Eldritchhorror Stories

For three years, Faustina has been a fixture of the monastery-a silent, hollow girl who scrubs floors with mechanical grace and stares through the sanctuary glass as if waiting for the world to end. To the nuns, she is a puzzle of trauma, a child who survived the fire that turned her village to ash. To the monastery, she is merely a silent observer. But Faustina is not waiting for rescue; she is waiting for the danger that followed her. She survives by keeping her secrets in the shadows of the sanctuary, using stolen charcoal to sketch a reality the sisters cannot see: a monastery becoming a gilded trap, a clockwork prison where every inhabitant is being subtly "harmonized" by a mysterious benefactor named Saer Piast. When the wealthy merchant prince arrives to "rehabilitate" the monastery, he brings with him the sweet, cloying scent of a wine cellar-the same scent that haunted the barrel where Faustina once hid from the blaze. As the nuns begin to harden into porcelain dolls, tethered by invisible strings, the sanctuary wall begins to crack. Faustina's only hope lies in the rhythmic, "jingle-jangle" chords of the Traveling Bard who once saved her-a woman who taught her that a soul is only lost when it forgets its own melody. In a world of glass walls and string-pulling masters, Faustina must decide if she will remain a marble saint or embrace the white, silent fire of her own identity. The toy maker is closing in, the collection is growing, and the song of the road is the only weapon left to shatter the crystal cage.

If it wasn't for the Drone Colony to take him in, he would've died in the cold, toxic air. Instead, Khan Doorman decided to shelter the human, integrating him into the community. The process went semi-well for 16 years, but suddenly, he requested a meeting with none other, than Uzi.... Also the story has embedded youtube links, listen to the music to add to the atmosphere!

Umani, nati da polvere cosmica di stelle e sogni distrutti

In a world teetering on the brink of ruin, Kael-a soldier burdened by a past he can't escape-uncovers a terrible truth: the power that saved him may be the very thing that destroys everything he holds dear. Burdened with the power of fire, Kael is thrust into a deadly conflict against an overwhelming and relentless force. As corruption spreads across the land, Kael's team fights to protect the last remnants of civilization. But nothing is what it seems. The true enemy may not be the monstrous beasts lurking in the shadows, but something far older, far darker. Haunted by the death of a comrade and questioning his own role in the fate of the world, Kael must face his deepest fears and embrace a power he cannot fully control. In a battle for survival, Kael will learn that some flames can burn too bright, and the price of salvation may be more than anyone is willing to pay. In this first installment of an epic trilogy, secrets unravel, alliances are tested, and Kael's journey toward redemption is only beginning-if he can survive the fire.

In the shadowy world of Gravemoor, where the veil between life and death grows thin, a man named Crab wanders aimlessly, burdened by grief and haunted by the past. Once a humble fisherman, he now scrapes by on parlor tricks, gambling winnings, and his uncanny ability to commune with the dead-an ability he discovered after a chance encounter with an eldritch creature left him with a fragment of its glowing shell. For years, Crab has been tethered to the memory of his late wife, Anwen, whose voice he hears through the fragment. Her ghostly presence is both a comfort and a torment, pulling him deeper into the liminal space between worlds. Desperate to hold onto her yet yearning to move forward, Crab roams the countryside, searching for meaning, redemption, or perhaps a way to undo the curse of his own existence. But Gravemoor holds secrets darker than Crab's grief. Whispers of the dead growing restless echo through the town, and a mysterious power stirs in the depths of its ancient catacombs. As Crab's tenuous connection to the afterlife grows stronger, so too does the risk of losing himself entirely to its pull. To survive, he must confront not only his own despair but the eldritch forces that seek to consume everything he has left. With gallows humor, reluctant heroism, and a growing awareness of his place in a world steeped in magic and danger, Crab embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind the fragment, reconnect with the living, and decide whether he's ready to let go of the dead. A tale of loss, resilience, and eldritch intrigue, Crab's Veil explores the boundaries of love, memory, and the price of holding on to what is already gone.
