His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted.

Afterlife (A7X)
"Tell me Brian, do you believe in ghosts?" Hauntings were never Zacky's kind of thing; ending up with the entire group being haunted by a ghost for that matter, certainly wasn't his idea of a good weekend. After visiting a supposed haunted house on the outskirts of town, a rather distasteful ghost has tagged along with someone. To make matters worse, the ghost is actually that one of a long-dead serial killer from the 1900s and is able to break windows and push people down staircases when they're not paying attention. Finding out that ghosts have the same qualities in life and death certainly doesn't help to improve Zacky's thoughts on the matter either. Will they be able to get rid of the ghost before it gets someone killed? How do you kill something that's already dead before it kills you?Complete

Two Fangs Deep
Revenge. Revenge is the one thing that exists in every story. Sometimes it's as simple as revenge against an ex, other times... Well, that's where I come in. You see, I'm no ordinary person with ordinary people problems, no. I'm much more than that. I do the impossible. Sure I have some... let's call them skills that help me along the way, but they just make it more exciting. New adventures every day, new dangers around each corner. A lifestyle which doesn't fit just anyone. I guess you're still wondering what I do? Why my life is so exciting? The answer is easy. I'm an assassin. I kill for the thrill of it, not for money. I kill, I torture, I maim for the simplest price in the world, a favor. Listen to me carefully... Never underestimate the power of being indebted to someone. Sometimes it may just be the little thing that decides whether you live or die... I have to admit, even I have wanted to seek revenge on my own accord. My teaching goes against it... but like I said there is no story that doesn't involve some good old fashioned revenge.Complete
