Substance-abuse Stories

Inspired by the Vampire Diaries and Vampire Academy. Everyone says Isabel is a monster. Lisa isn't sure she's wrong. Set in the late 1990s, this dark fantasy psychological thriller follows Willow, a girl recovering from a gunshot wound that fractured more than her body. Numbed by drugs and buried trauma, she's trying not to remember the past-or the woman who insists she's been lying about it. Isabel claims she was framed. Megan insists she's dangerous. Both say they're protecting Willow. As the adults wage a quiet war of truth and control, Willow clings to Arya, her best friend and secret vampire, whose own life has been shaped by restriction and fear. Their bond is intense, unhealthy, and necessary. When the weight of inherited lies becomes unbearable, the girls make a choice that changes everything. Some families are built on love. Others on denial. And some secrets don't stay buried. But denial has consequences. And some truths refuse to stay buried. In a world where vampirism is real, memory is unreliable, and love can be as destructive as it is protective, Colak Clan is a dark fantasy psychological thriller about trauma, motherhood, and what happens when survival turns into control.

On the night of her 25th birthday, she thought it would be just another glamping party, costumes, laughter, magic, and the chaos of friends in the fields outside London. But when the clock strikes 1:24 AM, the world changes. She collapses, and for the first time, the hidden pulse of life becomes visible. Most humans carry invisible creatures of impulse, anger, pride, or devotion. Subtle, biological distortions that twist their eyes, auras, and actions. She sees them all, but she carries nothing. Neutral. Unattached. Dangerous. In the flicker of an eye, she watches the morally bound break, forgive, betray, and protect. And when violence erupts among her guests, she realizes she can perceive what no one else can, the true essence of people revealed in a single heartbeat. Caught between two men, one driven by righteousness, the other by chaos, she observes, untouched by morality, yet immersed in the invisible war of souls. In a world where the creatures of human impulse can consume the careless, her neutrality may be the only thing that keeps her alive... But how long can one remain untouched when everyone around her is feeding the fire? Magic is real. Morality is fragile. And she is nothing.

title is subject to change to be honest this is an alternate universe to Hazbin Hotel Credit to the artist of the photo in using for the cover This might be a bit of a hard to read book because, the beginning parts are going to focus more on Angeldust and Valentino so please only read this if you can handle strong, adult themes, like domestic abuse, implications rape (I have not and will not actually write the scenes but, it will in deed be implied), heavy drug use, alcoholism, gambling, demon trafficking (aka the trading of souls between overlords in hell). I do hope you enjoy the book it will probably be way more angsty than most of my books but, Ive been wanting to write something like this for awhile but either wasn't sure I could, or that y'all wouldn't like it because it's gonna be messy and probably kinda triggering. That said you have been warned

Ava Morgan was never the "problem child." She had friends. She had family. She had a life that looked perfectly normal from the outside. But pressure doesn't always scream. Sometimes it whispers. Between school expectations, family tension, friendships that started to shift, and the constant need to be "okay," Ava begins to feel something she can't explain - a heavy emptiness that follows her everywhere. It starts small. An energy drink to stay awake. A sip of alcohol at a party. A hit of weed to quiet her thoughts. A vape to calm the anxiety. Nothing feels dangerous at first. Nothing feels like addiction. Until it is. As the lines between coping and escaping begin to blur, Ava finds herself drifting further from the people who love her - especially her younger cousin Lily, who still sees her as a hero. This is a story about teen pressure, silent struggles, bad choices that don't feel bad at the time, and how addiction doesn't always start with rebellion - sometimes it starts with pain. Raw. Honest. Personal. Because sometimes the girl who's "fine" is the one falling apart.

Kelsey has made it her life's mission to eradicate the events of the past two years from her memory. If only it were that simple. In this emotionally charged sequel to Empty Me Out, discover how one split decision hollowed a heart, and how one tortured soul sought redemption.

**AMAZON BESTSELLER & SUMMER INDIE BOOK AWARDS TOP 3 WINNER IN NEW ADULT FICTION** Straight-laced Kelsey loathes the college party scene, despite her best friend's efforts to help her "let loose" and live a little. But one night, under rather unpleasant circumstances, she meets Mark and finds herself falling for him despite his involvement in the very lifestyle she so vehemently despises. While wrestling her own personal demons, Kelsey's capacity for forgiveness is tested-repeatedly-as Mark plunges in and out of the treacherous waters of self-destruction and unpredictability. In time, she begins to question whether his behavior is just typical of someone living the "college experience" or if perhaps a deeper problem exists that she is not equipped to handle. Will love see them through to calmer shores? Or will their fractured fairytale ultimately leave them feeling empty?

*warning: these poems are about drug abuse and violence. Not intended for younger readers.

"I gave you your chance to escape."

They say you know a tree by its fruit. But what happens when they're all rotten? Mae had one goal-make it into med school and prove her father wrong. But after bombing the MCAT and dumping her narcissistic boyfriend, she jumps at the chance to join a prestigious lab working to end mental suffering. What she didn't expect when moving to Ashcroft was the sweet, putrid smell of its men-except for her new friends Xion and Elijah-and the small issue of residents turning into shadowy monsters. She also didn't expect the top funder of her project to take a deeper interest-not just in her work, but in her demons. Xion is a troubled forensic investigator who just wants to finish his master's thesis and catch the next train out of town. Until Mae crashes into him-literally-causing him to spiral into what he can only describe as spiritual psychosis. As if Elijah, his oh-so-helpful roommate, wasn't enough, now he's seeing lights around Mae's head-and waking up in dangerous places with no memory of how he got there. Together, the trio begins unraveling a malevolent force-one rooted in the very institutions meant to protect them. As whispers spread and corruption tightens its grip, they'll have to decide: will they succumb to the darkness blooming inside them, or fight to become something more? Because in Ashcroft, when your soul dies, your body doesn't always follow.
