Kath lived a quiet life, with only family and the occasional travellers to disrupt her solitude. She was happy this way, was proud of what she built up and was prepared to live in this home for all her days.
Lately, rumours had been spreading around about a group of demons who would travel into her villages and take people's houses, and sometimes the people themselves. Kath doesn't believe these rumours, until she finds herself in their grasp.

Abel & Aosoth
Abel, a native of Wisconsin, was involved in a violent crash when he was nine, causing him to lose his arm and his sister when she was ejected from the car. In an attempt to wash the stains of death from their family name, Abel and his parents decide to move to Massachusetts, where they take up the oldest house on Buford St. But as the days drag by, Abel begins to know all too well why the two-story brick house was left abandoned for so many years. Now at the age of ten, he knows he cannot trust his father, who thus far hasn't believed him, his mother, who has been subject to frequent possessions, his counselor, who is too light hearted for a conversation about demons, or any of the public who would lock him up under the suspicion of being a nutcase. Which, as the situation has proved many times, leaves only Mia, who doubles as full-time bookworm and his closest and most brave friend. As he faces the death of his sister, bullying at school, and constant hauntings, Abel and Mia must find a way to best the spirit that so demandingly wants to drive them insane. Of course, there is only one way to do this: get it to give up its name. Only can the pair rest if the soul of his sister is abandoned by the demon who wants him dead most.Complete

Dear Adelaide,
On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Adelaide Cottlethorne slipped in the tub. At least that's what they tell her replacement. Cottlethorn Manor is a house where time stands still. Where memories are never lost. And days are never broken. The family that resides there is perfect. Doll-faced. Porcelain. Well, almost. With anticipations, they await their new daughter dearest. The one to wear the locket. The girl to fill the shoes. When Olivia arrives at their doorstep, flustered from the eyes in the leaves, with a suitcase in hand, she wants nothing more than a blank slate and a chance to gain a last name. Upon meeting the family that waits behind closed doors, she swiftly takes on the role of the Cottlethorne's perfect new daughter. There's just one rule: "No Mention of the Past". But when Olivia begins recalling someone else's memories, that are somehow replacing her own, strange melodies, footsteps in the ceiling, and golden visions of blood-filled tubs, she also begins to suspect that nothing at the manor is quite as "perfect" as it seems. The family will not speak a word of Adelaide's death. In fact, no one seems able to recall it happening in the first place. They instead, all seem focused on what they refer to as "the most important day of all". Olivia's eighteenth birthday is coming up soon. And she is beginning to forget her own name.Complete

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching.
