Gaslighting Stories

The Mirror King is a haunting, lyrical exploration of narcissistic behavior-told through rhyme, symbolism, and emotional truth. Behind charm and grand promises, the Mirror King waits. He reflects your dreams, crowns himself with praise, and slowly fractures your sense of self. Through poetic storytelling, this book reveals the subtle warning signs of narcissism: love that moves too fast, blame that never sticks, manipulation disguised as devotion, and control hidden behind silence or rage. Each verse serves as both a mirror and a warning-helping readers recognize gaslighting, emotional erosion, and the quiet loss of identity that often comes before clarity. This is not a book of diagnosis, but of awareness. Not an attack, but an awakening. The Mirror King is for anyone who has questioned their reality, felt smaller in the presence of "love," or is learning to trust their inner voice again. It reminds us that real love does not confuse, diminish, or demand self-betrayal. Sometimes the first step to freedom is seeing the crack in the glass.

The Arrival is the first chilling novella in The Fractured Veil series, a psychological suspense saga where memory, identity, and reality collide. When Ash moves into a quiet coastal town for a temporary archivist job, everything seems ordinary at first. The locals are polite, the boarding house strict, the fog thick but familiar. Then come the oddities: A locked door that ticks like a heartbeat. Neighbours who insist Ash has been here before. A friend who vanishes overnight - and a town that swears she never existed. Photographs that show Ash living another life, ten years ago. As paranoia escalates, Ash begins to question not only the town but their own identity. Because in this place, names are shared, memories are borrowed, and copies don't always come back right. Step inside if you dare - but remember the rule: when the house calls your name, don't answer. Perfect for fans of Shutter Island, House of Leaves, and Behind Her Eyes, this novella delivers claustrophobic dread and a twist ending that will haunt you long after the last page.

I Keep Myself is a journey back to the self. Told through poetic reflection and grounded truth, this book explores how women learn endurance instead of safety, accommodation instead of intimacy, and availability instead of love. It examines the cost of staying too long, the language we use to excuse harm, and the courage it takes to choose oneself when leaving feels cruel. This book does not offer easy answers. It offers clarity. I Keep Myself is for those unlearning self-abandonment, reclaiming their boundaries, and discovering that love does not require suffering to be real. It is a reminder that keeping yourself is not selfish - it is survival, and it is sacred.

Years later, on a crowded beach, the unthinkable happens. To bring justice for their son, Shauna and Evan must pull down every mask-starting with their own. ©️ Relle H

Fairytales don't exist here. There's no such thing as a happily ever after. This is the Isle of the Lost. An isle trapped inside a barrier that cancels all magic within; that prevents those trapped inside from ever leaving.

Join us as we follow these unfortunate, forgotten kids who have to grow up and survive in these conditions. The children of the most notorious villains in the history of all the kingdoms. Mal's gang. Uma's crew. And 2 OCs. Deez, the daughter of Hades, who walks a unique path between the two gangs while struggling with her own abilities. T, a mysterious shadow that spends more time following the gangs than talking to them and struggles with secrets and lies. Will they grow up in their parent's images? Become just as means, nasty and ruthless? Completely rotten to the core? Can hope and love even bloom on an isle hidden from the warmth of the sun? How will they deal with everyday growing pains? And who can they turn to when nothing is right and they can't even understand how they feel?

Case #15993-b: The Adjacent. Questioning Officer: Luc Gaither-Locke. Child Specialist The victim of the Frau Abduction file sitting in front of him was the younger of the pair. The drink he had handed to his side of the rounded table lay untouched. Rodney Foal studiously did not make eye contact. ...A ward of the state.... Kidnapped, dehumanized and later fled with nothing but clothes on their backs, and a preteen whose throat closed up and unconsciously coded his paper. "He doesn't play favorites." "Pardon?" Officer Gaither replied, trying to remain composed all the same, keeping things conversational. Casual. "Abby said Papa didn't play favorites." And his eyes were rested on his shoes.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

A young boy by the name of Zemuno awakes to geraniums sprouting from his skin and two "Sires" patiently guiding him through a life he can't remember. Why are the mirrors covered? What is the true purpose of his flowers? No need to fret, Sires are here. That's what they always tell me. I needn't question what doesn't need to be questioned.

She looked innocent. Soft-spoken. Harmless. He thought he was falling in love. What Elliot never saw was how every smile was calculated, every tear timed, and every touch designed to pull him deeper. What began as protection turns into possession, and love slowly becomes a weapon. In a world where power hides behind tenderness, Velvet Trap is a psychological thriller about control, consent, and the dangerous illusion of choice-where the prey wears the crown, and the truth arrives far too late.
