hunting medieval monsters supernatural

Why are people afraid of the dark? Because something is out there, stalking the shadows just waiting for their moment. Things that haunt nightmares, send chills down your spine, and thought only to be creatures of imagination and myth. In Medieval Europe, these things go far beyond simple ghost stories told around a camp fire. These creatures are real and there's not a damn thing people can do about it. Or that's what they thought until some people started to fight back; turning the predators into prey, making these creatures afraid to go into the woods alone.  These men smile in the face of death and won't stop hunting down these fiends until their very last breath. This is the story of one of those men.All Rights Reserved

With a burning feeling by itsagoldenworld

For one to inhabit oddities that are truly beyond normalcy, the town has been surprisingly peaceful for many centuries. However, behind the tranquility that seemed to encase the place, there lie intense rules that are forever ingrained by all townsfolk within their hearts and mind. Though it is not the town itself that was odd; but the territory just next to them. Vast and eerie, full of creatures of the unknown, and home to a being so powerful who was feared by all and remembered even by the youngest of children there was. The forest is not to be disturbed. The rules were simple. No one is to be allowed to enter, even taking a daring mere inch of a step, in the forest. NO. ENTRY. This is what has been placed when people take sightings of the large and wide forest. A warning that implies extreme danger due to the number of signs there are in one area. For there is a creature that lies beyond the forest. So dangerous and so terrifying, it could scorch the world with its flames. It's not a dragon. It's not a beastly monster. Not even a giant or a devil. But a god. A sun god. And the sun god's abode was the forest. And he is there for a reason.

Hide and seek by Rachael_maisymoo12

Remember those stories you were told as a small child, perhaps by an older sibling or friend? Ones about creatures that lurk in the shadows just waiting to attack. They were told to terrify us and it would work. Sometimes you would lay awake in bed afraid to fall asleep, then a parent would calm you down and assure you that in no way were the stories real. You would then relax, trusting your parent's judgment. That's how things use to be, but only too late now have we realised those scary stories are very much alive. Cover created by Chavalo218

A Bit Unconventional by B0omers399

For years the people living in the kingdom of Thelon have been terrified of the mythical creatures that live just beyond its borders. But not everything is as it seems.

Memories by RoxannaTreyy

Willowborn Book One ***This is a work of fiction. Any relation to people, places, events, or objects is entirely coincidental. *** Somewhere in the wilds of Virginia is a town completely covered in Willows. It's not like every tree is a Willow, but it seems like you see one every 100 ft. It's a pretty normal historical small town. 35 families, Founder Homes, a parade every homecoming, holiday, and festival. Town pride is a must, the local "church" is the real authority in town, and the local families can be traced back generations. In such a town barrels in Dani Avelle. At 13 years old she developed something the Willow calls the Gift. Hers was the amazing ability to be randomly assaulted by memories from every person, place or thing she comes in contact with, along with the ability to channel people who were also from one of the towns founding families. 10 years later, with her best friend, her best friends boyfriend, and her little sister she learns that no, it wasn't all in her head, its an actual thing in a real place with people who actually lived, and that if she leaves the "safety" of the town she'll have only a few months to live. Stuck in a super modern but also ancient town, reevaluating positions and relationships, and just trying to be a freshly graduated entrepreneur, its a lot, but when the information the Willow gives out and the information she gets from her Gift don't match, Dani will need to decide just how far she wants to get into the Willow. Add in the new unexpected challenge of a new group dynamic and you have yourself an interesting first year in Nevermore. Art by anaya_44305 (Instagram)

My Last Breath (Book one of The Portal Series) by Chinesechickens123

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.

LOT'S MOUNTAIN by NikkiEarly2

Magic, monsters, mayhem ... and high school. What could go wrong? Everything! I'm a freak, but I've got the God-given sense to know to keep it a secret that I can use magic to lose some things and to find other things. As magic goes, it totally sucks, especially since I can't control it. I couldn't use it to find my brother and save him from a serial killer. So what good is it that I can lose a shoe and find a hubcap? Some people do think I'm extra special, though. I don't know how they found out about me, but the Stone Men and their Black Dogs are after me every chance they get. It's their job to keep magic a secret and make you think the world is normal. The Glass Man's out to get me, too. He's just out to make everybody his psycho slave. There's a war coming between Stone and Glass, and I'm right in the middle. But this war isn't just about hidden magic and humans. When you're a little kid, your parents tell you that there isn't any such thing as monsters. Well, they're lying. Some monsters want to offer you a deal, and some, well, some just might end up your best friend. Others, they just want to eat you. Right now, I'm dodging homework and things trying to turn me into lunch. I'm gonna find a way out of this war and save my friends... or die trying--

Anoxia by SylviaSplatt

Xylia has always teetered between madness and prophecy. For years she's dreamed events before they happen a gift that's left her paranoid, unstable, alone. In a world where consciousness is a bug and gods are algorithms with ego problems, Xylia will learn that reality isn't meant to be understood. It's meant to be rewritten. Here, divination is a sentence. And knowing the truth... is the first step to losing yourself. ✒️✦ This isn't a book. It's a gradual collapse. You won't find maps. You'll find glitches. Not heroes. Fractures. Not worldbuilding. But worlds that come apart while you watch. Xylia is a contaminated consciousness. She overthinks. She mis-feels. She fixates on details no one else sees. That doesn't make her wrong. It makes her real. If you feel lost, good. If you feel unsettled, stay. In this world, coherence is a lie. And breath... is something you learn only when it's gone. Welcome to Anoxia. The first 5 chapters in English are now up! Next batch (chapters 6-10) coming this Friday. This is an ongoing self-translation project - raw, glitchy, and deeply personal. Thanks for reading, bleeding, and glitching with me. 🖤 I'm Italian and I'm translating my novel myself-so if you spot errors or phrases that could be smoother in English, please tell me. You'd be helping me immensely! 👁️ Read Anossia and tell me what crosses your mind. Your comments are the heart of this project.
