Jessica Jennings is a paranormal writer with a strange specialty: she's an interviewer for the dead. But a typical assignment at an old mansion on Halloween turns out to be more than she could handle. Claude Elburke, a renowned pianist, is not just any other interviewee. The catch? Claude has been dead for more than a hundred years, tormented by the house's sinister spirits, and an ancient, malevolent evil.

Serial by BLGielen

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]

The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down Anthology by katiegoesmew

Here I go with another writing experiment. I joined The Fabulous Spec-Fic Smack Down by LayethTheSmackDown, which required me to write Speculative Fiction flash fiction, short stories, drabbles, and poetry inspired by prompts. If you're as unfamiliar with Speculative Fiction as I was when I started this, check out @ReshapeIt for more info. So, the writing experiment: - I'd never written Speculative Fiction. - Or flash fiction. - Or drabbles. - Or from an image prompt. Somehow, I survived the eliminations until round four, part one. I've decided to keep following the contest on my own, so as long as it's running, I'll keep adding chapters within the deadline based on the prompts provided. But I won't stop when the contest ends. This has been such a fun project, so I've decided to continue entering prompt-based contests and keep the story going as long as I can. :) Note: Word count varies with the application used. All the word counts here come from Google Docs. Content/trigger warnings: anxiety, depression, loss of a loved one, murder, PTSD, sexual references, strangulation, violence.

Shadow and Steel by FHLevin

🏆 Chosen as Sci-Fi Story of the Month by Wattpad's @ScienceFiction. 🏆 Featured on Wattpad's @ShortStory. 🏆 Awarded Best Science Fiction at the October 2024 Flames Awards. 🏆 Chosen as Book of the Month by @CroodsGirl Shadow and Steel: A Sci-Fi Short Story Series. In a time when mankind has reached the stars, the light of progress does not shine upon all. On the fringes of known space, survival is a brutal dance of skill, cunning, and ruthlessness. Meet a hustler chasing the next score; a doctor trying to mend a broken world; an enforcer wrestling his demons; and a pilot who bends the rules of the sky. Each fights their own battles, until their lives become entangled in a web of dangerous alliances, shifting loyalties, and interstellar power struggles. Caught between blaster shoot-outs, high-speed starship chases and an unforgiving universe that devours the weak, the line between good and evil is as blurred as the stars themselves. Because in the dark corners of space, you either bleed out in Shadow or carve your path on Steel. Content Warning: This series contains violence, gore, death, harassment, strong language, drug use, psychological trauma, and mature situations. Reader discretion is advised.

(LGBTQ+ fantasy) This is book 2 of The ShadowHunter Series. Please go read book 1 (The ShadowHunter) first!!!! This book won't make sense if you don't. A terrible accident has torn Eclipse out of her dimension and trapped her in another. It was never meant to happen, yet it did. But now Eclipse has to complete her trial, and prove herself worthy of returning to her own dimension. But there's one big problem: She's fading fast. She won't ever be able to go back home if she fades away completely. So now there's a time limit. Will she be able to complete her quest and return home to those she loves? Or will she be too late and lose everything she thought she had? She just needs to follow the path of her blood and face her past. But how can she do that when she's suddenly thrown into a land in the middle of an ancient and vicious war and is now a prisoner? What if she can't survive this, after all that she's been through? 4% death 1% LGBTQ+ 60% random quest 6% StarClan rip-off 11% Wings of Fire tribes 10% time travel 4% fantasy 2% magic 2% creativity This story includes tribes from Tui T. Sutherland's Wings of Fire series. I do not own them. This also has nothing to do with that show/story idk about shadowhunters; I didn't know that existed. Highest ranking: 4th in #palaces Reads Milestones: 100 ✔️ 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 900 1,000
