A Stranger I've Always Known by RichardTsai

Maya Stevens is a woman anchored in reality. As a brilliant young art curator in New York City, her life is a carefully catalogued collection of facts, dates, and provenances. But the art is beginning to bleed into her life in ways she can't explain. She suffers from dreams of a medieval fortress, the scent of woodsmoke, and the silver-gray eyes of a dark-haired stranger who holds her as she dies. She possesses an unnerving, intimate knowledge of history she never learned. And in a forgotten corner of the museum hangs a centuries-old portrait of an unknown lady whose face is, impossibly, her own. Maya believes she is losing her mind. Until he walks into her life. Lucian Ashford. A billionaire benefactor as handsome, brilliant, and ancient as the artifacts he collects. His gaze is too intense, his knowledge of history too personal, and his every touch feels like a jolt of phantom memory. He is a stranger, yet her very soul seems to recognize him, to ache for him with a longing that spans centuries. He offers her a world of impossible truths and a love story written across a thousand years. But Lucian is not just a mysterious suitor. He is a creature of the night, with secrets darker than any shadow and enemies far older than any city. And his obsession with Maya is about to reawaken an ancient war, placing her at the center of a battle she doesn't even know she's been fighting for six lifetimes. She thought she was haunted by a ghost. She's about to discover the ghost is ...

Whispers in the Frame by TravellingSpoon

When Kim Blackwell finds an old painting hidden in her grandfather's basement, she never expects it to speak - or to whisper her name. The voice belongs to Vespera, a woman from another century, trapped between life and art by a forgotten spell. Drawn into Vespera's secrets, Kim uncovers the story of Petralune, a dark elixir said to move souls between bodies - and destroy them in the process. As magic, memory, and guilt intertwine, Kim must face what's real, what's illusion, and what it means to love something you can't ever truly hold.

Whispers of The Shadows by Sarttini

Elara Vance, a disillusioned art restorer, retreats to her isolated hometown of Blackwood Creek only to discover the source of its oppressive gloom: a parasitic entity called The Murmur. This psychic darkness feeds on human despair and has been secretly cultivated for a century by the town's founding families, the Descendants, who use it as a tool for political and financial control. The nightmare becomes agonizingly personal when Elara realizes her closest friend, Liam O'Connell, has been indoctrinated and made the Murmur's primary vessel. Partnering with the cynical Detective Marcus, Elara dives into hidden historical archives, learning that the Descendants weren't worshipping a god, but attempting to control a weapon through ritual sacrifices and maintained social depression. In a desperate, final confrontation, Elara and Marcus race against the remaining corrupt officials to banish the Murmur before it can anchor itself in a new, devastating public ritual. Using her knowledge of chemistry and restoration, and catalyzed by the sacrifice of their historian ally, Elara confronts the entity and neutralizes the Warden's Lantern, the Murmur's original summoning relic, severing its link to the town. With the Descendants exposed and jailed, Blackwood Creek begins its long, painful healing process. Elara finds peace and prepares to leave, but as she drives away, she discovers a faint, cold mark of the Murmur's symbol etched onto her collarbone. She hears the entity's low, internal hum-dormant, but tethered directly to her spirit. Elara has become the darkness's reluctant new Conduit, carrying the silent promise of its return beyond the borders of Blackwood Creek.

Beyond the Frame by Crimson_Skii

When Detective Evie Graves is called to a prestigious art museum to investigate the violent deaths of two restoration experts, she expects another tragic but solvable case. But as she uncovers the details of their untimely end, one chilling truth becomes clear: something far darker than simple human violence lurks in the shadows of the museum. A single painting-hidden away and left covered by a cloth-holds the key. As Evie dares to uncover its secrets, strange whispers begin to echo through the halls, and the line between reality and nightmare begins to fade. With every passing moment, the painting's influence grows, bending her mind, distorting her senses, and drawing her deeper into its madness. Is the curse real, or is it all in her head? Either way, Evie is about to find out-if she can hold on to her sanity long enough to uncover the truth.

Whispered Shadows by Laconie1975

Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.
