*Editing* 

Art can be beautiful and disturbing. Sculptures can be made from clay, but never flesh. In this circumstance, art is debated and adored. Will an artist be able to put himself into his work with no self-portrait?

Donatella Claire, an art student, and blogger who sought out new material for her website. Finally living the dream and discovering artworks of all kinds, she stumbles upon an artwork drenched in solitude. The Louvre has many historical works on display but refuses to publicize one in particular. 

'An artwork without emotion is no artwork': Edvard Munch.
But one may ask, what then, is art?: Marcel Duchamp.

Her love for art threatens her relationship, her passion for it causes her to face her mistakes. Her determination drives her into the supernatural. What happens next, is left on the sketchpad.

"Am I going to break you, Case? Or are you bamboo?" The days are dry and hot, school is out, and all 17-year-old Case wants to do is party hard with his friends over the Fourth of July weekend. But when a drug deal goes wrong, his plans for an epic summer vacation are cut short. Case is taken captive, driven halfway across the country, and locked in a basement he can't escape. No one knows he is missing. No one knows where he is. No one is coming to save him. With his life on the line, Case is forced into an abusive relationship with his captor. But when his own thoughts begin to betray him, twisting hope with despair, and fear with love, can Case truly survive long enough to escape?

The girl from the mire by pauljohnnelson

We are ghosts waiting to be ghosts. This book concerns a girl who becomes conscious with no memory of her past. The world of this story is where the cavernous brutality of Veronica Roth's Divergent crashes over the parapet and into the stranding paranoia of JG Ballard's Concrete Island and both are beaten to death by the panopticism of Michel Foucault's Discipline and Punish. This is literary fiction disguised as dystopian horror. Warning: graphic violence and sex. 18+ "The soul is the prison of the body." Michel Foucault Accolades: #1 in existential. #1 in Nietzsche #1 in Foucault #2 in postmodern 1st place in The Inclusive Watty Awards horror category. 2nd place in The Riot Awards 2022 Horror/Sci-fi category. "The uniqueness of this story is superb, never have I ever seen anything similar to it, from your plotline to your writing style. Awesome!" -ibirockerchick (judge) 2nd place in The Rain Flower Contest 2022- horror/mystery genre. 2nd place in the Writers Appreciation Awards 2022 best hook category. "This is amazing. The plot looks original, unique and refreshing and so is it's execution. I fell in love with your writing and descriptions. They have me hooked for sure. The pace is also commendable." WAA judge

Deep Like Water (Yandere!BEN Drowned X GN!Reader) by jarofrottenapples

You never expected your parents to abandon you at the age of sixteen, and if it wasn't for the man your parents took in when you were ten, you would have been completely alone. Even after a year, you still half-expected them to come back. Your seventeenth birthday came and went with only two people to celebrate it, and you weren't related to either of them. Then came your eighteenth with the same two people. Your hobbies carried you through the loneliness that you found yourself in-although, your guardian told you again and again that ghost hunting wasn't a hobby. When a string of murders ravaged your town, your interest in both the paranormal and technology came in handy. If it wasn't for you, the case would never have been solved, and you never would have brought someone back from the dead, even if he did torture you with his embarrassingly truthful compliments and flirtatious lines. (this is a work of fiction. all the Pastas belong to their original creators. they are not real, nor am i saying that they are. the only thing i own is the plot and any OCs. please do not re-write my work. this is not a romanticisation.)

The Folveshch by FinnyH

[Formerly Featured/Award-Winning Novella/#2 in Horror] There is something eerie about this village -- this hole of silent, maddened people. In 1922 my Papa told me of a faceless entity that lurks amongst us in our isolated slice of Russia. The locals have kept this horror alive for a century, though the only ones who claim to have seen the Folveshch have succumbed to a life of sightless silence. My name is Stefan Alyovich and the people around me are changing. They slip into worsening madness every winter, and I ask myself: how much longer before I'm the only sane one left? ... The only one left alone with the Folveshch. ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟- ↟ • 21,000 word novella • Rank #2 in Horror • Rank #4 in Mystery • Horror winner of Greatbelt U.F Award 2015 • CBY October Book of the Month 2014 • The Cryptic Awards Best Horror Winner 2017 • Wattpad HQ Winter Escapes Reading List • Wattpad HQ Stranger Things Reading List • Fright Top Horror/Featured Horror/Stranger Things Reading Lists • Mystery Paranormal Mystery Reading List • ThePurgeMovie Urban Legends Reading List • TheGallowsMovie Best of Thrillers Reading List • Blairwitchmovie Top Horror/Thriller Reading List • OuijaMovie Top Horror Reading List • IncarnateMovie Top Horror ↟- ↟ - ↟ - ↟- ↟- ↟ - ↟ - ↟ - ↟- ↟ - ↟ - ↟ - ↟ - ↟-

To Steal a Weeping Widow by BritishGravity

Someone stole the Weeping Widow. The priceless artwork is gone, ripped from its place on the wall and leaving only broken glass behind. The pride of Whitehill Museum and Art Gallery fell victim to heists in the night, and the museum is determined to find the painting and nail the culprit. She's been labelled the main suspect after being found at the scene of the crime. He's been hired to protect Whitehill and keep the rest of the art safe. Both with a job to do at the museum, and both determined to fix broken reputations. But the biggest question of all haunts the exhibits they roam: who stole the Weeping Widow? They painted her the villain. He's learning art is open for interpretation. -------------------------- "Art is to be seen, not touched." His breath curled next to my ear. "But I'd do anything to touch you." "Are you saying I'm art?" My heart knew no limit as it pulsed in my throat, right where his lips began to hover. "As beautiful as what hangs in the Louvre, and just as forbidden to touch." Disclaimer: all works depicted above the chapters are real works, and some real works are mentioned throughout.
