"The Other Side is with us every day. It is simply hidden behind the Veil, as we have said before. Only now you tell us that you actually believe us? And you're expecting us to help you with the mess that you have gotten yourselves into?"  -  Selina de Winter.

Our world is not as clear as we'd like it to be.  Thomas "Tom" Wells, Gordon Hausen, Jack Carson and Gregory Sulis had everything a teenager could wish for: good grades, were on the county football team, had plenty girls vying for their attention ... but also had talent for trouble. 

Othello Clan was a town notorious for ghost sightings, and its most famous house was Blakewell Manor. Halloween: school peers from their school had been falling into a coma; a couple of them ended up dead. Rumour quickly spread that they invoked the legendary ghost of folklore Bloody Mary. 

Tom, Gordon, Jack and Gregory, who also appear to be tormented by the legendary spectre, are forced to ask help of the other end of the social spectrum - Selina de Winter, Lucrezia "Zia" di Angelo,  Catherine Kelley and Rose Paddock: the girls dubbed as "witches" yet hold the Old Talents.

38 parts Complete Mature
Whatever you do, don't open the door! Recently separated wife and mother of two, Meredith Rhoads finds herself alone and without help when a stranger comes knocking at her apartment door in the middle of the night. She had not expected to see a child though the peep hole. A young girl with dead black eyes and a ghostly pale face stares like a sculpture and speaks without moving, begging to be let in. What she soon discovers is that this late night visit was not an isolated incident, but just one of countless reports of so-called Black-eyed Children attacks throughout her hometown of Belleville Ontario, and sadistic brutality seems in there nature. Family friend Det. Jennifer Jenson has been following the reports for some time, enlisting the help of a Vatican scientist and his priestly apprentice to discover the macabre meaning of these viscously cruel and seemingly impossible attacks. After a supernatural episode in school, Meredith's 10-year-old daughter Ashley knows more about the demon children than she lets on. Her visions are real and filled with vivid and unexplained images of burning witches, ritualistic sacrifice and the dead rising from the grave. It is in nightmares where a dark and ancient presence keeps close by, watching . . . waiting, as there is much more to the Rhoads family than meets the eye. As All Hallows Eve approaches a blood moon rises in a crimson sky, and a small group of unlikely brave must race against the clock, following the clues through a vast world of occult history and lore, secret societies and underground tunnels to discover the identity and grand purpose of the Dark Man. His legion of Black-eyed Kids have chosen the one night where every door opens for every child, and behind trick-or-treat masks are the dead eyes of the contagious possessed, and there will be blood. Trust no one, and keep your crucifix handy, because what is about to be revealed to the world cannot be unlearned, and will chill you to your very core.

Blaze White is the New Girl at the Prep school in her mothers old home town. But her only goal for senior year is to keep a low profile, no friends, no parties and NO boys. Axel may be adored and worshipped by his peer-but he hates people, except 5. So when a beautiful but closed off girl suddenly enters his group. He is not welcoming of the mysterious beauty despite the pull they both feel. •••• WARNING: This was written many moons ago. I have decided to put it back up because of a large request from readers. However, I was a kid when I wrote this so take it with a grain of salt. *** Like a deer in head lights, I freeze and watch as the car comes towards me expecting to get hit. But to my surprise, the car swerves to the side slightly next to me and comes to a stop. I take a deep breath I didn't know I was holding at the driver's side door swings open and a very pissed off Axel steps out. "Thank god," I mumble and place my hands on my knees to catch my breath. "Blaze?" He says and I hate it. I hate how he says my name as if it's his. Like he knows it's the only thing I want to hear, him calling out to me, looking at me, focused to me. It's the first time in my life I wanted someone's attention so badly I didn't care how I got it. And that was too dangerous for me to hold onto. "Are you insane or some shit? I could have killed you!" He says and starts to walk towards me. I take a big breath and step back away from him, "s-stop! Axel," I stutter still panting. It's then he notices the blood on my hands and shirt. "Is that blood?" He asks staring at my shirt and I take another step back. "Stop, stay b-back," I try to say confidently but I can't even breath right. Realizing he won't listen I start to turn around planning to make a break for it. "Don't run from me Blaze it won't go well," he growls reading my thoughts causing me to freeze in my spot. "Do not ever think you can get away from me."

OPTIONED BY WATTPAD STUDIOS FOR PUBLISHING/MOVIE DEALS!!! Also approached by 108 Media, the studio that produced Eerie (check it out in Netflix). Winner of the Wattys 2020 Award in Horror/English "This book really hooks you with its intriguing premise. A super fun horror story rooted in Filipino Folklore, with a science thriller twist - think Jurassic Park meets It Follows." -----What the Wattys2020 Team said about Haunteds, Wattys2020 Winner in Horror category Plot: In 1974, the mysterious cult's mass kidnapping and ritualistic killing led to the summoning of the Shade-a paranormal entity of living shadow. Ever since then, starting in October in Bastillio-a city in the Philippines steeped in history and superstition-the Shade would be seen haunting twelve teenagers at night throughout the month, often resulting in their deaths. But the discovery of U.V. lights as a deterrent from the Shade led the government to establish a system to contain the Shade's threat. Fast forward to 2025, twenty years after the system had successfully prevented any more deaths, the media and global firestorm surrounding the phenomenon died down. So when sixteen-year-old Vergil Torres was identified as one of the twelve and was immediately brought to Biringan-the government shelter where haunteds like him would stay for the month-he was more excited than scared for his life. But the gruesome and inexplicable death of one of them during their stay in the supposedly safe house renews the horror of the Shade. Reluctant at first, Vergil, together with his friends and Major Coleman, decided to get to the bottom of the mystery, if they are to survive through the month.
