Stingy Jack is back, and all soon changes when he's found unconscious at the door step of two college students.
*****
After a wild Halloween party, Maud and her drunken roommate Lyn stumble home, only to find an unconscious man with a pumpkin face at their doorstep. Maud, a lover of all things spooky and bizarre, is intrigued and decides to bring the stranger inside. What starts as a curious attempt to question his eerily realistic costume turns into a shocking revelation: this isn't just any man-he's the infamous folklore figure, Stingy Jack.
As Maud grapples with the reality of hosting a legendary trickster, Lyn remains skeptical, worried about the dangers of having such a monstrous-looking, yet seemingly harmless, being in their home. But Maud's fascination grows, and so does her determination to uncover Jack's mysterious return.
Haunted by voices in his head, Jack is desperate for answers of his own. Why is he back, and what fate awaits him? As he searches for the truth, Jack faces a life-altering choice: change his ways and defy his cursed past, or allow history to repeat itself, living up to the name that doomed him.

The House That Whispers
It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That WhispersConcluida
