To Kill a Witch (ONC 2024 SHORTLIST) by ixseesxblue

Stories say that the Witch rained curses down on Devil's Corner, that she made the woods grow strange and wild, made shadows leap and dance and snatch up stray children for supper. In a small town on the edge of a dangerous forest, stories are never in short supply, and they are held dearer than truth. Thea lost her hand to the things that live in the wood, and she can't shake loose the voice that lured her there. But her Pa fed her tales of magic and heroes, and promises that even the darkest things have hearts. When her brother is attacked by the Witch's gruesome creations, Thea breaks into her cottage, determined to save him from a fate she knows all to well. Because in Devil's Corner, stories are true, and Thea knows the greatest one of all: the only way to break a curse, is to kill the witch. --- COMPLETE - 20,000 words Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

Ashes, Ashes by TLBodine

After Laurel's suicide, her oldest friends gather to fulfill her final request: Scatter her ashes at her family's remote old cabin, and drink to her memory. But as the night wears on, old grudges and dark secrets begin to emerge. And when one of the mourners is found murdered, the others are left reeling with the horrifying truth: Someone among them is a killer...and there's more to the story of Laurel's death than meets the eye. Content warning for suicide, murder and mentions of sexual violence.

The Cabin by AuthorSpice

A chill in the air, a quiet tapping in the corner, and the unshakeable feeling that someone is watching. All simple things that can be written off as features of an old cabin and an overactive imagination. While sharing a rustic cabin in the woods with her friends, Melanie finds herself within the grips of something evil lurking within the cabin... and it's not going to let her go.

Haunted by JuliaCoffin

The dead typically want one of two things. Ghosts crave conversation. Spirits seek pain. My name is Bria, and I've been able to interact with the dead for as long as I can remember. Communicating with the deceased might sound like a cool gift, but let me assure you, it's not. Ghosts don't shut up, and not all specters are friendly. In fact, most of them are dangerous. Pretending the paranormal doesn't exist is far easier than talking to the shadows, so I've been avoiding the dead for years. Past experiences have led me to avoid the living too. And for a long time, I've successfully kept my distance. Until a single ghost encounter in the library ruins everything. Now a couple of my classmates know my secret. But as it turns out, they have a deadly secret of their own. Time to talk to the shadows again. _______________ This story contains profanity and violence. [ONC 2021 Shortlister]

It will contain steampunk, historical fiction, urban fantasy, science fiction, fantasy, slipstream, sci-fantasy, horror, paranormal, general oddity and anything else that happens to fall out of my ears as ideas formulate into stories. Enjoy. Comments and constructive feedback always welcomed.

The Girl Left Behind by SamanthaDybing

Lily Morgan has never truly belonged. After surviving the fire that killed her parents as a baby, she was taken in by relatives who never wanted her-an obligation, not a child. For seventeen years, she's lived in a house that feels more like a prison, haunted by a past she can't remember and a future she isn't sure she wants. But when her senior class plans a week-long trip to Hollow Pines, something inside her whispers that this isn't just a getaway. It's a warning. Because Hollow Pines isn't just any camp. People have gone missing there before. And when Lily vanishes on the third night, her friends are left scrambling for answers-only to uncover secrets that should have stayed buried. Somebody wanted Lily dead the night her parents burned. And this time, they won't fail. A haunting mystery filled with secrets, betrayals, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is Lying.
