The Blue Heron by howardmoore1

The population of central Louisiana’s swamplands swelter under the oppressive blanket of an unusually hot, humid and steamy summer; the unrelenting heat and humidity increase the pressure cooker like atmosphere, its duration and intensity is unheard of. The primeval richness and natural beauty of the humid untamed landscapes of the central Louisianan swamplands contrast starkly with its other dark characteristics. These being of perceived menace and disease which are interwoven in local culture and folklore with myths and legends that depict ghosts, spirits and supernatural evil. It is possible that these opposing characteristics of the central Louisianan swamplands mirror the opposing dark and light elements of my character which are in a continual struggle, one to dominate the other, and as such reveals itself as the backdrop to the story.

Whispers in the Dark by SVSato

Fifteen years ago, Claire Harper fled her childhood home, determined never to return. The house had been a place of secrets, whispers, and tragedies-most notably, the mysterious death of her best friend, Sarah, found cold and lifeless in the basement. Claire left everything behind, including her fractured relationship with her sister, Julia. But when Julia goes missing without a trace, Claire has no choice but to return to the decaying house she swore she'd never see again. The police have no answers, but cryptic messages on her phone suggest someone knows more about Julia's disappearance-and about what really happened all those years ago. As Claire digs deeper, old memories resurface: the strange noises in the house, the feeling of being watched, and the creeping sense that something malevolent has always lurked within its walls. With each step closer to the truth, Claire realizes that the line between memory and madness is dangerously thin-and the answers she seeks might just shatter everything she thought she knew about her family, her past, and herself. In this gripping psychological thriller, Whispers in the Dark explores the dark recesses of the mind and the haunting power of buried secrets. Some truths are better left forgotten... but what if they're the only thing that can save you?

GHOST PORTAL (#1 GHOST PORTAL series) by StephRose1201

If you're triggered by something sinister, do you seek its meaning, or do you leave it alone? *** Small-town barista and occasional stray animal rescuer Jessamine Spencer never would have guessed that a video about missing paranormal show-host Amy LaRoya would rile her up so badly, to the point of having nightmarish visions of the house where Amy was last seen, and an ominous sense that she'd been there before. But when Amy's fellow paranormal host Avery Boomer turns up at Jessamine's coffee-shop asking questions, he discovers that Jessamine is in fact linked to Amy--because she WAS at the mystical house Amy was last seen at. The problem is, Jessamine doesn't recall any of the circumstances that led her to be there, nor how she escaped. And Avery needs to locate Amy, because her final footage seems to imply something was after her and might have gotten to her; something clearly supernatural in nature. If Avery convinces Jessamine to help him, will she recover enough of her memories to navigate to this mystery house, and hopefully find Amy there? Or is there more hiding in the forest--forces and prophesies that Avery and Jessamine will never understand? *** Join me as I share the new version of the first novel I ever *fully* wrote! Trigger warning for language, violence, sexual situations, mentions of suicide, possession, jump-scares, and overall disturbing stuff. Enjoy ♥
