Charlotte Whitfield had always known the people who raised her were mad and she had spent her entire adult life trying to distance herself from the reputation of it - from them. From the ridicule that seemed to stick to her skin even as Charlotte worked to unravel every one of the mad things her grandfather had done. Proving every thing was nothing more than imagination. 

She proved almost all of his theories wrong and was content to continue until a letter arrived for her during a lecture. Her grandmother had set fire to her family home and Charlotte was being summoned as power of attorney. 

An almost perfect opportunity to finally remove the shadow that was her family name. Almost perfect, because her grandmother isn't who Charlotte left years ago, and the fire might not have been as much of an accident as she claims. 

In charred remains,  Charlotte finds bizarre anatomical drawings and detailed accounts of death records burned within an inch of becoming dust but there is enough for her to put together like breadcrumbs, and Charlotte isn't the only one looking for answers. 

The farther she goes, the more she stumbles upon, walking headlong into a world hidden just underneath her own and between the cracks in each rotting secret.

Your Move by stephaniejamespub

Deeply intense, and painful emotions viciously tore into the constant thoughts of Cynthia's mind. She soon learned at seven years old what it was like to not only lose her grandfather, but her best friend. However; her sadness was soon forgotten as she began playing a paranormal game of chess. Cynthia's grandfather taught her how to play over the last year, playing throughout many cherished evenings. But as the game progresses she finds that not all games are necessarily fun, and Cynthia quickly learns many times our actions have consequences. Even if unfounded, she finds that as she eagerly plays a game of chess in a dark, dusty attic, that many of our action's consequences prove quite dire. Her eagerness dissipates into a mist of fear, compounding into unforeseen scenarios. And like being slowly pushed over a cliff against her will, with only jagged rocks below to comfort her fall, Cynthia's attempts to resist appear futile.
