The headline is plastered all over the Fayette Tribune, accompanied by a picture of the gravel lane lined with body bags. The article is vague, and fits entirely on the first page of the newspaper. The cause of death for all thirty-one inhabitants is unknown, their names have not yet been released, and an investigation is ongoing: that is all there is to say.
Tyler Rhoades grew up in Meadow Bridge, close to Moonshiners' Hollow, but he escaped the small town at age eighteen and has since drifted from city to city in a desperate attempt to find himself. After an accident at his most recent job as a deckhand aboard a barge, Tyler's drifting life is uprooted as he is forced to head back to his hometown in the deepest recesses of West Virginia and into the shifting darkness of something terrible.

Packless
In the close-knit town of Wetherby Hollow, being packless is a red flag. Omegas without protection, Alphas without structure-it's not how things are done around here. But Micah Thorn, a stubborn Omega in his mid-20s, has no choice. After their parents died in a car accident five years ago, Micah stepped in to raise their three younger siblings-two of whom haven't presented yet. Since then, they've been working two jobs, dodging social services, and trying to stay off the town council's radar. When a newly presented Alpha teenager-Jesse Hale-is dropped off like unwanted baggage by his wealthy, neglectful parents, Micah is roped into fostering him "temporarily." Jesse is quiet, damaged, and angry- but not dangerous. Just lost. Then his older brother shows up. WARNINGS Mpreg, MXM love, very graphic gay sex, Childbirth via the anus (Also very graphic), Sex scenes, self harm(Not much), mentions of grape, PTSD, Hallucinations, bad language, discrimination, threat, major character death (Only like two characters, it's fine). I'll put warnings in the chapters where these occur, so if you can skip- although you might be a little lost because these tie into the plot. My characters views or actions do not reflect my own, this is purely fiction that does reflect real life situations (Except for the mpreg, unfortunately)so i try to be mindful and respectful. I also just write about these things because I find it interesting. That is it and that is all. Enjoy #1 in #smalltown
Down We Go
(New chapters every tuesday and friday!) "My sister didn't commit suicide. She was murdered. I know it. Everyone in this fucking city knows it. But yet, everyone acts like everything is fine." β οΈPREVIEWβ οΈ The small town of Woodford, Oregon, on the surface looks like a boring and remote village like so many others, but it actually harbors a dark secret among its streets: The exorbitant number of suicides that occur each year. No one knows exactly why they happen. Some blame it on a mysterious criminal gang, some on drugs, others on noxious gases in the air or even a curse. Though to be honest no one really seems to care. Well, that is until a 16-year-old girl found a crucifix stuffed into her sister's dead body.... What is really behind the mysterious suicides taking place in the town?

Untamed
"She's the fuse," Rowan muttered. "And we're all gonna burn." _____ Sadie Quinn didn't plan on ending up in a nowhere town like Deadwater, Texas. But running doesn't always come with options, just a half-charged phone, a bag over her shoulder, and a past she'd rather not look back at. She came for the job. A quiet cabin. A paycheck. A chance to feel like herself again. What she found were four men. Rhett, the cold, commanding boss with eyes like judgment and a voice like gravel. Colt, all sharp edges and low threats, the one who doesn't believe in giving space. Rowan, charming and reckless, always smiling like he knows what she's thinking. And Levi, the quiet one. Unreadable, intense... and the first to truly see her. They're not just cowboys. Not just ranchers. There's something darker behind those stares. Something dangerous under the surface of Hollow Creek. Sadie doesn't trust easily. But every day on that ranch pulls her in deeper. Toward secrets, toward heat, toward the kind of want that can burn everything down. She came here to escape. She might've just found the thing that finally undoes her. _____ Updating frequentlyComplete

He's stuck to deal with his consequences. A week after his return home, Ryder heads to Jack Taylor's ranch to get his old farm hand job back. When he steps out of the car, a 9 year old girl greets him and when her mom comes to see what the fuss is all about, he's met with the last person he thought he'd ever see back in Alcombey.

Deputy Rachel Hayes, still trying to prove herself in a department that doesn't trust her, is called to investigate the death of local mechanic Daniel Weaver.

Together with Evan Cole, a reporter desperate to revive his career, she uncovers the truth about Hollow Creek's past: a pact made in blood, a debt that demands payment every eight years, and a presence in the corn that never truly dies. As the storms return and the town begins to collapse around them, Rachel must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to break the cycle-before Hollow Creek takes her, too.Complete
