Arkley Falls by themintymonster
4 parts Complete
A collection of stories set in a very unique small town. Somewhere in the northeast, there's a small town hidden away in the embrace of a beautiful, dense forest. You'd never find it unless you were looking for it... and that's exactly what the monsters that live there are hoping for. Most of the earlier stories were written episodically and published as such; however, to minimize confusion and tediousness, I'm publishing all of their parts together as longer chapters.

Drawn back by a past she can't escape, she soon finds herself face to face with her old friend Josh Washington, a man haunted not just by grief, but by his deepening mental illness.

Caught between her desire to save Josh and the terror that stalks them both, Cameron is forced into a deadly game of survival. The Wendigos aren't the only threat-there's a darkness growing inside Josh, and as their connection deepens, she must decide if she can help him fight it or if it will devour them both.

Demon's House by PracticalAxical
9 parts Complete Mature
Atlas just wanted to do his non-binary friend Jay a favor. Apparently that was too much to ask on a Halloween afternoon. At least, it was too much when that favor was to make them feel safe from the creepy, superstitious house across the street. Atlas makes the mistake of allowing the allure of the creature to draw him in without even realizing it had happened. What will he do when he finds that the humanoid demon man is just his type and vice verse? Trigger warning for anxiety, depression, and self-harm, and I imagine demon porn may "trigger" some.
