Book 1: Two detectives try to decide if the events of a tragic massacre thirty years prior have anything to do with their current investigation. The truth they seek is buried in lies and in the minds of those who were there. Can ghosts of the past really come back? Is there more to the story than what lies on the surface? Are these ghosts of the past real or simply nothing more than a legend?

"A lie would have no sense unless the truth were felt to be dangerous."

Burnt Blood: The Werewolf Within by Demon_Wolf_Detective

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro. [[word count: 114,000 words]] Warning Contains Murder, blood, demons, satanic worship, down-to-earth werewolf/demon wolf, guns, dead bodies, and talk of foster care may trigger. Ghosts.

As the haunting visions grow more vivid, Mike uncovers a horrifying truth: the curse tormenting him has haunted his family for generations. Desperate for answers, Mike embarks on a journey into his family's past, discovering cryptic journals and the mysterious disappearance of a man named Abraham Dunn. What begins as a search for the origins of his nightmares soon leads him to a decaying house on the edge of town, where shadows flicker in the corners and whispers echo in the night. With the help of his friend Sara, Mike unravels the chilling connection between his bloodline and a malevolent force sealed deep beneath the earth. But the shadows grow stronger, and the line between nightmare and reality begins to blur. To save his sanity-and his life-Mike must confront the terrifying truth about "the source" and find a way to sever the curse. But some bonds are not so easily broken, and the darkness may be closer than he thinks.

Columbia Ghost Story by Silbrith

October 2005. A ghost haunts the Columbia University campus. Neal visits Electra's home. Fluff: Halloween, Peter and El's anniversary. Columbia Ghost Story occurs after the events in Night Howls on the Hudson (Crossed Lines) and The Musicians (Caffrey Conversation). Crossed Lines is a fusion series of White Collar with Supernatural. Peter Burke already crossed the line to recruit con artist Neal Caffrey. To work with the Winchester brothers, he'll have to do the same. Similarly, Dean and Sam need to let Neal and Peter into their world. The stories are set within the Caffrey Conversation timeline but can be read separately. The Caffrey Conversation universe was created by Penna Nomen. In that world, Neal Caffrey--expert forger, thief, and con artist--is recruited by Special Agent Peter Burke to work for him at the FBI. Neal begins his new life in December 2003 when he is twenty-three years old. Unlike the TV series, Neal was never convicted of a crime and didn't serve time in prison. Penna Nomen is the creator and chief muse for Caffrey Conversation. She is also my writing partner. The complete list of all our stories is on our blog, Penna Nomen & Silbrith Conversation. This story is for fun. I don't own the rights to White Collar or Supernatural.

Hunter by EvelynCourtney95

Book 1 of the Hunter Series A family with hunter blood running through their bodies. This family kills any mythical creature they come across, and they are trained to kill and show no emotions towards the enemies. At least, that's how hunters used to be. Hunter's have always had the trouble of killing ever since they got mates that turned out to be the enemy. Some hunter's have had demons, werewolves, vampires, and other mythical creatures as mates. So what happens when every hunter in the world has found a solution to having a 'mate'? Let's just say mythical creatures better beware to what goes bump in the night because there's a new creature coming out into the dark, and they're not afraid of anything. What could possibly happen with there being a new cure to getting rid of mates? *** "Get off me mutt," I growled while still thrashing. I wasn't going to give up that easily, especially to a werewolf. He had me still however when he brought his face closer to my neck. There was no way I was the mate of a mutt, it had to be impossible because I was suppose to be with another hunter to continue the bloodline. "Why do you smell like her?" the alpha growled out at me. I threw him a confused look as if I knew what the hell he was talking about. I had no idea who he meant by 'who' and I didn't want to stay to find out either.
