To Be Hunted by Zomb1eMummy

We live in a world where nothing is as it seems. There are things that you don't know about, forgotten over the years. These things haunt cities when the skies go dark and your children are all tightly tucked into their beds. These things are Nightmare's creations and should only be seen in the scariest of dreams. They, are Night Creatures. I'm not sure what you've heard about 'werewolves', 'vampires' and 'witches', but I assure you that the rumors aren't entirely true. No, the truth about the Night Creatures are entirely lost on you humans. Instead, you choose to believe stories such as 'Twilight' and 'Harry Potter'. ~~~~~~ Loralei Winters is a hybrid - part Mahigan, part Bloodren, part Witch - and for the past 10 years, she has been on the run. Hunted by the men meant to protect, she finds a Guipago who helps her on her way to discover her inner strength so she no longer has to run and instead can survive. Book 1 in the "To Be" Series Second Book called "To Be Captured"

A Gift in the Dark by TheOrangutan

A collection of paranormal, horror and fantasy short stories woven around old legends, odd characters, the occasional werewolf and the darkness within, some of which have been published or picked up the odd award. There are things you cannot see unless they want to be seen, and some legends linger on despite the modern world. A Gift in the Dark is a compilation of short works, many based around old myths and legends, and starts with a tale of a miner's descent into madness, history and legend, drifts through darkness, past a retelling of Red Riding Hood, up a crane, and along to the end of the world.

Shadows Unleashed by Glennis49

In the stillness of the night, where shadows stretch and silence suffocates, terror waits in the most unexpected corners. *Shadows Unleashed* is a chilling collection of short stories that delves into every facet of horror-from spine-tingling encounters with the supernatural to the psychological horrors that twist the human mind. Each tale takes you deeper into the unknown, where monsters wear familiar faces, and fear lurks in everyday moments. Whether it's a forgotten whisper from the past, a nightmare that refuses to end, or an unseen force hunting in the dark, these stories will have you questioning what's real-and what's waiting for you in the dark. For lovers of the macabre and the unnerving, this collection will leave you breathless and haunted long after the final page. Dare to listen to the whispers? They've been waiting for you.
