The first thing Zara Whitmore asked Malcolm Ashcroft after eight years was not how he had been. It was: Where's Adriana? She said it before she could stop herself. She had been saying it, in one form or another, for most of her life. Adriana Ashcroft manages the Ashcroft estate, plays piano like the room expects it, and has been watching Zara Whitmore from equestrian grounds since they were children. Zara is a first-year medical student with a forensic mind and a very specific problem: she has loved Adriana since before she had the vocabulary for it, and she has spent eight years pretending she hasn't. Then Adriana dies. And she doesn't leave. What follows is a ghost story that is also a love story that is also a murder investigation - set in the gothic town of Stonemere, where the Ashcroft family has been dying in patterns for three generations, and where a ghost who is fading a little more each day refuses to disappear before Zara finds out why. She kept the ring. She kept the diaries. She sat at 5:45 every day and waited. She waited for a very long time. f/f · sapphic · gothic · slow burn · ghost romance · mystery · literary fiction ⚠️ Content warnings: grief, death of a main character, loss of a parent, murder across generations, morally complex family dynamics.

Post-Civil War America - a United States now truly united - has finally found its unity, yet families have been torn apart. There is not a soul who has not lost someone. But in a morbid twist of fate, for the Fox Sisters, this era of grief holds the promise of a rise in fortune. Their father, an impoverished country landowner, left his children nothing but a crumbling manor and a collection of peculiar, scholarly notes. After years of barely scraping by, Aurora stumbles upon a handwritten notebook whose contents change their lives forever. Almost overnight, the destitute, forgotten sisters become the most sought-after mediums in the county. Crowds flock to them, hoping to reach their lost loved ones. But there is a catch. They are exceptionally gifted at summoning - it is the sending back where things get complicated. The number of disturbed souls keeps growing, and the spirits haunting the Fox estate are growing increasingly restless. Will the Fox girls manage to contend with hundreds of furious ghosts? Will they discover how to return the summoned souls to the other side? All Hallows' Eve is drawing near - a dangerous time to be at war with the dead. And their brother has chosen precisely this moment to come home, with a young lady in tow...

thank you to my best freind mars for making the cover!!! **One Fright Night, a Lifetime of Love** At Black Hollow Haunted House, fear is the attraction, screams are expected, and masks hide more than just faces. For eighteen-year-old Ryker Radcliffe, becoming *The Joker* every October is easy. Behind the costume, makeup, and terrifying grin, he can be anyone except himself. Inside the haunt, he's confident. Outside of it, he's quiet, guarded, and perfectly happy staying in the shadows. Then Harmony Urbanski walks through his attraction. Unlike everyone else, she doesn't scream. She laughs. Curious, fearless, and impossible to ignore, Harmony keeps coming back night after night. What begins as a strange fascination quickly turns into friendship, late-night conversations, and feelings neither of them expected. As Halloween grows closer and the haunted house season begins to wind down, Ryker finds himself facing something far scarier than any haunted attraction: letting someone truly know him. With the help of Harmony's older sister, Zarabeth, and a loyal friend group that slowly becomes his own, Ryker learns that sometimes the bravest thing you can do isn't putting on a mask-it's taking it off. Because sometimes one fright night can change everything. And sometimes one fright night can become a lifetime of love. **A slow-burn friends-to-lovers romance filled with haunted house nights, found family, first love, laughter, and learning to be seen.**

Abby Maxwell thought becoming a housekeeper would give her a quiet life. Stoneheart Mansion had other plans. When she arrives in 1929, the old mansion seems abandoned, but the longer she stays, the more the house begins to change. Doors open on their own, portraits shift when she isn't looking, whispers curl through the corridors, calling her name with voices that shouldn't exist. The townsfolk warn her to leave. The house whispers for her to stay. Something inside Stoneheart is watching her, learning her, choosing her. And Abby begins to realize the truth: the house is alive. It remembers every soul it has claimed. And it has decided she will be next. But Abby Maxwell is not as helpless as Stoneheart believes. And the mansion is about to learn that the woman it chose... might be the one who destroys it.

Six strangers. One boarding house. A caretaker with rules he swears will keep them safe. They should have asked why the rules existed before they agreed to follow them. The house on the edge of the city is too large for what it costs and too quiet for what it contains. The caretaker delivers his rules at the door and disappears into the dark at the end of the hall, and by morning the rules are less comfort than they seemed, and the door at the end of the corridor is breathing, and the miniature sitting in the forbidden room has figures with faces pressed into their clay that no one should have been close enough to make. Cora has been drifting for long enough that she has stopped noticing the drift. She notices the house. She notices the bruise on her sternum that has pulsed since she crossed the threshold, shaped like a keyhole, warm in ways she cannot account for. She notices the miniature's tiny figure with her own face pressed into it with the intimacy of a mold made before she arrived. The house has forty seven names in its ledger. Eleven of them escaped. Inside these walls, nothing taken can be returned. Nothing placed inside a person comes out the way it went in. And the thing the house wants most is the one thing Cora does not yet know she has been carrying her entire life. This is not a story that flinches. It stays in the room. Count carefully. Do not open your eyes until you mean it. ©️ Relle H

There are things that cannot be explained. Things that hide in dreams, in darkness... and sometimes, inside ourselves. This is not just a horror story. It is my story. A story about fear, sleep paralysis, shadows, false awakenings, and the terrifying feeling of slowly losing your sense of reality. I never wanted any of this to happen to me... but once it began, it never truly stopped. And maybe... it started long before I was even born.
