Life in Clodsbury, England was normal. Until a break-in happened at the small town's bar, and an increasingly odd series of events occured. Then normalcy began falling apart.

The separation between our world and the next is fragile, and this series of short stories chronicles how secrets not intended to be known by any, were uncovered.
"The Shape of Madness" is a grotesquely tortuous web of lies, secrets, and ancient mysteries. Learn the truth, and engulf yourself in a mystery set in the 1890's.

"We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far."

The Dark Witch: The Nox Haven Series di RowenaBlack

I'd Like to think I was a good person, before it all began. I didn't cheat on tests, or steal. But throughout my entire life, I was treated if I were a monster. At the age of five, after several agonizing tests, I was diagnosed with Reactive Attachment Disorder. But not even that title could describe just how strange I was. When another kid got hurt, I would cry. Whenever someone else was told a funny joke, I would laugh hysterically. People looked at me as if I were crazy- and for while I agreed with them. That was until I, Caddie Jones, was exiled to Nox Haven Academy, a school for truly special kids. Not the mentally ill, psychotic kind of special but the magical kind. Like witches, vampires, fairies and werewolves. Call me crazy if you want, you wouldn't be the first. But the stories are all true. The supernatural did exist and I was one of them. Life there was cool until suddenly, I was faced with two-faced witches, egotistical princes, hormone driven werewolves, and an army of evil warlocks who were threatening to destroy the world. ... Maybe Nox Haven was a school for psychos after all. ---------------------------------------------------------- Highest Rank: #2 in Paranormal 1st Place winner of The Night Shift's Killer Competition 4/10/16 Illustration by: Stephanie Pitino (www.ClairObscur.fr) (1st book in series)

Under His Control (BXB) di thatspecialteen

"Why are you here?" "You called for me, young warlock. I've heard a lot about you from The Beyond. Thank you for summoning me into your world, by the way" he smirked at me, so close now I could feel his breath on my face. I'd hoped I would never see one of his kind. And I wish I never had. ~~~ As a kid, Storm has never had much freedom. He wasn't allowed to go to school until year seven because his father was afraid he'd reveal himself to the general population, the humans, the people Storm and the others of his kind are sworn to protect. Because Storm isn't an ordinary nineteen year old, as much as he'd love that to be the case. He's a warlock in training, taking a sports course during the day and learning magic with his father at night. He's always been a sensible boy, until he made the greatest mistake of his life... A mistake he may live to regret for eternity.

Green Unpleasant Land di Matt01344

Short Synopsis Green Unpleasant Land Fog shrouded Victorian London, but not the 1888 we'd recognise. There's a whiff of revolution in the air, not to mention lycanthropy in the shires. As Mr Eiffel's tower nears completion in Hyde Park, famed Egyptologist Sir Percy Tiverton returns with his latest find - a nameless book so mysterious not even the Royal College of Alchemists can decipher its runes. Alexander Faversham is England's foremost champion of derring-do, but his legend is built on sand. Loyal-to-a-fault manservant Bill might know more about his master's heroics than either are letting on. When the nameless book is stolen, Bill's entanglement threatens to bring his carefully constructed façade crashing down. There's something nasty lurking in the shadows and it wants its book back. Who would dare confront the tentacles slithering from the sewers? When the Empire needs a hero, it doesn't always get the one it expects. 80k words Gothic/Cosmic Horror/Alt History
