One by one by WorthyReading

It wasn't very difficult to plan out my first victim. I watched them all day, studied their movements, listened to their conversations, and watched them fall asleep. The funny thing about it was that I was just a few feet away from them. But how could they have known? Why would they have to be scared for their lives when they were oblivious to how fast I could end them? When all goes wrong, nothing else can go right. A last week school field trip could cost you your life. But why think that way when the trip has yet to begin. When a group of five friends go on a school field trip to the woods, things seem normal until one of them goes missing.

The Girl Left Behind by SamanthaDybing

Lily Morgan has never truly belonged. After surviving the fire that killed her parents as a baby, she was taken in by relatives who never wanted her-an obligation, not a child. For seventeen years, she's lived in a house that feels more like a prison, haunted by a past she can't remember and a future she isn't sure she wants. But when her senior class plans a week-long trip to Hollow Pines, something inside her whispers that this isn't just a getaway. It's a warning. Because Hollow Pines isn't just any camp. People have gone missing there before. And when Lily vanishes on the third night, her friends are left scrambling for answers-only to uncover secrets that should have stayed buried. Somebody wanted Lily dead the night her parents burned. And this time, they won't fail. A haunting mystery filled with secrets, betrayals, and a past that refuses to stay buried. Perfect for fans of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and One of Us is Lying.

Ashes, Ashes by TLBodine

After Laurel's suicide, her oldest friends gather to fulfill her final request: Scatter her ashes at her family's remote old cabin, and drink to her memory. But as the night wears on, old grudges and dark secrets begin to emerge. And when one of the mourners is found murdered, the others are left reeling with the horrifying truth: Someone among them is a killer...and there's more to the story of Laurel's death than meets the eye. Content warning for suicide, murder and mentions of sexual violence.

Alone in the Snow by Mihtig_D

A man seeks escape in the wilderness, but the further he goes, the less the world makes sense. A storm rolls in, hunger grows, and something dark begins whispering from the trees. Shadows shift when he isn't looking. Time bends in ways it shouldn't. And something is watching-something ancient, something patient. By the time help arrives, reality itself has unraveled, leaving only emptiness... and a single blooming rose in the snow.

Don't Call Me Dead by JabeRona

When a young woman finds herself living in a forest, not remembering how she got there, why can't she leave or even what her name is, she can't help but wonder about her own identity. There's only one thing she believes she knows is that she's not a ghost - even if everything about her seems to prove otherwise. A supernatural mystery/horror novella. Completed. #4 in #GHOSTSTORY

But one day he comes across something totally out of place in his world, and it's only the first of many. Now he has to either accept there's a stalker living in his house, or that his mind is unraveling.

ASTRAY by G0thicTemplE

It was absolutely perfect... Until it's shattered by one simple mistake. Bitter and resentful, Roy hopes to escape the claws of the past by accepting a job offer at Little Ridge Camp in the local natural park. However, the forest is just as unforgiving as the world outside. The ancient canopy of trees holds secrets and bones alike, the remains of those who wandered astray. The whispers of insanity echo along the slopes, grazing the ears of those willing to listen. Can you hear them? Embark on a journey soaked with blood and tears. Will Roy uncover the phantoms of the Little Ridge Camp before he becomes one himself? Be aware gentle reader... If you gaze into the shadows, let it be known they stare back...
