Westernthriller Stories

Zora Rae Turner was full of life - curious, bold, and dreaming of a world beyond the dusty roads of her small Southern town. But now she drifts through a quiet version of home, caught in the soft blur between memory and something else entirely. Days repeat with a strange familiarity. Her mama hums in the kitchen. Her best friend Avery visits like always. Her boyfriend Colt still promises a future. But something is wrong. As Zora pieces together fragments of her world - voices that don't reach her, reflections that don't always look back - a haunting truth begins to stir beneath the surface. What happened that night by the willow tree? Why does everything feel like it's already been lived? Told through a slow unravel of poetic recollection, Where Time Lingers is a Southern Gothic ghost story about love that lingers, violence masked as devotion, and the fight to be seen even after you've been forgotten. This is Zora Rae's story. And she's not done telling it.

Long before "Red Rabbit," Sadie Grace was fifteen years old, living among nine strange girls in a secluded coven where no one knew where she had come from, least of all Sadie herself. Then, one winter, she meets Jonathan, a young farm boy out hunting beneath a large tree where she often goes to have peace. What begins as curiosity becomes the great love of Sadie's long and unnatural life. But something ancient is beginning to awaken inside her, and from the shadows of the woods, a black hound with yellow eyes is watching her. Before Sadie Grace was the witch of Burden County, there a boy who loved her, a shapeshifting guardian, and a nameless child whose birth would change her life forever. This is the story of the hound, the witch...and the nameless child.
