What if another took our place and decided to raise and exploit us as we have every other animal on earth? Welcome to a world after humanity... No one is exactly certain where the sibla came from. Some say they evolved from humans long ago, slowly taking power as their numbers increased. Taller, stronger, and longer-lived, than homo sapiens it isn't too hard to imagine. Now humans must face a reality in which they are no more than animals, domesticated beasts bred for their master's various needs and hungers. Rachel Turner is only eight years old. Born in Demin, one of the last remaining free human settlements on earth, she has never been forced to face the reality of life under a sibla Master, living a carefree existence in her hidden village.

"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.

[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. β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ β€’ 21,000 word novella β€’ Rank #2 in Horror β€’ Rank #4 in Mystery β€’ Horror winner of Greatbelt U.F Award 2015 β€’ CBY October Book of the Month 2014 β€’ The Cryptic Awards Best Horror Winner 2017 β€’ Wattpad HQ Winter Escapes Reading List β€’ Wattpad HQ Stranger Things Reading List β€’ Fright Top Horror/Featured Horror/Stranger Things Reading Lists β€’ Mystery Paranormal Mystery Reading List β€’ ThePurgeMovie Urban Legends Reading List β€’ TheGallowsMovie Best of Thrillers Reading List β€’ Blairwitchmovie Top Horror/Thriller Reading List β€’ OuijaMovie Top Horror Reading List β€’ IncarnateMovie Top Horror β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ-

~ AVAILABLE ON AMAZON: https://www.amazon.com/dp/164434193X ~ She hated riding the subway. It was cramped, smelled, and the seats were extremely uncomfortable to sit on for hours on end. Now add a group of crazy mask-wearing, weapon-wielding, maniacs to the ever growing list of reasons why Gemma hated riding the subway. Gemma Conners is your average eighteen year old and for the past two years she's been riding the subway to and from school with no problem. She always expected the same ol' same ol'. Cramped spaces, hard seats, and perverts staring her up and down and "accidentally" bumping into her and blaming it on the train as it jostled people into one another. Never did she expect a group of masked men to rush in and hold everyone onboard hostage, demanding that they all play along with their sick and twisted idea of a "game". It was either that or die. To add on to her ever growing list of problems, one of the passengers onboard just so happens to be Archer Daniels, your typical high school "heartthrob" and Gemma's classmate. Her day just kept getting better and better. With Gemma's luck, she'd be lucky if she lasted five minutes. Yep. She really hated the subway. *Book Cover Credit: Irah Marie* Thanks again for making such an AMAZING cover!❀️
