[Formerly Featured/Award-Winning Novella/#2 in Horror]

There is something eerie about this village -- this hole of silent, maddened people.
  
  In 1922 my Papa told me of a faceless entity that lurks amongst us in our isolated slice of Russia. The locals have kept this horror alive for a century, though the only ones who claim to have seen the Folveshch have succumbed to a life of sightless silence. 
  
  My name is Stefan Alyovich and the people around me are changing. They slip into worsening madness every winter, and I ask myself: how much longer before I'm the only sane one left?
  
  ... The only one left alone with the Folveshch.

The Markus Party by Writtrace
18 parts Ongoing Mature
"Not all you see is as it seems. There is life hidden behind it. Tread carefully, arouse no suspicion, keep to the rules, and just maybe you will be here for an eternity. My name is Alex Markus. Welcome to the Markus Party." ... This fascinating invitation excited anyone who ever ventured within their massive castle. Oh, to be captured by them. Possessed. Engaged. Entertained! They thought. And this exhilaration was not missing from the group of fifty interns hired by the family to do, as was written, 'a series of odd jobs'. Why? It was too strange to know why. It was unprecedented to think that a family this rich would ever need interns. Still...they were considered the lucky fifty. Not only would they get to meet the reclusive family, but they would also act as entertain during the event. It made them famous overnight. Opportunities to marry heiresses, own companies, became presidents were waiting for them. Underneath it all, romances, beauties, escapades, betrayals, and mysteries threatened to overwhelm them. With every new day they began to discover horrors in the castle. Their once light-hearted opportunity became a desperate fight for sanity. And yet, they couldn't escape what they couldn't understand. Talking doors, bloody chandeliers, empty halls, and pointless rules; meaning nothing and everything. To Peter's delight, to Ian's temptation, to Jasmine's terror, and to Lucy's embrace. Nothing was truly as it seemed. ... The Markus family were a marvel to the world. Kings, princes, moguls, dictators, and all sorts readily flocked within their mysterious home every year, once a year, for the Markus Party. And this year's party would change the world. ...

Paranormal activity occurring in the hallways. Haunted classrooms. Creepy washrooms. Mysterious forces. Strange happenings. That is the type of school they go to. And that is the type of school they will have to escape. ~ When transfer student, Yuta, starts his grade 11 year at Willesden high school, everything seems normal at first. The American school is different from what he is used to, but it is a shift he can adjust to. That is, until one day, he and his homeroom classmates are locked in, after school- with no way of escaping. They realize that the paranormal activity that has been occurring to them since September 3, 1946, wasn't a dream. This unlikely group of students must unite and fight against their fears, to escape and erase the curse of their school. But why is this happening to them? And who is the one purposely causing their turmoil? This is the story of a boy who had been wrongfully gifted the powers of a witch and of a 200-year-old man who covers his face with a human mask. ✧・゚: *✧・゚:*    *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ ♡featured on Undiscovered Stories 'Can You See Me Now?'

Heirs And Hunters by crazypoodle
57 parts Complete Mature
"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.
