Juniper, an empath, fights to save two strangers after reality gives way to a hellscape on Earth. When chaos tears apart the city, she settles in with the darkness. Her job as a sex worker makes for easy living, as she can anticipate client emotion. She never imagines using her abilities to help anyone, until she meets Ashley Heard.

Ashley witnesses her father's murder at the hands of home invaders and is forced to flee a decaying city. When Juniper saves her, she has no choice but to follow the only adult who hasn't yet tried to kill her.

Meanwhile, a nameless twelve-year old boy chronicles his experiences in a deranged man's basement, all the time wondering about the fate of his friend, Ashley. Together with other captives, he plans an escape. However, once Outside, the survivors encounter monsters of a different kind.

Despite their hellish surroundings, three people manage to briefly connect in their efforts to navigate a strange and harsh New World.

Seven Survivors by madisonrae19

Going on a school trip abroad can be described with many juxtaposing thoughts, but should never be linked to fatalities or injury.

With her friend's dead, no food or water and death lurking at every turn, she's sure her time has come and she will die (nearly) alone. But then the boy she was sure always hated her rose to the occasion and saved her from herself, making her realise she must never stop fighting. Together, will they be able to connect the group of survivors, and escape the jungle? *completed and edited but there may still be some mistakes*

𝐻𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝐵𝑦 𝐻𝑢𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑠, 𝐿𝑜𝑣𝑒𝑑 𝐵𝑦 𝑀𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟 by gunshyboo

[This story is horror Erotica/Dark Erotica] Alexis "Alex" Cross, an urban explorer and journalist with a reputation for diving into the darkest corners of the world, has always been mistaken for a man due to her androgynous appearance. This suits her just fine-it keeps people at a distance and lets her focus on uncovering the truth behind the mysteries she pursues. When she hears about Ravenhurst Keep, a decaying mansion hidden deep in a forgotten forest, she's immediately intrigued. The manor's sinister history-filled with tales of ghostly apparitions and unexplained disappearances-promises the story of a lifetime. But from the moment Alex steps inside, Ravenhurst Keep proves to be far more than she bargained for. The mansion, seemingly alive, traps her within its walls, and a brutal attack leaves her face scarred and her left eye destroyed. When she awakens in the basement, she finds her wounds mysteriously healed, but something is horribly wrong. Her left eye now reveals a horrifying new world-Ravenhurst Keep is filled with monsters, beings of unsettling beauty and terrifying power. These creatures, while seductive, are as dangerous as they are alluring, pulling Alex into a deadly dance where desire and danger are intertwined. Yet, they are not her only threat. The mansion is also home to other trapped souls-humans who have been twisted by the curse that binds them to this place. Seeing Alex as a rival, they hunt her relentlessly, driven mad by their own desperation to escape. Caught between the seductive pull of the monsters and the deadly wrath of the damned souls, Alex must navigate the mansion's ever-changing halls. Each step closer to freedom risks losing her humanity-and her very soul. "Hunted by Humans, Loved by Monsters" is an erotic horror tale of survival, where love and terror are inseparable in a nightmare that refuses to end.

Demons roam the Earth, spirits of the dead speak to the living, and every adult above the age of 23 has completely vanished from the Earth. One of the survivors is Isaac, an ex-serial killer with an unknown connection to this Hell dimension. He's famous with the demons, and his connection with them has made him immortal. With the aid of his little sister, his psycho girlfriend, and his new allies, Isaac will fight through the reign of demons and find out why he's connected to Hell. And fight to survive their unending nightmare.

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Age of Demons by Taylor_Merlot6

Ashlyn and Emery share a secret: they're possessed. And they both want out. Out of the safe houses they're trapped in. For the past seven years, demons have overrun the earth, possessing and extinguishing most of the human race. What's left of the population has taken refuge in safe houses, hiding from the horror that exists in their new world. Ashlyn is trapped in Deliverance, a safe house governed by a cult. There, the leader has manipulated the people to believe that Ashlyn is their savior. As fabled, she will guide them into the next world, away from the one polluted by demons. But in order to do that, she must be sacrificed. Emery is eager to defect from her current safe house, but she can't leave without her brother. However, when the community witnesses Emery destroy a demon with her bare hands, she's chased away and cursed as a monster. As secrets unravel and betrayals arise, both Ashlyn and Emery hold the key to ending the age of the demons. And as the line between safety and possession blurs, they will have to confront the darkness inside in order to combat the enemy before them. *1st place winner for the 2020 Rose Gold Awards in Paranormal* *1st place for the Bookaholics Awards in Paranormal/Horror* *2nd place for the Paper Awards 1st Ed. in Horror/Paranormal* *2nd place winner for the Ecco Awards in Horror/Paranormal* *2rd place winner for the Rose Thorn Awards in Horror* *3rd place winner for the Sunflower Awards 2.0 in Horror/Paranormal* *Runner-Up Winner for The Sunflower Awards in Fantasy* --Cover designed by @SexyLatina16 --

Dark mind by Ali_Adair

It was like we were playing a sick game of chess, trying to guess each others movement's and at the same time, worrying about our own. I didn't have a choice and was forced to say "Game on bitch." -------------------------------- Life for Juniper was never easy, even as a child. Her family was complicated, and she herself has always suffered from mental illneses that made her days hard enough as it was, not just for her but for her drug addict skitzophrenic father and bipolar alcoholic mother. As she kept growing up, the world around her became darker and darker until, at the age of sixteen, a man with a dark shadow and distorted, spine chilling voice infiltrated her nightmares, with the promise to bring her agony and pain if she did not do as he said. Now, Juniper is forced to act fast, for her life hangs by a thread. She must uncover the truth of her past, look past the lies of her parents and her own childhood, and fill in the blanks whilst dealing with loud voices in her head, shadows that follow her every move, and a man who she must obey in order to save her sanity, her life and herself. The question still remains, who is this strange man who threatens her very existence? Will she be able to stop him before he kills her, before he traps her in the darkness forever? Will she whistand the torture, will she handle it all? Or will she snap, will she bend and break like her father did, and his father before him? Because, after all, we are all fragile humans, there is only so much we can take. -------------------------------- * Contains swearing, may be triggering and is undergoing mayor editing . * Best Ranking: #1- Skitsofrenia #2- Alluring
