Jeremy is a sucker for paintings, good or bad, when he needs to cover bare walls. When his family moves into his grandfather's old home he takes it as an opportunity to reclaim artwork lost to the attic. The search begins but one thing stands in his way: an intriguing box.

It turns out the Bertie Mansion has more hidden inside than mediocre paintings. He can delve into the secrets of the home and risk learning information long since buried, or continue on his original mission and risk leaving the past uncovered when it is due time to let it see light. Whichever path he picks, the ball has already started rolling and it's only a matter of time.

The Thing at the End of Time oleh ElectraScribe
15 bab Lengkap
A haunted mansion with a cruel secret. A timeline that seems to have shifted. A stoner space wizard who may not make it out alive. In the spectral halls of Carrington House-looming at the edge of a fog-choked Victorian moor-Professor Steph Thorncroft, a sharp-minded trans woman with a spine of steel, investigates a series of supernatural disturbances. But the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes: something far more sinister than ghosts is at work. The house's master, Lord Carrington, is not just a sexist aristocrat-he's the leader of a secretive cult obsessed with fulfilling a dark prophecy tied to an ancient god known as Xalithar the Merciful. Behind the estate's locked doors and beneath its creaking floorboards, horrors are waiting to be unleashed. Across the stars and centuries away, StonerSteve, a soft-spoken, asexual space wizard, is trapped in a timeline that won't stop rewriting itself. Something (or someone) has altered its ending, and every moment could be his last. With only his sarcastic slug navigator Gary and a half-broken space van called the Quantum Drifter, Steve races to uncover the timeline's hidden truth before it collapses completely. From opposite ends of time, Steph and Steve unravel a shared mystery that ties their fates together. Along the way, they face not only cosmic forces and crumbling realities, but the personal horrors that come with being queer in a world that doesn't always want you to exist-especially in Steph's era, where simply living as herself is an act of rebellion. Blending gothic horror, science fiction, and dark comedy, The Thing at the End of Time is a love letter to trans resilience, queer friendship, and the weirdos who fight for a better timeline-even when the universe is falling apart. If Doctor Who took a detour through The Haunting of Hill House and stopped to hotbox with Night Vale, it might look something like this.

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.
