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.

The Confluence by actual_entropy9

It is September of 1983 and in a sleepy town nestled within the backwoods of Oregon, a murder case of unparalleled savagery pulls in high school student Suzie Mayweather and homicide detective Adrian Stein into a maelstrom of darkness and secrets. As each struggle for answers brings them closer to a terrifying truth about the town, themselves, and the world around them, they are forced into confrontation with a darkness of near incomprehensible nature. Drawing connections from the past can paint a picture more horrifying then any human mind can understand.

She can almost feel the murkiness which dwells in the woods.

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.

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 ...

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.

Wickerman Cove by Dark_Sheep_Books

Marine Staff Sergeant Stephanie Zoubareya is on medical leave after breaking the golden rule of the Corps: don't put ghosts in your report. Certainly don't follow them into the Malian desert and fight a fundamentalist militia. (It might not technically be a golden rule, but it should be.) As she contemplates what she's going to do with the rest of her life, she gets an under the table gig protecting a mute archaeologist. All they have to do is drive to New England, check out a statue, spend some of the NSA's money on hotel that looks out onto the sea. But that was before she killed a monster in a New York alleyway, or a religious cult cornered them at a gas station. Now she's worried that Dr. Penny Etrange is more than she seems, that Wickerman Cove has a secret, and that she might not actually be working for the NSA.

The Velmuda World by ZameenaFaleel

Maya Anderson's world begins to feel muted after a strange exam, a feeling that becomes a terrifying reality when she boards a mysterious bus. She and a new student, Ethan Hayes, discover they are bound by a shared nightmare: a world of shadows and whispers known as Velmuda, where reality is a fragile, tearing veil. As they become an "anchor" and a "watcher," they are pulled into a quiet war against a hidden enemy. But the greatest threat isn't the monsters in the mirror, it's the people they thought they could trust. As they fight for their world, they uncover a chilling truth: the Veil is no longer a distant threat, but a secret society known as the Shadow Court, living among them and slowly preparing for the final reckoning. With their friends as pawns and the line between reality and nightmare blurring, Maya and Ethan must use their bond to fight a war for their very existence. This is a story of love, betrayal, and a battle fought in the shadows, where the end of one world is just the beginning of another.
