Doesn't she realise that someone might be dying?
"But the scream," I say. And then it strikes me.
She has not heard the scream.

It all began with a chapel.
And mist.
And a grave.
And it ends with a chapel.
And mist.
And a grave.
Or two.

Sixteen year old Eva Devon moves to Corpsands hoping for a fresh start -- to escape bad memories. But what she doesn't know is the truth about Corpsands and it's malicious past. She doesn't sign up for the voices, or the mysterious La Chanson De Destin. She doesn't know about the deaths. She doesn't know about the curse.
But most importantly, she doesn't know about the Mist.
The Mist... it takes all.

Something Strange
Whispers in the Dark: Part One - Strange Beginnings In the mist-veiled town of Blackthorn, where forgotten folklore lingers like smoke, 19-year-old Sarah's nightmares blaze into terrifying reality. Consumed by visions of infernos that devour everything in their path, she confronts a towering, faceless shadow that whispers her name-leaving behind a searing, pulsing mark on her wrist that defies explanation. As the dreams seep into her waking world-ethereal voices slithering through silence, reflections haunted by lurking silhouettes, and the relentless chill of unseen eyes- a storm unleashes an enigmatic stranger into her life. Tall and brooding, with eyes like storm clouds and an aura that flickers lights and stirs the air, he enters her dusty bookstore seeking tales of the town's cursed history. Their fleeting touch ignites a jolt of icy fire through her veins, binding her fate to his. Whispers ripple through Blackthorn: a nameless wanderer at the inn, drawing shadows like moths to flame. Her fiery best friend Lily urges caution, sensing danger in his wake, while the wise librarian unveils chilling truths-ancient powers stirring, shadows that hunt the marked, and Sarah ensnared at the epicenter. As the stranger's gaze pierces the night from darkened corners, Sarah realizes the flames aren't mere dreams. Something primordial hungers for her soul, and the veil between terror and truth is crumbling. Will she outrun the whisper... or become its echo? A gripping supernatural horror thriller laced with psychological dread, small-town secrets, and the inescapable pull of destiny.

Having entrusted her with his past, finding a friend in her, he is forced to beat the information out of her, sparing neither strength nor blows. #20 in #Ghost 15.01.2025 #2 in #Price 15.01.2025 An excerpt: A small ritual she had been repeating for the past few days seemed foolish to many. Sometimes, even to herself. "Lor," a quiet voice behind her made her flinch. "You know the base is already lit up. There's no need to leave him a light on." "I know," she briefly glanced at all the lights around. Her tiny lamp made no physical difference amidst all that brightness. "It's a sign, Keegan. Leaving a light on for those who are supposed to come home." "You're waiting for him despite everything he's done to you? After all the pain you've been through?" he touched the bruise on her arm, fully aware that there were more she kept hidden. "Yes." Slow burn. Strangers to lovers to enemies.

Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone.

Haunted
The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]Complete

Spirit Mary
At the edge of the town, the crumbling shell of a once-splendid manor sits like a tombstone, untouched and unloved. The townsfolk dare not touch it, and those who come too close are said to disappear... At a very young age, Mary Nightingale busies herself with something the religious and superstitious Bridgelyn Town frowns upon: studies about the unknown--studies about specters, daemons, and other abstracts which exist far beyond humans. Her refusal to adhere to local beliefs has been a gamble for her identity and safety. Some may call her journey to the ruins fate; some may call it a most terrifying misfortune. After all, the dirty secret hiding in the ruins--they who have been lurking under everyone's noses... ... may very well want to remain a secret! (Highest Rank: #73 in Paranormal)Complete
If I Die Young
(Prequel to Clair de Lune) "We're born to believe the opposite of different is normal, and vice versa. Well, I'm the opposite of both." I lost my parents just before my fifteenth birthday. The circumstances were deemed accidental and it was swept under the rug. Truth is, someone covered up the whole situation and I was sent somewhere I knew no one would find me. I was swept under the rug too. Critter Ridge Orphanage is an old building placed in the pines somewhere in the state of New Jersey, run by a kindly woman and housing a family of others like me. Boys and girls all different in their own aspects. They didn't like me and I didn't like them, which was fine. Miss Huld, the owner, seemed to like me enough and that was all I needed. Things changed, though. They found a dead body on our property and everyone scrambled to lock the doors and bar the windows. The normal kids at school all started to edge away from us, from me in particular. They called us witches and devil worshippers. They were scared they might be next. I couldn't keep my nose out of where it didn't belong and then everyone was involved in the mystery. There's ghosts around every corner in this house, and if we don't figure out what's wrong here, we might just become the next ones.Complete
The Shorekeeper
Cassian Vale was once a sailor-maybe a smuggler, maybe a wreck diver, maybe a fugitive. His memories are fractured, glimpses of sea spray, fire, hands slipping beneath waves, and a woman's voice singing as the world went black. He carries deep grief, though he doesn't yet know its source. There's someone he failed to save. Someone whose voice still echoes in his dreams. His last true memory is of a storm that shouldn't have existed. In truth, he's been here before. He died once-washed into the sea, body broken, soul scattered. The siren sang him back. Or maybe the sea did. Either way, he doesn't remember dying. Just the drowning. - The locals call it Saint's Rest, a place whispered about in dying breaths and near-drowning hallucinations. A place where you go when you're running-from the world, from your past, from yourself. You're found by a woman who sings to the sea. They say she's one of the Saltwater Saints-beings chosen by the ocean, touched by something older than gods. But she's no witch. She's something far more dangerous. She is a siren, cursed-or blessed-to walk among humans. She has a voice that can command, seduce, or destroy. She trades music for memories. Her presence quiets storms... or summons them. And for reasons she doesn't explain, she helps you.Complete
