Wrong Side of the Coffin: A WIPpersnappers Anthology by VictorSerranoWriting

Maybe you're thinking of joining the fang club. Sure, why wouldn't you? So many stories out there make it seem like a great deal - all dinner jackets or gothic gowns, lavish castles, and supernatural powers that let you rule the darkness. Not so fast. Vampirism has its own trials and tribulations. Stick around. Read these stories. If they don't change your mind, at least they'll prepare you for some of the unexpected realities of undead existence.

the depth of short stories and microfiction by Amethystwolf19

I am pleased to present my short stories and micro-fiction collection, a compilation of carefully crafted narratives that aim to captivate readers with their depth and intricacy. Each story is meticulously written, with a focus on character development and thought-provoking themes. The collection covers a wide range of genres, from suspenseful thrillers to heartwrenching dramas, ensuring that there is something for every reader's taste. Despite the considerable effort put into this collection, I must express my disappointment with the lack of recognition it has received thus far. The stories within this collection are deserving of a wider audience, as they offer a unique and engaging reading experience. I invite readers to immerse themselves in the world of my short stories, micro-firction and discover the hidden gems within.

The Killers Stories[Demo] by clownycoffiny

This anthology plunges readers into a series of gripping and sinister tales, each unraveling a unique story of murder and descent into darkness. From the unraveling of friendships marred by twisted secrets in "Murderer Secrets" to the corrosive power of betrayal in "Dark Path Road," every narrative explores the thin line between humanity and monstrosity. These short stories vary in intensity, some subtly eerie and others shockingly brutal, drawing the reader into worlds where morality is lost, and the killers' psyches take center stage. But these are only the beginning. The collection features many more chilling tales, each distinct yet equally haunting. With plots ranging from calculated revenge to the harrowing consequences of guilt, every story promises to leave readers unsettled and craving the next dark revelation. This is not just a book-it's a labyrinth of fear, secrets, and the darkest corners of human nature.

AleX KaotiK: The Eldritch Saga! by Wulff420b

What if your worst nightmare was also your only protection? In a world where creepypasta legends breathe and demons plot, Alex is trapped in an eternal childhood-forever infantilized and bound to Kaotik, a chaos spawn who is simultaneously his guardian and greatest terror. As the Order of the Nine Aspects unleashes unholy forces, Alex must confront a destiny that threatens to devour his very soul. Alongside a guild of monster hunters, he'll discover that some monsters protect the world from worse horrors-and that the scariest stories are the ones writing themselves in blood. Survival means embracing the monster within. Not all heroes grow up. Some just get darker. When supernatural powers threaten to shatter his sanity, Alex's only choice is to harness the very bond that could destroy him. Between childhood trauma and cosmic horror, he stands at the precipice of a war that will remake reality itself. Some nightmares protect. Some protectors are nightmares. https://www.deviantart.com/wulff420b/art/AleX-970470355 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBAyMYO0dXs

Tales of desires by copperpens

This is a collection of short stories, exploring compelling themes and conflicted emotions. Delve deeper into the book by reading the stories and writing some of your own. This book would be open for adding more and more stories. I have written stories of my own and you can write your own stories as well. I would love to work with you people. If any of you is not comfortable with mature stories, you can leave now. No need to report the story or leave negative comments. Stories would include cheating which are purely for entertainment purpose. Author doesn't support the act at all.

Lovers of the Damned by ValentineVampires

Romance the living or those sweetened by death; there is someone always in need of a heart donor. Humor yourself in the ghastly, haunted corridors of unknown places, whether it be dreams, fairy tales, castles, and myths. The faces within a crowd stare, curious if you're willing to read a snippet of their life. This is simply a gothic collection of my sweet little characters, who define themselves as being murderous, dream-like, poetic, mysterious, or loving. They'll be the star of the story-it is up to you to decide whether or not you wish to indulge in their tales. Charming as they are at a first glance, be wise and wary of whom you decide to pin for.
