Being the first haunted to defeat the Shade, Vergil Torres should have been swelling with joy and pride. After all, he saved his friends and learned secrets not even 50 years of Shade Study could discover. Yet, this victory came at a heavy toll. The guilt over Eris's death. The regret of finding out the truth of the Cult. And the heavy burden of stopping Azgarmoth, the source of the mysterious Shade, from entering their world, knowing that failure means that life as they know it will end, all weighs heavily on the 16-year-old high school student. To make matters worse, because of the seal Vergil undid, the still-operating cult is now more powerful than ever, commanding an army of Shades and cultists embedded in various aspects of society. Their only hope lies with one History and Sociology Professor, who seems to be the only one to know more about the lost legend of the city of Bastillio, the legend of the Star People, and the Celestials. The stakes are higher than ever as they prepare to meet with the professor under false names and disguises. They must learn all they can of the legend, if it is even the same one, and treat every citizen they encounter as a potential cultist out to kill them.

No one is safe. The torch of man and every single intelligent being on the planet is at stake. A hyper-intelligent race known as the Endall sees themselves as the superior race and they will die trying to defend that title. There are trillions upon trillions of these things that were created by the uncaring hands of evolution as a deadline that humanity failed to reach. And then there's Mosh. Mosh is a seemingly normal giant that is nothing but a pawn in the human military's eyes but to the Writer, he's everything. A select few know who the Writer is and even fewer know the prophecy the Writer has planned for Mosh. But Mosh doesn't know. Mosh is just living his life and sees himself as an unfortunate bystander in a global crisis. But he's being watched by more than just the Writer.

Maverick explorer George Edward Challenger leads a team of world-class mountaineers to mysterious and unknown regions of Tibet in search of the Yeti: the "Abominable Snowman".

A homage to the universes of Arthur Conan Doyle and HP Lovecraft, "The Hidden Kingdom" takes you with Challenger through ancient and dangerous lands to a place beyond known experience, with romance, adventure and horror combined to take the reader into a realm of imagination and cosmic wonder!

a very different horror story in the vein of the great- H P Lovecraft.

The world expected a prophecy. They should have expected an eviction. December 21, 2012. The date etched into every headline, every bunker, and every terrified mind on the planet. While the masses flock to ancient ruins and "End of the World" parties, disgraced investigative journalist Marcus Thorne is following a lead that the cameras are ignoring. It started with a sound-the "Bloop"-a deep-sea frequency that shouldn't exist. But as Marcus tracks the signal to the furthest point in the Pacific Ocean, he discovers a terrifying truth: the Mayan calendar wasn't a warning about the sun. It was a countdown for a lid to be removed. Beneath the waves, something massive is displacing the ocean. Something that has been dreaming for eons is finally waking up. As the clocks hit zero, Marcus won't be reporting on earthquakes or solar flares. He'll be witnessing the return of the planet's true owner. History is over. The reclamation has begun.

When a single mother and her two children decide to move into an old funeral home, they quickly discover that the former owner has unleashed something sinister.

Short one-shot. The final secret of Stanley "Grunkle Stan" Pines, as revealed by a letter to his grandniblings.

Jack Hanson's discovery of a dead animal prompts a revelation of a terrifying debt he must pay. This is my first attempt at an actual story. I intend to create more with the eventuality that they will all merge. It will likely be a long work in progress. Let me know what y'all think.

A man investigates a mysterious bay, only to discover that the ocean hides ancient, living horrors-and some changes can never be undone.

Since she was young, she loved the strange, uncanny and even terrifying. Horror obsessed, not seen without a graphic tee, and wearing her neon pink scrunchie she is Fatemore's Bravest. Birch Barker looks into the mysteries, folklore and phenomena that exist within her humble city. And discovers alongside her freak of nature Shaliver what is truly causing trouble. No matter how odd, unassuming or intimidating it may be. This is a series of stories exploring her journey as Fatemore's only Practiced Paranormal Investigator.

Every summer solstice, the residents of an idyllic seaside town must pay their dues to ensure another year of security and prosperity.

This is a little (but likely growing) collection of Lovecraftian limericks. Because the world needs it.

"Beneath Diana's Moon" is a micro gothic tale set within the author's dark universe, where evil often escapes explanation and lingers beyond human reason. Amidst fire, superstition, and forgotten rites, a witness recalls the birth of something not of this world: the Janara, an ancient hunger that returns beneath the August moon. A chilling fragment where horror cannot be contained-because it still walks among us. © Jessica Magnarelli 2025 - All rights reserved"

Weird tales from the master

-- English & German versions -- A young scientist for arctic studies follows the ominous last notes of her institute's founder into something that by modern science has no right to exist: a dead place beyond ... The story here picks up ideas from my on-going worldbuilding project. It's a bit darker and maybe even more classic horror than I usually write, including also some more "baroque" language (I don't know how that happens sometimes ... ;-) ). There is an absolutely beautiful review by @TaintedBloodBooks, check it out here: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/06/08/book-review-the-blanked-cold/ And another review by reads.emma at Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_CGlLOeH6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== So proud of these :-) Btw, page 1 is the English version ("The Blanked Cold"), page 2 the German ("Die Leere Kälte"). Happy reading! --- Eine junge Wissenschaftlerin für Arktisforschung folgt den ominösen letzten Aufzeichnungen ihres Institutsgründers hin zu etwas, das gemäß moderner Wissenschaft gar nicht existieren sollte: ein Ort jenseits unserer Welt ... Die Story hier greift Ideen aus meinem aktuellen Worldbuilding-Projekt auf. Alles etwas düsterer und vielleicht sogar etwas mehr klassischer Horror, als das, was ich normalerweise schreibe, inclusive einee etwas "barockeren" Sprache (ich habe keine Ahnung, warum das manchmal so passiert ... ;-) ). Es gibt eine fantastische Rezension von @TaintedBloodBooks (auf Englisch), die findet Ihr hier: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/06/08/book-review-the-blanked-cold/ Und noch ein Review von reads.emma auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_CGlLOeH6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Frei mich total über beide :-) Btw, auf Seite 1 findet Ihr die englische Version ("The Blanked Cold"), auf Seite 2 die deutsche Version ("Die Leere Kälte") Happy reading!

A police report describing the "Solomon Film" and all the facts surrounding it. A shoebox, size eight, is all that remains. Inside is a series of photographs that when played at a rate of 24 frames per second makes a three second, "movie". Also included was a diary, with no clear beginning or middle, just a tail.

A regal young woman in mourning leaves the comfort of her manor to face unimaginable terror above the crashing waves below the cliffs of her estate. She knows she must turn back but in the hopes of getting back what she lost, she will sacrifice everything.

"The time has come for hunters like you to be useless. The curse has been lifted. No more turning man into beast. Go, scurry on home then. Recline in your rocker, put your feet above the fire. You can rest dreamless knowin' it's over." "But that isn't quite YOU, is it? "No no. Your different. Not just a pure Paleblood, no. You've got a goal about ya. Not much hunters have their own goal do they?" "And what would this introverted hunters goals be?" You:"To slay them all." "All of who?" You:"The beasts. Every last one of them!" "Ha! Well I can't say I don't appreciate your ambition! He he he." "Well good luck to you, hunter of beasts!! Aaah ha ha ha!"
