"Welcome to Rotnel Sanitarium, home of the criminally insane and the simply insane. We hope you enjoy your stay."
Avory Dwells arrives at Rotnel Sanitarium one cold winter's morning to interview David Andrews, famed serial killer, for a essay she's writing as an acceptance letter to one of the top Psychology schools in the area. But this little trip takes a turn that was far from what she was expecting. David is famous for never touching a single victim but instead talking them into suicide, and he has an unnerving influence over people that Avory soon realizes is especially true when it comes to her. After a freak snow storm shuts down the power to the Sanitarium, several highly dangerous patients escape from their cells and are being lead by none other than the cunning David himself. Avory begins to question everything as she dives deeper into the polysemous mind of this charming villain; and if she can't win this battle of wits than it will be too late for everyone involved.

He Knows Where You Sleep
Sophie Lane is used to flying under the radar. Smart, quiet, and reserved, she blends into the background at her college-until she gathers the courage to ask out the one guy who seems completely out of her league. Ethan Vale is everything she's not: effortlessly confident, a little reckless, and the center of attention without even trying. When he says yes, Sophie is shocked-and immediately backs out, overwhelmed by doubt. She tries to move on, brushing it off as a moment of boldness gone wrong. But Ethan doesn't forget. And he doesn't stop watching. At first, Sophie thinks she's imagining it. The lingering glances across campus. The way his friends always seem to know where she is. The familiar faces near her dorm, even though she's rarely there-always buried in assignments, studying in the library, or spending late nights in the lab. The only place she's never seen him? The forensic lab. Her one safe haven. For now. Then a friend casually mentions Ethan's name-along with the word "psychopath" and whispers of incidents no one dares speak about. Assault. Harassment. Warnings that were never taken seriously. Suddenly, everything starts to click into place. She regrets ever speaking to him. But it might already be too late. Because Ethan Vale isn't just watching anymore. He's waiting.Complete

Killer Love 18+(GXG)
"Do you know what I do to girls who don't answer when they're spoken to?" she murmured, her voice dripping with quiet menace under the mask. "N-no," Salma breathed, her voice barely audible as she kept her eyes locked on Nerezza's dark eyes. Nerezza hummed, tilting Salma's chin up with a gloved hand, her grip firm but teasing. "I fuck the answers out of them," she whispered, each word slow and deliberate. ••••• Salma, a well known radio show host, is used to strange calls-but nothing like this. One Wednesday morning, an anonymous woman dials in live on air, her voice low, dripping with eerie amusement as she confesses to a murder. Convinced it's a twisted prank, Salma plays along, her tone teasing-until the caller whispers something only Salma could know. What starts as a disturbing coincidence spirals into a chilling obsession. Night after night, the woman calls back, turning Salma into her unwilling confidante, her chosen messenger. Each call comes with cryptic clues, taunts wrapped in silken words, a deadly puzzle Salma is forced to solve-because if she doesn't, she'll be the next victim. But fear gives way to fascination. Then obsession. As the game between them intensifies, Salma finds herself drawn to the voice on the other end of the line-a voice that knows her deepest fears, her darkest desires. The hunt for the truth becomes a tangled web of danger, passion, and something far more dangerous than death. They should be enemies. One is the hunter, the other the prey. But what happens when they fall in love?
