Evan is an everyday guy, lacking ambition and direction. But when he wakes up captive in a pitch-black pit, he will discover the possibility of a new purpose, the meaning of sacrifice, and exactly what it takes to make the world go around. Weaving history, mythology, and inspiration from authors like Neil Gaiman and Nick Cutter, The Gravity Myth pulls back the curtain on a fourth-wall breaking god of many names, the absurdity of choice... and what is that horrible sucking sound at the center of the Earth?

TRAPPED IN HIS EYES
Nobody ever thinks their life will shatter in an instant-until it does. Not at first. You wake up, you go through the motions, and you trust the people around you. You laugh, you cry, you love. You never stop to wonder if the hands you hold today will be the same ones that destroy you tomorrow. I never did. I never questioned the warmth in his smile, the strength in his presence, the way he stood by my side like a shadow I could always rely on. I thought I had finally found someone who understood me, someone who didn't see me as an outsider. Someone I called a brother. But trust is a dangerous thing. It blinds you. It makes you miss the signs staring right at you. Because the moment I saw the truth- I realized I had been holding the devil's hand all along. #5 Survivor #36 ObsessionComplete

Whispers in the Walls
They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.Complete
The Other Me "Dark Syndrome"
Based on true events, this collection of terrifying tales will send shivers down your spine. In the ancient world, when darkness consumed the night, tales of mysterious creatures and beings abounded. Legends spoke of demons, witches, wolves, shapeshifters, and vampires that roamed freely among humans. Whispers of a powerful energy being circulated amongst these supernatural creatures - one that could exist outside of a physical body and transfer into others at will. This elusive being was said to feed on the life force of living beings, taking on their form as it drained them dry. Some even believed that it would continue to do so until it found a suitable vessel for permanent possession. In modern times, doctors have called this condition the TOM syndrome - an acronym for "the other me". This neurological disorder is thought to cause hallucinations and delusions due to extreme exhaustion and dehydration. As you read through these accounts from patients who have experienced these visions, remember that their names and locations have been changed to protect their identities.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. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete

The house is safe. The hills outside are not. The basement is out of the question. Joel has been trapped in the house for what has felt like an eternity; all hope of escaping lost after the first few years. Without the company of the eight strangers who arrived with him, he would have gone mad long ago. But while living in the decrepit building is taxing, nothing could be worse than the thing downstairs. Everyone is content to just live in the six rooms that they know are safe until Joel learns that there may be something below. Something other than the creature that torments them. The house goes deeper, further down into the darkness. And while travelling through the unknown halls may be dangerous, and the thing downstairs is always following close behind, Joel is determined to find a way out of the nightmare he's found himself in; for his own sake, but more importantly, the sake of the people he loves.
