Rachel began having nightmares of a place called the Carnival of Doom, where she would wander around and find the same torturous dreams that rob her of a peaceful night's sleep.
Starting a new school wasn't easy for Rachel, especially when she kept thinking about her nightmares. She was a loner, a new student who didn't have any friends. So she occupies her time drawing the one man who haunts her nightmares. But when she throws the drawing away and it's discovered, it leads to her being kidnapped by the Midnight society. It is there that Rachel tells her story of the Carnival of Doom, not realizing it was a real thing, and that it was in town causing many local kids and teenagers to disappear.
It's now up to the midnight society to team up with a mysterious woman, to help put an end to the Carnival of Doom and stop Mr. Tophat from kidnapping teens and kids to add them to his carnival. Will they be able to stop Mr. Tophat, or will they too fall victim to the carnival like many others, including the mysterious woman helping them?

Remember That Story..?
(BBS x Reader) The heavy, raspy breathing of running footsteps and scared teenagers were all I could process. I couldn't remember how we got here or where the hell we were...but we were so scared. We were terrified. My eyes widened as I came to a crashing halt into a bush, the males following after as they toppled over each other, including me. "It was a clear fucking path- where did this come from?!" I wasn't up to throw out suggestions but it must've been whatever was keeping us here to have stopped us from leaving. "Get up, we need to run!" I said with a heavy breath of tiredness "No we need to plan! We need- wait who the hell are you?" Who am I? Who are they..? ~~~ First Published: ,'3 ~~~ "Y/N you're always day dreaming, ha ha!" I passed her a look of recognition as I pulled out a smile for her. "A wild imagination I guess." "Yeah, a still functional one really! You're such a creative person." "Creative enough to kick your ass." She howled with laughter as she pulled out her phone and challenged me to our favorite competitive game. Next thing I know, I was stuck in a ginormous sticky web with a hiss of something big coming... ~~~ This is gonna be a horror story and a lot of fears are going to be explored in this book. I will list them in the Prologue. Enjoy! First Published: Sep. 12, 2023

Surrender // Steve Harrington x Reader
She didn't know any better. Years of being raised by the evil entity that was once Henry Creel skewed her view of the world she once lived in. When Y/N is sent by him from the Upside Down to infiltrate those that so tediously continue to thwart his plans, she ends up finding something with someone that she never could have expected. Will she betray the one who raised her, who helped her escape that horrific lab? Or will she help him burn it all to the ground? One thing was for sure. There was only one thing that might change her mind... She just doesn't doesn't even know he exists... Yet.

The Gory Details (Gross)
Between 2004 and 2008 I wrote a series of "Tips for Writers" for Nocturnal Ooze magazine vaguely about what would happen in real life if you did the things they do in movies but mostly about the gross out. I've always loved them and so have taken them out of mothballs for a new audience here on wattpad. They're all here except for #13 which seems to have vanished. I've also left them mostly intact except for a few very dated references that have been updated. I own the rights to the articles and Queen Mum of the Ooze, Kay Patterson has allowed me to keep the name "Gore Monger" (which she owns) provided I write: The Gore Monger appears courtesy of Nocturnal Ooze.
