Emma thought death was the end, but it was only the beginning.
Through the advancement of nineteenth century science, Emma has been brought back to life, but not as she was. She has become a new person, created from the sewn remains of the dead. Emma awakens in a strange new world that she doesn't understand. The life she left behind still echoes within her, though no matter how she reaches for it, the memories slip away.
Yet another force hides in the shadows, and threatens to throw Germany into war. Emma's newly found world begins to crumble, and she must soon decide whether she wishes to begin her life anew or continue with the life she left behind--and whether she belongs in the world of the living or the dead.

Undead Doll
Freya wasn't supposed to live past fifteen. Sick, forgotten, and confined to a sterile hospital room, she had already resigned herself to dying, until the night her doctor turned into a predator and she became a killer. But death, it seems, no longer has a hold on her. Waking up in the home of the enigmatic Dr. Mikhail Vasiliev, Freya discovers that the price of survival is much higher than she imagined. Cursed by hunger, bound to the man who remade her, she must navigate a world of shadows and desires where blood is both food and sin. As her humanity crumbles and her new power lures her into darkness, Freya faces an impossible choice: surrender to the monster she has become, or forge her own path through the cold embrace of immortality. Seductive, violent, and heartbreakingly intimate, Undead Doll is a gothic descent into obsession, power, and the fragile line between victim and predator.
I've Come to a Conclusion
This just in: Nerdy outcast develops feelings for his research partner, who is also a nerdy outcast, and together they attempt to reenact the events of Frankenstein, and somehow, this leads to time-hopping and the questioning of morbid morality. × × × × × Ynez Alvares, wide-eyed and spirited, started off as an intern under Xeno Klein, a brilliant scientist labelled a madman. A moment of understanding leads to an undeniably deep connection, but Ynez only realizes how deep their connection truly is when tragedy struck, leading to their separation. Overwhelmed by this tragedy, Ynez fogs his own vision with rainclouds. And by some means, he finds himself in an alternate reality, where the tragedy had a more desirable resolve - the presence of his dearest friend Xeno Klein. A moral dilemma overtakes Ynez as he's torn between staying in this alternate reality or returning to his own. Because something is wrong with this alternate reality, but is that worth looking past if it means Xeno is by his side? cw: violence, descriptions of body horror/gore, course language and sex. this story takes place after my other story "My Dying Star" but can be read as a standalone. i mainly wrote it because i liked the whole dead wife thing in silent hill :)
Through Blood and Ash
Through Blood and Ash. What's left after everything burns? --------- They warned us. We didn't listen. Now the world is dead - and the dead are all that's left. The year is 6062, and humanity has collapsed under the weight of its own arrogance. A cure meant to save us twisted into something monstrous, turning loved ones into soulless predators with only one instinct: kill. Cara has lost everything - her family, her home, and the illusion that safety still exists. With a small band of survivors, she clings to life on the run, haunted by the screams of those she couldn't save... especially her brother. But when a desperate choice forces them back into the infected zones, Cara will have to decide what's worse: the monsters outside, or the guilt that's been tearing her apart from within. In a world where hope is dying and nightmares walk in daylight, survival comes at a cost - and not everyone is willing to pay it. -------------------------------- REWRITTEN I've gone back and rewritten this story from the ground up. As well as changed the name. The original had a strong foundation, but I knew there was more I could bring to it-more depth, more heart, and a better reading experience. I truly hope you enjoy this new version. And if you're returning from the original, thank you for sticking with me-I hope this one resonates with you just as much, if not more.Complete

To smile with the taste of souls in their veins and vengeance in their hearts. To feed the ghosts and the monsters within them.

Anoxia
Xylia has always teetered between madness and prophecy. For years she's dreamed events before they happen a gift that's left her paranoid, unstable, alone. In a world where consciousness is a bug and gods are algorithms with ego problems, Xylia will learn that reality isn't meant to be understood. It's meant to be rewritten. Here, divination is a sentence. And knowing the truth... is the first step to losing yourself. ✒️✦ This isn't a book. It's a gradual collapse. You won't find maps. You'll find glitches. Not heroes. Fractures. Not worldbuilding. But worlds that come apart while you watch. Xylia is a contaminated consciousness. She overthinks. She mis-feels. She fixates on details no one else sees. That doesn't make her wrong. It makes her real. If you feel lost, good. If you feel unsettled, stay. In this world, coherence is a lie. And breath... is something you learn only when it's gone. Welcome to Anoxia. The first 5 chapters in English are now up! Next batch (chapters 6-10) coming this Friday. This is an ongoing self-translation project - raw, glitchy, and deeply personal. Thanks for reading, bleeding, and glitching with me. 🖤 I'm Italian and I'm translating my novel myself-so if you spot errors or phrases that could be smoother in English, please tell me. You'd be helping me immensely! 👁️ Read Anossia and tell me what crosses your mind. Your comments are the heart of this project.
