When 16 year old Blaine Bythesea moves back his old school district, he expects a brand new life. But when he finds out about Murderkill Park not far away from him, he decides to explore. While crossing a bridge with his new friend, the wood breaks, plunging him into the water below. He wished for a new life, and one he got. One with a "monster" and a supernatural ability that takes his wish a little too literally. And at the cost of another that could be forgotten forever.

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersComplete
