Micro Book Reviews for ONC 2025 are now open! For more information, take a look at the opening chapter...

[ONC2020 Shortlister / A Featured Story on Wattpad Low Fantasy] You can't outrun the past. Hattie Newfield is a fake medium who makes a living off pretending to speak with the dead. But Hattie has a real psychic gift--she can "read" people's memories. When Hattie is approached by a stranger with an intriguing job proposal, she learns that she has other psychic powers that aren't easily controlled. As the two join forces to investigate a mysterious haunting, her psychic powers grow and the past begins encroaching on the present in unforeseen ways. Now Hattie must face her own troubled memories before the dark past overtakes them both.

When Etta inherits her grandmother's house in a dying southern town, she expects dust and silence, not cassette tapes that whisper buried confessions, and not bloodroot blooming where no sun touches. But the house remembers. And the deeper Etta digs into the garden, and herself, the more she begins to question what was forgotten... and what was buried alive. Some memories rot. Others grow.
