adventure cult dastardioushollow horror kidnapping murder mystery nanowrimo15 police prequel psychological thriller

Bloody bodies are showing up tied to road signs, their hands pointing in the direction of the signs. In the silent dawn there are whispers of unholy things that happen out in the fields late at night, secret ceremonies attended to by hooded men. The townsfolk are freaked, and as the weight of the mysterious deaths threatens to crush the town a young girl is kidnapped. The only evidence left at the scene is a note "The Moon rises in six, Death rises in seven. Soon blood will water the first crops of the new world".

To James Holland, a fresh up and coming detective, the note makes little sense, but as it is his first case he knows he has one week to find the girl before the moon rises or risk having a black mark across his name.

Carvings That Bind de Chaoticmocha

Alyssan Bogard didn't live a long life. She died when she was 17. All she remembers is waking up in her backyard. She has no memory of her death and only has a vague idea about what happened from what she's heard while lingering around her family and previous school. Alyssan has no idea why she's lingering around as a spirit and wants nothing more than to move on. That is until she meets Sawyer. Sawyer Garrison is the guy the teachers adore, who people want to befriend, and who girls want to date. He's the one who's been voted most likely to succeed in life after school. His family life is shit. Sawyer wants nothing more than to get out of dodge as soon as the opportunity presents itself and with only seven months, two weeks, and four days left it couldn't come sooner. That is until he meets Alyssan. Neither expected to meet the other and neither expected the horrendous outcome that arises from it. Alyssan never ran away and she didn't die of any natural causes either. She was murdered and the fact that her killer is still on the loose scares both of them. The fact that the killings started again is even worse. With the killer targeting more girls, she and Sawyer might be the only hope of stopping the deaths. However, remembering the events of her past might be too much for Alyssan to handle and with her time on the earth dwindling things aren't exactly looking good for them. * Cover done by VictoriaKaer

A VEIL IN THE SHADE de EliahRoyKercad

Wisnokee. A city where the night devours the weak, and justice is as twisted as the criminals who rule its streets. Corruption thrives in every alley, and the law is just another game played by those with power. Detective Elroy Stephens has spent years trying to clean up the filth, but some cases refuse to be solved in the light. That's why, when the sun sets, he becomes something else. He becomes The Veil. A masked vigilante, a shadow in the dark, the last judgment for those the system refuses to punish. But Wisnokee is bleeding, and something far more sinister has emerged. Bodies begin appearing-hanging from streetlights, from courthouse rafters, from the bones of a dying city. Each corpse bears a mark-a sentence passed by an executioner long thought to be a ghost. They call him The Hangman. And his trials have just begun. Now, The Veil must descend into the abyss of Wisnokee's underworld, facing ruthless crime lords, corrupt officials, and a cult of justice-driven fanatics who believe the only way to cleanse the city is by leaving it hanging. As the lines between justice and vengeance blur, Elroy will be forced to confront his own demons. Because in Wisnokee, the only verdict that matters is the one written in blood. In Wisnokee, justice isn't blind... it's hanging by a thread.

Fear de Louisapoof

Psychological Horror and Slow-burn Dark Romance. 18+ --------------------------- It's been five years since that fateful Friday night. I remember it like it was yesterday. The night I was kidnapped. I was held against my will. Tortured. Starved. Broken apart, piece by piece. All in the name of "curing" me. He didn't just steal my freedom. He rewrote the rules of pain, of fear - and then, somehow, of love. If you'd told me I'd fall for the man who ruined me, I would've laughed in your face. But reality doesn't always follow logic. He's given me this journal and allowed me to write my story. He thinks I won't publish it. But I hope to, one day. This is my truth. My confession. My war cry. Because what they did to me deserves to be known. --------------------------- THIS BOOK CONTAINS VERY TRAUMATIC CONTENT!

Take Me to Ruin de aziiiweaver

They say monsters come out at night. They're wrong. The monsters never leave. The Hollow Men own the shadows of Blenford Ridge. They play by their own rules no one questions- because breaking them means you don't come back. There's only one way into their world: the Ritual. One chance to survive, to earn a place in the chaos and desire that waits beyond. No warnings. No second tries. Fail, and you disappear from their world forever. Angel Monroe never wanted their attention. But when the wrong glance turns into a challenge, she's pulled into a world of power, danger, and desire that's as twisted as it is addictive. Hate simmers. Tension burns. And the harder she pushes back, the more they seem to want her to break. Some men don't stop at breaking you. They want to own you. And when desire and danger collide, there's no telling who'll break first. Because some obsessions don't end with the night. They only get darker. ‼️⚠️WARNINGS⚠️‼️ graphic sexual content, bdsm and kink dynamics, consensual non-consent (cnc), violence and murder, psychological manipulation, dark and morally gray themes, emotional and physical degradation, toxic relationship, obsession and possessiveness, trauma and mental distress
