Take Me to Ruin by aziiiweaver

They say monsters come out at night. They're wrong. The monsters never leave. The Hollow Men own the shadows of Blenford Ridge. They play by their own rules no one questions- because breaking them means you don't come back. There's only one way into their world: the Ritual. One chance to survive, to earn a place in the chaos and desire that waits beyond. No warnings. No second tries. Fail, and you disappear from their world forever. Angel Monroe never wanted their attention. But when the wrong glance turns into a challenge, she's pulled into a world of power, danger, and desire that's as twisted as it is addictive. Hate simmers. Tension burns. And the harder she pushes back, the more they seem to want her to break. Some men don't stop at breaking you. They want to own you. And when desire and danger collide, there's no telling who'll break first. Because some obsessions don't end with the night. They only get darker. ‼️⚠️WARNINGS⚠️‼️ graphic sexual content, bdsm and kink dynamics, consensual non-consent (cnc), violence and murder, psychological manipulation, dark and morally gray themes, emotional and physical degradation, toxic relationship, obsession and possessiveness, trauma and mental distress

One side turned to the light, and used their gifts cautiously; while the other embraced the dark, and death always followed. Present Day... After moving into a haunted house, gifted twins Max and Megan Blackwell hear of the legend and discover they've moved to a town that hate and fear them because of their name.

In Your Head: A Murdle Ghost!AU Fanfic by puppylover241

"Never enter a graveyard." That is the phrase Deductive Logico heard his entire life. Even more so than "stranger danger" or "brush your teeth." And sure, wandering alone unsupervised is not the best idea, but the reasoning everyone gave him? Ghosts. He never believed in ghosts, or anything supernatural for that matter. You live, you die, you decompose, and that is it. As someone who has been solving murders for the past year or so, it was a hard truth he had to face. Sure, this put him at odds with his rival: the esoteric Inspector Irratino, but nothing could convince him otherwise. So... what happens when things stop adding up? What happens when twenty years' worth of secrets start to unravel? What happens when nobody can see what he's experienced? Logico finds himself with information he should have no way of knowing, and even the basics of the world he lives in are thrown into question. Irratino has one last case for the deductive to solve... Can he do it?

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.
