A Haunting Love Story 

Just in time for Halloween 🎃 👻 


When Emily Portman takes a trip to Concord, Massachusetts she has no idea what she is hoping to find there.

Following a seemingly mindless drive to the small town she is pleasantly surprised by how kind everybody seems to be and how at home she feels in this beautiful place.

However, by the second night strange and even unsettling events begin taking place at the Elizabeth Inn.

The deeper Emily digs into the mystery surrounding the "Whistling Rider" and a 245 year old tragedy the more enamored she is by this strange place, and the suspicious Country Club owner who is nearly as haunting as the ghosts in and out of the Inn.

The Medium by CjArcher

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.

The Day I Live by OrpheusAngelos

(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods. DISCLAIMER: no images/videos are mine unless I say otherwise. Everything else belongs to me. Please don't steal, I do work hard on my stories. This book is inspired by the band Ghost, but none of the people(band members) will be included. This story is not a Ghost fanfiction! IF YOU TAKE INSPIRATION FROM THIS please credit me and show me your work! I'd love to see it!! ⚠️WARNING⚠️: This story contains strong themes such as: abuse, mature language, suggested sexual themes, violence, character death, and more!

A Drop Of Haunted Blood [PREVIEW] [WATTYS WINNTER 2023] by auroraanorth

[PREVIEW ONLY] WATTYS WINNER 2023 | Sixteen-year-old Felix Carver carries the ghosts of magicians in his blood. He can communicate with them and use the magical abilities they wielded against monsters when they were alive. His newfound power would be pretty cool, if the ghosts in question weren't his family and the man who killed them. Death doesn't stop Felix's siblings from finding new ways to annoy him from beyond the grave, nor his parents from doing their best to protect him from the dangerous side of his new life. Felix learns that his family belonged to an organization of magicians called the Bright Guardians, while their killer was a part of the Guardian Uprising that tried to overthrow the organization eight years earlier. The Bright Guardians take Felix in, hoping they can train him to fight monsters and control the ghosts living inside of him. Felix barely understands the magical world his family kept secret from him, but he does make friends with other odd cases at the Bright Academy. Troublemaker Arisa Tamura is struggling to control her ability to animate objects while under the influence of cursed bracelets, while the smart but reserved Mason Briggs is a witch who was transformed into a demon as a last resort to save his life. Together, the three of them realize that Uprising spies are still hiding among the Guardians. They have no idea who they can trust, but they do know who they can't: a Guardian named Ernest Abernathy, who stole a powerful wand from Mason's parents before killing them. Felix, Mason, and Arisa must construct a plan to steal back the wand without any help. If their plan fails, Ernest will turn the Guardians against them and have them locked up, or executed. If they succeed, they'll have one more weapon in the fight against the Uprising's army. Either way, the approaching war is inevitable. Be warned this book contains death, violence, and an above average amount of spiders.

The St Valentine's Day Ghost (Cursed Lovers: Book 2) by Grown30

When Daisy gets a chance to appear in a Thriller/Mystery movie, she jumps at the opportunity. She hopes this role will allow her to shake off the Writer's Block she's been having on her own mystery novel lately; as well as visit her cousins in England where the movie is being filmed. However, once the crew begins production, she gets this feeling that she and the other female actresses are being watched. When she hears about a ghost haunting the local bed-and-breakfast she and everyone are staying, the staff informs her that the "Ghost" only shows up the week of Valentine's Day. Daisy, being a skeptic, does not believe in ghosts. Not even when said ghost follows her to her room that first night. Glen has been a ghost for almost two hundred years. Whenever he's not reliving his past mistakes on the night he died, he's at his death site, now a local B'n'B, watching guests mingle and so on. When Glen meets Daisy, he feels a desire for her, the likes of which he never experienced when he was alive. So when she is staying at the Wynfrid House that week, Glen seizes his chance to share those desires with her. Even if it is only in her dreams. *For those that love The Temple of Snakes, this story is about Domino's cousin, who was mentioned in the first chapter. Domino, Mona, and their new families will make guest appearances.* P.S. Some scenes in this book can be interpreted as sexual assault and abuse. Readers be warned.

Whispers of the Heartwood... by LostMorganna

"My ideal type... Tall, dark hair, piercing blue eyes... Intelligent, confident, and a hint of mystery... Can make me laugh, even on my worst days... Loves adventure, tries new things, and isn't afraid to take risks..." As she wrote, the room seemed to grow quieter, as if the universe was holding its breath. Emily felt a shiver run down her spine. What was she getting herself into? Just as she finished writing, a sudden gust of wind blew through the room, extinguishing the lights. Emily gasped, her heart racing. What was happening? And then, a low, smooth voice spoke out of the darkness: "Hey, darling... why are you up so late?"

ANTIQUE dealer Joshua McAdams at first believes he has purchased the most important deceased estate so far in his young career.

When the Crowe mansion is being prepared for removal to make way for a housing estate, a hidden pit is found near the rear of the historic building. Inside are the skeletal remains of an infant and two girls who went missing two decades earlier - one of them, Josh's beloved little sister Sophie. As Elizabeth Crowe's possessions are scattered wide and far through Josh's shopfront and online auctions, via charity shops and secondhand stores, a coronial inquiry finds Crowe guilty of the three deaths. But the findings are flawed and from beyond her grave, a furious, murderous Crowe becomes intent on avenging the false accusations. Via her possessions, her now repositioned house, even through the very soil where the mansion once stood, Crowe's horrific haunting will see her once beloved coastal town become shrouded in terror, insanity and bloods, lots of blood. It is up to Joshua to not only find some way of appeasing Crowe but to uncover the mystery of the burial pit and the real person responsible for the killings. It will test his stamina, his mental strength and what he thought were the principles behind guilt and innocence.
