Who would name their town Hell's Center, and why are people vanishing without a trace from the place?

Johnny sticks out worse than a Bears fan at Lambeau Field when he moves to the small rural town. Only black kid in an all-white community. Johnny and the few teens he manages to befriend think they know what's behind the disappearances - a haunted house.

Officer Corbin tries to solve the disappearances, but he doesn't trust the new kid in town. Though he soon discovers everything the teens claim is true.

Only the house isn't what they think it is. And somehow Johnny is the key.

A unique stand-alone modern fantasy with a plot that slowly intensifies until it seems the world might end. Can a way be found to stop the canavar?

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.
