This is the original, unedited version of Light as a Feather, Book #1. This book was the inspiration for the Hulu Original Series. The revised version is now available in bookstores throughout the USA & Canada from Simon Pulse. McKenna Brady thinks her junior year of high school is going to be the best ever when she's welcomed into the elite group of popular girls at Weeping Willow High School led by blonde, gorgeous Olivia Richmond. Prior to junior year, McKenna was known in her small town as the girl whose twin sister died in a tragic house fire, and she's overjoyed at the prospect of redefining her identity. She has a date to the Homecoming dance with Olivia's handsome older brother, and a good chance of being elected to student council. For the first time since McKenna's parents divorced, things are looking up. But everything changes the night of Olivia's Sweet Sixteen sleepover birthday party. Violet, the shy, mysterious new girl in town, suggests that the girls play a scary game called Light as a Feather, Stiff as a Board, during which Violet makes up elaborate stories about the future ways in which beautiful Olivia, brassy Candace, and athletic Mischa will die. The game unsettles McKenna because she's already escaped death once in her life, but she doesn't want to ruin her friends' fun. It's only a game, she reminds herself.

The estranged depths of the deserts of Arabia was resided by a ravage spirit. The people called it the howling jinn. The nomadic Bedouins craftily avoided that part of the area. But when famine strikes Yasmin's village, her clan is helplessly forced to shift. Fortunately, they received an anonymous invitation to a neighbouring village due east from their own. But that means they have to cross the desert. That deadly part of the desert resided by the most haunting jinn.

Dark, creepy and disturbing short stories. Some of them true.

This story contains graphic adult content (sex, language, drug and alcohol abuse and adult themes, including domestic violence) reader discretion is advised. ***Frightfest 2016 silver winner*** ***Second place for best Horror in Wicked Awards*** Cover by @Finnyh From the frightfest judges: FINN H. ARLETT: Ben's narrative in The Sins of Jack Price is original and focussed, and the immoral main character after whom the story is named is oddly quite likeable. I found it fun to watch him squirm. Ben's depiction of Lucifer is what cinched this win for me, as he is snide, devious, sinister, but unapologetically charming about it all. Altogether a quality read from an upcoming author. GAVIN HETHERINGTON: BennyBedlam's imagination knows no bounds, and from what is presented in The Sins of Jack Price, he writes in a way that entertains with a very brilliant idea behind it. It's unique in its concept and I can't wait to see this writer grow and develop his boundless craft.

THANK YOU, Wattpad, for the HQ Love Watty Award! Concept: A mysterious young woman flees from her troubled past only to discover it is impossible to escape THE SECRET that haunts her. *PLEASE NOTE: This story was originally inspired by the movie "Sleeping With the Enemy". * * * * * "I would never, Steven," she promised, turning away from him in an attempt to protect herself. "I know you wouldn't," he screamed. Cupping her chin in his hand, he forced her to look at him. "Because I would kill you." His words hung heavy in the air. Sarah's heart sank into her stomach. No matter how many times she'd heard the menacing phrase, she could never get used to it. It had the same affect on her as the first time he'd thrown the ugly words in her face. The familiar sting of bile rose in her throat, and she knew she would deplete the contents of her stomach once she was locked in the safety of their master bath. 'If I make it through this time,' she agonized. Her biggest fear was that one day he would really lose his temper with her. Who knew what would happen then? *This story is an unedited first draft.
