm. Yet as days passed, our practical and logical relationship, turned into something more. The once cold and distant demeanor of Lev was slowly thawing and I was beginning to see the man behind those cold and unreadable eyes. Still, romance was the least of my concerns. Yvon and I had plans, an ambition years in the making. An empire of our own, our safe haven from the monster we were desperately running from. And I won't let anything, not even whatever it is that I have with Lev, stand in our way. And now, the secrets that have been buried are clawing their way to the surface. When the truth comes to light, will Yvon and I accomplish what we set out to do or will we fail to reach our goal? And when it does... Will Lev stand by my side or will he become just another enemy in my path? Started: 02-2025
