Apollo and Dion, a dysfunctional rag-tag pair of demon hunters have been sent to investigate the city of Havenbrook and its inhabitants. The mission is simple: to find the cultists responsible for a recent string of murders and to bring them to justice. Even if it takes killing dozens of demons on the way there. But things are never that simple when you deal with the dark arts. Cultists, demon pacts, sacrificial murders all stand in the demon hunters' way as they search for the truth. A truth that will force them to question their own identities, a truth about the absolute evil lurking beyond heaven and earth. The question is, if they find the truth, will they be strong enough to handle it?

[Formerly Featured/Award-Winning Novella/#2 in Horror] There is something eerie about this village -- this hole of silent, maddened people. In 1922 my Papa told me of a faceless entity that lurks amongst us in our isolated slice of Russia. The locals have kept this horror alive for a century, though the only ones who claim to have seen the Folveshch have succumbed to a life of sightless silence. My name is Stefan Alyovich and the people around me are changing. They slip into worsening madness every winter, and I ask myself: how much longer before I'm the only sane one left? ... The only one left alone with the Folveshch. ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟ • 21,000 word novella • Rank #2 in Horror • Rank #4 in Mystery • Horror winner of Greatbelt U.F Award 2015 • CBY October Book of the Month 2014 • The Cryptic Awards Best Horror Winner 2017 • Wattpad HQ Winter Escapes Reading List • Wattpad HQ Stranger Things Reading List • Fright Top Horror/Featured Horror/Stranger Things Reading Lists • Mystery Paranormal Mystery Reading List • ThePurgeMovie Urban Legends Reading List • TheGallowsMovie Best of Thrillers Reading List • Blairwitchmovie Top Horror/Thriller Reading List • OuijaMovie Top Horror Reading List • IncarnateMovie Top Horror ↟- ↟ - ↟ - ↟- ↟- ↟ - ↟ - ↟ - ↟- ↟ - ↟ - ↟ - ↟ - ↟-

In this book, you'll learn exactly what resonance is and how to use it to make your stories more powerful. You'll see how it is used in literature and other art forms, and how one writer, J. R. R. Tolkien, mastered it in his work.

When Krešimir Kraljević, a Croatian Roman Catholic priest, who has been leading a double life at Zagreb Cathedral in Yugoslavia for the past twelve years takes a routine confession one afternoon in November 1940, it triggers a suppressed desire to avenge his father's murder and to consummate a forbidden love, reminding him of who he was before he became a priest and a 'vampir'. After leaving the priesthood, his world is turned upside down when the past begins to unravel and he discovers everything and everyone in his life was part of a masterfully crafted plan by a secret organization and the man who murdered his father, Vukar Vrago is actually a fallen angel and the father of Greta, an orphan he was raised with and has loved since he was ten years old. As he adapts to 'life on the outside' after nineteen years, family and friends begin to reveal dark secrets that hail all the way back to ancient times, spanning across the globe, and he begins to understand why everything is as it should be, despite the fact that he previously thought his life was the result of pure happenstance. It is then that he begins a journey of self-acceptance, which requires embracing both good and bad within himself to fight one of the most evil beings that ever walked the earth, while also contemplating his decision to sacrifice his mortality for Greta, whom he is uncertain will leave her new life in America to return to him.

My father stepped into my bedroom and my body was still asleep, but when he spoke my mind was awoken. "Nick," he said from above, "did you hear me?" Both my eyes were still closed, "Yes Father." I answered. "Come eat." his hand touched my shoulder. "Ok dad." I couldn't move my body, it was too tired. "Your Mother's cooking breakfast." "All right." "Your long underwear and winter socks are on your dresser for you to put on." He walked out of the room and I took a deep breath. Was this really happening, I wondered, then I jumped up and the sleep was gone. #JustWriteIt #SportsEdition #sports
