The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

The Day I Live by orpheusvamp

(READ ALL BEFORE STARTING BOOK) This is unedited. After the death of a 24 year old girl she's reborn, but the world around her seems different. Not only does she have an entirely different family, she sees... dead people. (And maybe more!) Her family claimed she was crazy and a liar for saying she could see ghosts. It was a disgrace to their family and the family name. So, she was ordered to keep quiet about it. She couldn't say a word about her occurrences to anyone. Maybe she is crazy, but the events that unfold when she meets a group of "demons" help explain why she is who she is. All she had to do was find an abandoned crypt in the middle of the woods.

The Whispers in Hollow Creek by viaaaa_writes

In the remote village of Hollow Creek, nestled deep within the misty confines of an ancient forest, strange occurrences disturb the lives of its inhabitants. Legends say that the village is cursed, haunted by vengeful spirits bound to the land since the tragic events of a forgotten past. The story follows Lily Dawson, a young journalist with a knack for the supernatural, who arrives in Hollow Creek to investigate these eerie tales for her latest article. Upon her arrival, Lily is welcomed by the cold stares and cryptic warnings of the villagers. She dismisses their superstitions, driven by her ambition to uncover the truth. However, as night falls, she begins to hear chilling whispers echoing through the tree line outside her window, coaxing her to uncover secrets buried long ago. Determined to find the source of these whispers, Lily teams up with an enigmatic local historian, Ethan, who believes that unlocking the past is the only way to quell the unrest. Together, they delve into the village's history, uncovering stories of a massacre that took place centuries ago during a ritual gone wrong. Each revelation brings them closer to the heart of the curse and the spirits trapped within. Amidst mounting fear and escalating supernatural occurrences, Lily and Ethan realize they must perform a dangerous ritual to appease the spirits and lift the curse. As they race against time, they battle both the sinister forces of the supernatural and the skepticism of the villagers who are unwilling to confront their past. In a spine-chilling climax set during a storm-laden night, Lily must face the ultimate test of courage and faith, as the boundary between the living and the dead blurs, threatening to engulf the village in shadow forever. It's a harrowing tale of uncovering darkness, confronting fears, and the unrelenting whisper of unseen forces that haunt the haunted.

Marked by the Veil by BWMcElroy

Rachel Wren, a forensic psychologist with a fractured past, and Tom Harlow, a disgraced investigative journalist drowning in his own demons, return to Hollow Ridge, the town that almost swallowed them whole. Bound by shared trauma, buried secrets, and an undeniable hunger that has never faded, their return unearths more than just the Veilkeeper's legend-it awakens something ancient, ravenous, and watching. The Veilkeeper, an entity older than time, feeds on fear, desire, and suffering, twisting reality and ensnaring its victims in a labyrinth of nightmares. Every thirteen years, it demands blood-a sacrifice from the descendants of Hollow Ridge's founders, an offering to keep the veil between worlds from collapsing. But Rachel and Tom's return isn't coincidence. They were always meant to come back. The Veilkeeper is inside them, watching, whispering, waiting. Their bodies burn with an attraction that feels too strong to be natural-too consuming, too raw, too wrong. In the dead of night, Rachel dreams of hands brushing over her skin, breath against her throat, shadows curling around her like lovers, their touch leaving bruises. She wakes to find her body aching, as if touched by something that should not exist. Tom, unable to resist the pull of her, finds himself losing control. He watches her in ways he never did before, drawn to her pain, to the haunted look in her eyes. He knows it's the Veilkeeper. He knows it's inside him, threading hunger through his veins. But the more he resists, the more he wants. Their connection-violent, desperate, inescapable-may be the key to either breaking the curse or fulfilling it. As the Veilkeeper tightens its grip, Hollow Ridge warps into a waking fever dream of lust and terror, where desire and destruction are one and the same. The closer they get to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell whether they're fighting the Veilkeeper... or becoming part of its legend.

*Buried Secrets* is a chilling, atmospheric novel that delves into the haunting mysteries of a long-abandoned Victorian estate shrouded in generations of dark secrets and ghostly whispers. When Clara inherits the sprawling property from her estranged family, she expects to find little more than a crumbling mansion and forgotten memories. Instead, she's plunged into a labyrinth of eerie artifacts, hidden rooms, and the ghostly presence of an unseen Entity that lurks in the shadows. As Clara sifts through old journals and ancient family letters, she uncovers the fragmented life of her ancestor Evelyn, a woman tormented by strange visions and haunted by the same entity that now watches Clara's every move. An oppressive silence fills the estate, each creaking floorboard and shivering curtain a reminder of the untold horrors buried within. The story follows Clara as she gradually unearths her family's dark legacy, grappling with supernatural forces that refuse to be laid to rest. Guided only by Evelyn's cryptic diary entries and the reluctant help of Father Dominic-a priest with his own haunting history-Clara confronts long-buried sins and the inexplicable presence that holds the estate in its grasp. Her journey is both terrifying and transformative, forcing her to question her own fears, her family's legacy, and the very boundaries between life and death. *Buried Secrets* is a tale of suspense, redemption, and the power of confronting the past, blending Gothic horror with a relentless, creeping dread that keeps readers on edge until the final page.
