House of Cards (ONC 2025) de EchoStoriesMB

Prompt: 90 In your new neighborhood, there's a mansion of cards. Everyone talks about it. One day, you stumble across it and uncover something far more sinister than you could've imagined. Summary: After the disappearance of her twin brother, King, Qhuinn makes the sudden move to the small town of Haven and completely uproots herself. She takes on a new job at a new department as a rookie Haven P.D. detective, investigating a string of disappearances that may be connected to her brother's. However, as she continues to dig, she finds that there is a much darker tale to the disappearances than she ever thought. Now her only question is: Can she find any of the victims and bring them home. . . alive?

Dear Adelaide, de KeeperOfTheSticks

On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Adelaide Cottlethorne slipped in the tub. At least that's what they tell her replacement. Cottlethorn Manor is a house where time stands still. Where memories are never lost. And days are never broken. The family that resides there is perfect. Doll-faced. Porcelain. Well, almost. With anticipations, they await their new daughter dearest. The one to wear the locket. The girl to fill the shoes. When Olivia arrives at their doorstep, flustered from the eyes in the leaves, with a suitcase in hand, she wants nothing more than a blank slate and a chance to gain a last name. Upon meeting the family that waits behind closed doors, she swiftly takes on the role of the Cottlethorne's perfect new daughter. There's just one rule: "No Mention of the Past". But when Olivia begins recalling someone else's memories, that are somehow replacing her own, strange melodies, footsteps in the ceiling, and golden visions of blood-filled tubs, she also begins to suspect that nothing at the manor is quite as "perfect" as it seems. The family will not speak a word of Adelaide's death. In fact, no one seems able to recall it happening in the first place. They instead, all seem focused on what they refer to as "the most important day of all". Olivia's eighteenth birthday is coming up soon. And she is beginning to forget her own name.

Silent Sins| ONC 2025 de OutOfMyImagination

This story is written for The Open Novella Contest 2025 Prompts: 66. It's not a mystery-it's the walls. They hold secrets, but what are they hiding? 80. The corpse in the hospital actually alive. 125. "Fear is the mind-killer."-Quote by Frank Herbert -"Dune". *Weekly updates on Thursday.

It Came With The House de SnowyWraith

**Entry in thegrudgecontest** I was a non-believer of the supernatural, a skeptic if you will. I thought ghosts were a figment of overactive imaginations. Paranormal was just a genre created for entertainment purposes. But all that changed when I moved into an old farmhouse that had a tragic past... My once normal life was thrown into absolute chaos by one ticked-off specter. A ghost who was furious that we had trespassed onto their property and wanted us gone expeditiously. ********************** Highest Rankings as of 06/19/2021: #1 diabolical #2 erie #4 thegrudgecontest #13 following #18 haunted house #24 fright ********************** Some strong language so be advised.

Down Under de AmyMarieZ

|WATTYS 2022 WINNER - HORROR| Shawn, a convicted criminal, never thought she'd see the sun again, let alone call another star system her home. When she's offered an out from her prison sentence, she embarks on a dangerous interstellar expedition along with 18 of Earth's most intelligent criminals. Their task is to set up a base on a supposedly habitable planet and prepare it for colonization. Although the planet has liquid water and a breathable atmosphere, it is believed to host only microbial life. However, upon arriving, Shawn and the rest of the colonists learn that assumption was grossly incorrect. In a brutal attack from rampaging wildlife, everyone but Shawn and four other colonists are killed. The five survivors retreat to the cavernous network beneath the ground seeking safety, but they soon come to a terrible discovery. These caves aren't ordinary caves, and they are no safer down under than they were on the surface. [][][] This was originally my entry for the 2021 Open Novella Contest, and it received an honorable mention! It has now been expanded into a full length novel. I used prompt number 53: "When wildlife starts rampaging, all the humans are forced underground. However, they come to a terrible discovery that being underground is no safer than being on the surface."

ROGUE REBORN - ONC 2023 de StephRose1201

**OPEN NOVELLA CONTEST SHORTLIST** Even if she is killed, she is never dead. ***** She'd spent many, many years in the same body, getting used to her quirks, her mannerisms, learning how to survive through the ages. Yet Josephine wakes up one night and realizes she's been asleep for a century: it's now 2023, and her last memory was being on a boat with friends back in 1923. As an immortal woman--a Reborn--she can never truly die, but if mortally wounded or killed, her body disintegrates, and her essence roams for one hundred years before it creates a new body to inhabit. If she slept for so long, it can only mean one thing: someone murdered her back on that boat, and now she needs to find out who and why. *** ONC entry based on prompt #2: "One night you woke from the dead. For you, you were gone mere seconds, for the world you were gone almost a century. How will you navigate this new world?"

Humane de UnravelAsha

(COMPLETED) (SHORTLISTED IN THE ONC) Rated mature due to violent descriptions and triggering topics like blood, gore, death, murder, and suicide. ~~ Ava had watched a grotesque video about the murder of a 'living' doll. Weak at heart, she was haunted by it. But she was not prepared for the same porcelain doll to come to her possession three months later. Now she is stuck in her room with a supposedly living doll, fearing for her life. Overthinking was starting to get the best of her, but she has a feeling they're not just thoughts, and that she was truly in danger. When she starts having her personality switch into a violent version of herself, she knows that she has gotten into deep trouble, regardless of the doll's presence. ~~ An ONC 2022 entry woven from prompt #18: There was something inside me that wouldn't stop until the whole world was blood. Featured by @lowfantasy on their reading list 'Dark Days'!

The House de MaggieOHighley

Belle, an art student in need of a place to work on the paintings for her evaluation, makes the mistake of leaving it to her bungling cousin Craig to find that place for her. And find her a place, he did... "Craig! You said this house was, and I quote, 'pretty and quaint, rich in history and character.' You did NOT say that it was squalid and putrid, rich in bad odours and horror! Come on! The lights aren't even working!" "I am in a house that has seen smugglers, refugees and criminals passing through its hallways. A house where broken clocks kick up a storm of sound at random intervals, a place where time doesn't matter and every minute hand follows its own path. An old mansion filled with sounds and secrets. Really nothing to inspire peace of mind..." As a storm wreaks havoc and the house wakes up, Belle is increasingly bugged by one very important question: Is the man sharing the house with her real, or is he just a very sexy mop?

Wyatt's Magical Wardrobe || ONC 2024 de shellzels

Round two ambassador pick. Wyatt has just won it big and, in a drunken haze, buys an old, neglected mansion. When she moves in to start renovations, she gets an eerie feeling that she's not always alone-and let's not forget the noises. One fitful night, she heads to the kitchen for a midnight snack and is shocked when a random stranger runs past her in the hallway. A handsome man dressed like Mr Darcy, who disappears like a ghost. After her encounter, Wyatt does some research into the old house, only to discover it has a creepy and troubling past. But that's nothing compared to the revelation that the old antique wardrobe in her room is a secret doorway to the past and the handsome stranger is no ghost, but the son of an Earl looking for his long-lost aunt.
