It was meant to be a fun weekend getaway, one where all their worries melted away and they could enjoy the quiet solitude of the Black Hills. But one brutal accident changes everything. 

Alone, hurt, and lost in the rural plains of South Dakota, the only hope for the remaining survivors of the crash is to get out of the blizzard they're trapped in and find refuge in the small, distant town of Reliance. 

But as the winter storm rages on and the darkness surrounds them, the last survivors soon realize that braving the storm may be the least of their worries...

Because they're not alone. Something is out there with them, and it's hungry.

Flesh & Ghosts by Mezmerald
8 parts Ongoing Mature
The world ended in silence. Five years after civilization collapsed, Finn wanders through what's left, a lone survivor in a world where the dead once roamed freely. But something is changing. The undead are vanishing, and those that remain are deteriorating-collapsing, failing, as if something is draining the last remnants of their existence. After finding temporary refuge in Wake Forest with Shane, Eli, and Charlie, Finn begins to feel something unfamiliar: a sense of belonging. But tensions rise, emotions grow complicated, and unable to face the weight of it all, he leaves. On the road, he meets Noah and his small group of survivors, who share disturbing accounts of the dead dropping without warning. Marie, one of Noah's group, reveals that she was cornered by a herd of undead-only for them to collapse around her. And in the moments after, she saw something move. Something unnatural. Something not human. Now, Finn faces an impossible choice: return to the people he left behind or push forward and uncover the truth about what's happening before it's too late. Because whatever force is at play, it isn't just wiping out the dead-it's reshaping the world itself.

((This is targeted to people 16+)) The smell of blood was overwhelming. The scent of the short teen used to have was gone, replaced with the putrid smell of death and rot that covered the whole room and the killer himself. Blood smudged all over the teen and onto the older man as he attempted to escape. He got hungry and tired. He just wanted to eat and then sleep. He was preparing the girl, cutting her body apart and tearing the flesh off the bones, which is why the room was such a mess with her blood. Now, he had the boy in his hands. The hunger overtook him. The sharp pain of large "canine" teeth being plunged into his neck made Cameron scream. It was cut short, his whole body freezing up as the crazy man sunk his large fangs into his neck, ripping a large chunk of the boy's flesh in between his teeth. The pain only got worse when he felt the killer tug harshly, pulling his flesh out... ----- A gang of delinquents becomes lost in a forest, pursued by a frightening masked figure.

In the isolated, snow-buried village of White Pines, winter is not merely a season-it's a suffocating force that brings both cold and fear. As the bitter winds howl through the forest, a series of violent deaths sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community. The bodies are mutilated, torn apart by what appears to be an animal-but the villagers know better. Rumors swirl about the Wendigo, an ancient legend passed down through generations, a creature born of desperation and hunger, lurking in the frozen woods. A group of seasoned hunters, led by the grizzled but respected Elias Conroy, bands together to track and kill whatever is hunting their people. But as they venture deeper into the wilderness, they make a horrifying discovery: the Wendigo isn't a creature of myth, but something far more real-and far more terrifying. It's not just hunting them; it's infecting them. The twisted remains of their friends and neighbors reveal a monstrous truth: once the Wendigo touches you, you become it. The hunters, once brothers-in-arms, begin to turn on one another as paranoia sets in. Anyone could be next. As the lines between human and monster blur, trust disintegrates, and survival becomes a harrowing, personal struggle. In the brutal cold, with no help coming, they must face the terrifying reality that the Wendigo may not just be among them-it may already be them. Status: COMPLETED Genre: Psychological Horror

Avarice Blacksteel Book 2 by Xonereth
43 parts Complete Mature
Most of us long to "Be" but when the path gets too costly, or steep, we take solace in what we "Have." Remove the trappings of what we own and then what is the sum of us? They were the survivors, abandoned by the allies who swore to protect, in the ultimate gesture of greed and betrayal. Their world plunged into annihilation and chaos. With the passage of years in this blighted landscape order was established anew. Those who had been anonymous before the war found their will to rule, those who had experienced the comforts and ease of western life, thrust into darkness and despair. This brutal conflict had awoken those long sleeping, those who had ceased to care, those of immense power, the ones entrusted with the safe keeping of the often volatile mankind. Although their parallel world too was at risk, lethargy and arrogance ruled them. Against the backdrop of this savage landscape the saga of three such tribes of survivors unfold, and the unwitting chosen among them. One tribe sought to prosper via savagery, one by organized military might, and the other who ruled with no more than fairness and love. Three tribes thrown together, competing for the limited resources to survive, in a world teetering on the brink of total decimation. Driven by human avarice.
Wendigo Island (ONC2024) by DalisJamesBunch
36 parts Complete Mature
Your greatest fear is monsters in the dark. The last thing you expect is to become the monster in the dark. This story is not about heroes. This story is about ripping away any pretense you have about what it means to be human. At the end of the day you will find that Humanity is nothing but another species of animal, and animals feed. Animals survive, and animals die. Good and evil have no place in the food chain. A tale steeped in strange fiction that tells just as much truth.
