When a hired contractor working on preparing a mansion to go on the market finds a strange door in the basement, everything he knew about the house, job, and situation are turned upside down. Can he handle the strange discovery downstairs, or should he be more worried about the infestation of fur beetles in the kitchen? With only a few days until the open house, can he handle the stress and get everything done in time? 

This story is inspired by the Cellar Story episode in Are You Afraid of the Dark. 

Rating: Rated PG-13 for violence, scary moments, character death, and language. Nothing explicit.

33 parts Complete Mature
Liam left everything that he knew behind, his house, the neighborhood he lived in, and the city that he knew. Why? Because he needed a change. He needed a fresh start; he couldn't handle the gossips anymore, the neighbors whispering behind his back, the failed relationship that ended with a heartache for him and not his ex. He needed to be in a new area where no one knew what happened; no one knew the suffering he went through. So what does Liam do? He packs his things, sells his house, old furniture, and buys a new home in an area he's never even been in or heard of. Everything should go perfectly, right? This fresh start. Not quite, Liam has an unwanted guest in his new house, and this guest doesn't want to leave; she seems to be telling him that it's her house and not his. She's mistaken; this house was Liams. After all, he's purchased it for an excellent price and has moved all his new things in there. She's the one that needs to go, not him. So why is it that Liam is unable to kick her out of his home? Why is it that she won't leave?! or is it that she can't go. Strange things start to occur in Liam's new home, something that shouldn't be happening, spooky things, things that would happen in horror movies, and Liam doesn't know what to do. He starts to panic; he's the only one panicking; the unwanted guest, on the other hand, just stares at him with a smile as she throws her head back, letting out a chilling laugh. "We'll see who ends up leaving, because I am not going anywhere." She says.

WHATEVER YOU DO... DON'T OPEN THE DOOR! Ever since a violent robbery forced Josh Riley and his family to move to a new house, he's been on edge. There's a strangely unsettling new student at school, and he can't sleep at night. The nightmares and insomnia from his anxiety are bad enough. But when he's home alone, something comes knocking at his front door. In the deepest, darkest part of the night, he hears the house rattle and the doorknob turn. He catches glimpses of unexplainable things - bloodshot eyes staring back through the peephole, strange symbols around the door, and racing shadows - but no one believes him. Have the thieves tracked him down? Is it merely a neighborhood prankster? Or is Josh losing his mind? The Door is a heart-pounding, page turning thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.
