This was a project made because the word 'human' and the word 'monster' mean the same thing. All you have to do is change the circumstances. All you have to do is reduce them to nothing. And they will do everything to get back to the top. No house. No food.  No family. No money. No humanity. No morals.

   Part 1: Parasomnia
Ben's never felt so afraid. What was going on? Every time he closes his eyes, someone drops dead. He needs to get away from everybody... even those he loves... to keep them out of harm's way.

   Part 2: Somniphobia
Ben recollects his memories after escaping his abusive home to some Therapist. He tells a story of friendship, conspiracy, blood and guilt.

   Part 3: Night Terrors
Perceived, unlike the others, through the eyes of the horrified men and women who are supposed to keep the Sleepwalker in check, the prison is sent into disarray when the Sleepwalker escapes. Only it isn't the usual version of the Walker that takes over Ben this time... it's something more savage.
Part 3 contains two stories, told through multiple perspectives. While the Warden and the Overseers want to notify the Society's Council about the Breakout, and have to grapple with beasts and each other, Jinx and her fellow Agents wish to... eliminate some monsters, by any means necessary, even if that means sacrificing a limb or something much more dear to them. Their main target is the most dangerous one, the cause of everything, the Sleepwalker.
Only problem is that the titular monster isn't the same.

It's different. It's vicious. It's A̴̓͑̀́̅͆͌w̷̰̹̋ą̷̉́r̴̯͂̿e̴͙͔͂̐

Recommended 16+ for scary bits and pretty copious amount of blood. Also some intense, frightening moments, starting on the first chapter and ending after the epilogue.

Chasing the Ember:Echoes of the Void by theyluv_jh0n
47 parts Complete Mature
--- CHASING THE EMBER: ECHOES OF THE VOID In the end, it wasn't strength that saved them. It was the refusal to break. --- WORLDVIEW SUMMARY The Setting: A Dying Earth and the Last Ark Earth is uninhabitable. Scarred by war, disease, and climate collapse, the planet no longer supports life. The Emberwake Ark is humanity's final escape: a city-sized spacecraft holding 65,000 of Earth's last survivors, adrift in the void. No weapons. No military. Just thinkers, engineers, broken families, scavengers, and those who paid, tricked, or clawed their way aboard. Supplies are critically low. Food, oxygen, water, and mental stability are all degrading. No one's unscarred - some physically, others emotionally - except one man who's held together by a very thin, but unbroken, thread. --- The Universe: Cosmic Terror Meets Myth-Made-Flesh Space is not silent. It is alive with ancient, unknowable forces. Humanity begins to discover that myths weren't stories. They were warnings. Earth's ancient pantheons-Greek, Norse, Aztec, Egyptian, Chinese, Japanese-are distorted reflections of real cosmic beings. Entities that live between stars. These include: Jörmungandr - A space-leviathan that coils around dead stars. Apep's Spawn - Shadow-born creatures that eat dreams and time. Fenrir-class Entities - Beasts that hunt on instinct and collapse reality around them. Watchers - Beings that only observe. Their gaze erases people from memory and time. The Sun-Eater - An endless void that mimics stars and consumes anything seeking warmth. Quetzacryon - A radiant, godlike being that gives paradise... before incinerating all who submit to it. These aren't gods. They are forces. Intelligent, instinctive, and indifferent. Time loops, parallel realities, psychological traps, shifting laws of physics - the universe itself resists comprehension. ---

Their duty to the human race brings them across the country--and they all know it is no coincidence when they cross paths with Jane. As it happens, Jane is special.

So what will she do when they realize she's the greatest monster of them all? ✦Gods & Monsters is the first book of the Gods & Monsters trilogy, an emotional and epic tale of one woman's battle against true monsters while she endures her greatest fight--the war with her own inner-demon.

((This is targeted to people 16+)) The smell of blood was overwhelming. The scent of the short teen used to have was gone, replaced with the putrid smell of death and rot that covered the whole room and the killer himself. Blood smudged all over the teen and onto the older man as he attempted to escape. He got hungry and tired. He just wanted to eat and then sleep. He was preparing the girl, cutting her body apart and tearing the flesh off the bones, which is why the room was such a mess with her blood. Now, he had the boy in his hands. The hunger overtook him. The sharp pain of large "canine" teeth being plunged into his neck made Cameron scream. It was cut short, his whole body freezing up as the crazy man sunk his large fangs into his neck, ripping a large chunk of the boy's flesh in between his teeth. The pain only got worse when he felt the killer tug harshly, pulling his flesh out... ----- A gang of delinquents becomes lost in a forest, pursued by a frightening masked figure.

As they struggle to survive, the teens also grapple with the harsh environment that challenges them.

The Darkness in the Light by djscloud
25 parts Complete
For over a hundred years, humanity has lived in fear of the monsters that roam the streets, lurking in the drains below. Women and their daughters hide, protected in their homes, while men take their sons through the world, teaching them the responsibilities of having a family to feed and dangers to avoid. No one leaves the home unless it's essential, and most of the world prefers it that way. Until one girl spends her days perched on her window seat, looking down at the world below and dreaming of a different life. Her eyes are always drawn to the dark, ominous drains in the street, the ones that often blink open to swallow and person whole. One day, that person is her little brother, snatched right in front of her from their arms of their father and gone forever. When a person is snatched, they never return, and life goes on without them. But she can't accept that. Breaking all the rules, all the things she's ever known, she braves the world outside her little townhouse and goes on a mission into the darkness to find her brother. Only, it's soon her that becomes the one lost to the drains. To survive she must rediscover her world, and in the process, rediscover herself. She will be reunited with old friends, gain new ones, find out deeper secrets about her past than she ever could have imagined, and learn that the world is even more corrupt than she always thought. *** This story contains sexist ideology, mention of cheating, some gruesome scenes, and a whole lot of monsters and darkness. It isn't overly mature... there isn't much explicit language or sexual scenes, but there is a bit of violence, so just keep that in mind... and despite all that negativity, ENJOY!

KLAUS'S NIGHTMARE ABOUT HUMAN CENTIPEDE: SECOND SEQUENCE by K_Amberbeeofficial
17 parts Complete Mature
Klaus never imagined his life would spiral into a nightmare of blood, trauma, and twisted family ties. His once-normal existence shattered when his best friend, Colton, embarked on a sickening experiment, sewing people together in a grotesque imitation of a centipede. What started as a dark curiosity quickly morphed into a sadistic obsession, and Klaus found himself trapped in Colton's nightmarish plans. With his friends-Joseph, Amybeth, and twin sister Elijah-caught in Colton's grip, Klaus was forced to confront his worst fears. The person he trusted most had become a monster, and survival meant making impossible choices. As Colton's madness grew, Klaus battled his own guilt and terror while trying to save those he loved. The bloodshed reached horrifying heights, and despite his best efforts, Klaus couldn't escape the grip of Colton's cruelty. When the violence finally stopped, the echoes of Colton's insanity lingered, leaving Klaus with more than just physical scars. As he pieces together a life that will never be the same, Klaus is left to face the truth: the nightmare will never fully end. [This book, like the rest of the KNAHC series, is pure satire-a crack fic making fun of The Human Centipede. I don't actually like the films or the South Park episode, but my best friend, Colton, does and loves body horror. This was inspired by a nightmare I had at 13 during summer vacation in Seaside Heights, Nj, after watching The Human Centipad with Colton.]
Runaway by lebanerd
38 parts Complete Mature
I ran, and I ran, and I ran, trying to get as far away from the mansion as possible. I was too weak to shift, but my determination kept me running. The house disappeared from my line of vision, and I was soon surrounded by greens. I didn't know where I was going, and at this moment, I didn't care. I was officially a fugitive. Angry screams followed by howls echoed through the forest: they noticed my absence. I let out an airy laugh. I was a runaway, but I was free. Finally free. -- [Completed + Under Major Editing] Some comments that I really appreciated: "please continue. it sounds really interesting!!!" ~GalaxyWolf78 "AHSJSKZUZIDNANSN?? *^^^^^*" ~Sarah-Senpaii "MORE MORE I NEED MOAR OF MY DAILY VITAMINS" ~Sarah-Senpaii "Love this book" ~DisneyisEternal "Awwweeeeeeeeeee sooooooooo ccuuuuuttteeeeeee aaannnddd AWESOME!" ~CrownofSpades "Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!!!!" ~dustbunny101 "SAVAGE" ~TrustMe_ImFine "omg no way" ~dimatabbara "*sighs* " ~lolitscherish "Lol.
