Esoteric: adj. Understood by or meant for only the select few who have special knowledge or interest.

A group of eight. Multiple disappearances appear around town. Bodies of the missing coming back dead. An unknown prosecutor. 

The citizens of Madison, Massachusetts are in an uproar as these unexplainable events occur. It started badly with the kid. It got worse as the missing and dead piled up. 

The deaths are brushed off as accidents, and the "murderer" behind bars. Yet, some know better. Some who can see things others cannot.

Enter the "buddys club". A group of high school freshmen, attempting to survive the year. Determined to get to the bottom of these problems, they try to solve the problem through dangerous, contradictory ways. Navigating personal problems, rivalries, and of course the trouble in everyone's mind is the adventure of a lifetime. 

But, as relations flare and the trouble outside their doorstep becomes more real and horrifying, they must discover where their true allies and trust remain, and what they must do to save everyone around them.

*****

TW: Gore, horror, death, murder.

The Tragedy of Eden's Gate by Maeve-Ashford
14 parts Complete
When a dark situation leads Theo to the quiet village of Eden's Gate, where the residents are odd and the pool of friends severely lacking, he's less than thrilled. The town is a miserable means to an end. And, to make matters even worse, he's pretty sure the house is haunted. Cold spots, flickering lights, a shadow that won't stop following him- a recipe for a haunting, and for a complete disaster. Sam is a vengeful spirit, cursed to walk the halls of his own murder scene for the rest of eternity, doomed to an afterlife of dismal solitude. And then his favourite resident goes and dies, the house is given to new people, and Sam discovers - quite by accident - that the boy sleeping in his room can see him. And he is the only one who can help Sam solve his murder. ───── • ⋆⋅⛧⋅⋆ • ───── Status: Complete Story length: 40,000 words ONC 2023 Prompt: • They were not real, everyone told me they were not real.

Bloodlust by sspeanut4
13 parts Complete Mature
"Swiftly, the blade was plunged into the base of his neck and yanked out not another second later. Dark red blood sprayed out from his neck like a broken water pipe, covering the murderer with his blood, before the pressure dropped and the blood flowed proforously down his orange shirt. The boy I had a crush on used whatever strength he had left to spit blood on his murderer's face, before collapsing on the ground with a heavy thud." Things turn south when six friends enter their school during the dead of night. What was thought to be a simple dare becomes a life threatening game of cat and mouse. Will they be able to outrun the school's gruesome past, or will they join the others before them? One thing is for sure, if they ever get out of there alive, their lives will be changed. Forever.

Abnormality in normality. by yoruyami61
13 parts Ongoing Mature
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Please don't! No, don't do it please! No, please, I am begging! Not again please. They didn't listen. They didn't. They kept on doing it over, over and over again. They were like a blood-curdling spoilt alarm clock signal repeating itself endlessly. There was actually no end. My tired baggy eyes slowly fluttered open. Everywhere was moving in a gradual wobbly pace. I felt dizzy. My head was banging and banging relentlessly like a popcorn machine. Nauseating flashes of familiar faces covered up in grisly blood popped up in my terrified mind. I immediately gagged as a result. My stomach churned as the flashes slowly became more vivid. "Oh, you're awake? That good for you" A deep, yet falsely gentle, voice pierced through my turmoil. "Care for another round?' he said giving me a sinister smirk. "No please. I can't take it anymore! Just kill me please!" I said while wet flow of tears ran through my cheeks. Warning : This book may contain suicidal thoughts, torture scenes, trauma, gore, bloody scenes and lots of deaths.
