Eighteen-year-old Seraphine Valen's life shatters after a blood-soaked tragedy leaves her the sole survivor. But survival comes with a price-she discovers she wields an unholy power: the ability to command death itself. Her touch can end lives, her will can summon destruction, and the darkness within her is a force she barely understands. Her newfound power makes her the target of the Banes-nightmarish creatures determined to enslave humanity and claim Seraphine as their weapon of ultimate annihilation. Pursued across a world falling to ruin, she is thrust into a deadly game she doesn't understand and cannot escape. When all hope seems lost, Seraphine is drawn into Death's Castle, a place where shadows whisper and the air hums with ancient magic. Within its labyrinthine halls, she encounters a trio of enigmatic allies: a diviner who peers beyond the veil of time, a war vampire with a thirst for both battle and blood, and a battle-hardened brute whose strength is matched only by his loyalty. Together, they unveil the harrowing truth of her ancestry-a lineage intertwined with darkness and light. Yet, as Seraphine grapples with her monstrous heritage, an even greater evil stirs in the void-a primordial darkness that seeks to devour all existence.

I wrote some short stories out of enjoyment. None are connected in any way. Some are dark, others have suicidal actions and thoughts, a few deal with "break-ups".

Genevieve Timmons has made her living posing as a spiritualist to swindle wealthy believers, until one misstep lands her in a jail cell awaiting the noose. Then a stranger, Mr. Lockhart, arrives to make her a peculiar offer. The lord he serves, Mr. Pemberton, has been grieving the mysterious death of his beautiful bride-to-be for six months. Although no foul play was ever uncovered, the young lord is convinced that she was murdered. If Genevieve can hold a séance to persuade him that his betrothed's spirit is at peace, Mr. Lockhart promises to have the charges against her dismissed and reward her with enough money to start a new life. But when Genevieve arrives at Somerset Park estate, she discovers that the handsome and aloof Mr. Pemberton is anything but the heartbroken lover she expected. Mr. Pemberton then approaches Genevieve with an offer of his own: together, they will stage a séance so convincing it will coax the killer out of the shadows. Attempting to play both sides until she can determine which plan holds the key to her freedom, Genevieve prepares to stage a haunting. But when ghoulish incidents begin to plague the manor, the dogged heroine realizes her tricks may not be required after all.

Luciano by El_author

Judith's Shadow by pauljohnnelson

The girl from the mire: part 2 Were we ever alive? Were we ever here? Were we ever? Judith exists in a graveyard. Her tombstone is so old that it looks like a smooth glacial stone. Protrudes into her dusty, dormant grass world. Inhabitants are terrified of their interpretation of her, since they can only witness Judith's shadow. To such corporeal, it seems like nothing casts a dark reflection upon the corpse grey rocks and the twisty dead border trees. She grins into every nervous wretch with each encounter. But something lures. At the bottom of a dirty old lake there's a house where a back door to another world sparks a glitter in her curiosity. Adventure awaits the graveyard girl if she decides that it's time to leave the purgatory of her home. Judith's been numb for so long that she's forgotten what it's like to feel. No knowledge of society and its etiquette. Naked before the spectre of such ideological apparatus. Maybe it's truly time to be departed. Her red head axe awaits through the vertical rabbit hole. So does the bone saw horror of who she might've been. "The living night is dissipated in the brightness of death." Michel Foucault Warning: graphic violence and graphic sex. 18+ Second place in the 2022 Lotus awards Adventure genre. Fist place in the 2022 Lotus awards Science Fiction genre. First place in the 2022 Witchwood awards writing style category.
