**"The Watcher in the Dark"**  
*by FG. Capote*

Ethan Bishop thought his new job as a night security guard in the affluent, gated community of Nautical Heights would be easy-a quiet post watching over wealthy homes. But as the nights wear on, strange things begin to happen. Shadowy figures move just beyond the edge of his vision, whispered voices call his name, and unsettling events blur the line between dream and reality. As paranoia grips him, Ethan must confront the possibility that something far more sinister than boredom lurks in the darkness, watching him from the shadows. Is it all in his mind, or has he become prey to a malevolent force beyond comprehension? 

The more Ethan uncovers, the more he questions whether he can survive another night-or if the real horror lies in never being able to leave.All Rights Reserved

Heady Elixirs by AnnieeWrites

Darkness has a new face, and it's hungry. They thought they were ready. They were wrong. A creature born of nightmares rises, threatening to consume the very light they fought to ignite. Liam's grip is all that anchors her as chaos explodes around them. Their only hope? A desperate gamble with an ancient altar. But victory is a cruel illusion. Selene's warning echoes: the shadows are more than minions; they're them. And as familiar faces twist into grotesque mockeries, doubt becomes a weapon more deadly than any fang. One wrong move, one moment of weakness, and everything they've fought for will be swallowed by the abyss. What lurks beyond the shadows? And what price will they pay for awakening it?

The House That Whispers by beingillusionist

It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That Whispers

The Forgotten Trails by ZRABYSS

Eighteen people arrive at a remote mountain lodge - couples, friends, strangers - each drawn by different reasons: a vacation, a retreat, a break from life. None of them realize they've been lured there by something deeper than coincidence. Something ancient. Something waiting. As a snowstorm seals them in, unsettling events begin to unravel their reality. Hallucinations. Shifting memories. Sudden violence. The lodge becomes a trap, and one by one, they begin to fall - victims of forces none of them can explain. But this isn't the first time. Though they don't remember it, they've all been here before. In other lives. Other versions of themselves. And each time, the outcome is the same. There is a reason they keep coming back.

The Diary of Tomorrow by kcuf625

SELF PUBLISHED. BUY NOW ON AMAZON https://a.co/d/hPXh35A What if you could read tomorrow's events today? When Ethan Carter, a skeptical freelance journalist, stumbles upon an old, leather-bound diary hidden in his attic, he thinks it's nothing more than an heirloom from his late grandmother. But when the pages start filling themselves with entries-describing his future in unsettling detail-Ethan's world tilts into nightmare territory. At first, the diary seems harmless, even helpful. It predicts small events: a spilled coffee, a forgotten phone call. But as Ethan follows its entries, the predictions grow darker... and deadlier. Each page drags him deeper into a chilling reality where time bends, shadows move when they shouldn't, and a sinister entity watches from the corners of his vision. When a cryptic stranger warns him to burn the book before it's too late, Ethan hesitates. The more he reads, the harder it is to stop. His best friend Harper tries to pull him back, but when the diary predicts her death, she begins to fear him as much as the book itself. Now, Ethan is trapped in a horrifying paradox-does he obey the diary and risk becoming its pawn, or defy it and face the unknown consequences? As the final entry begins to write itself, one truth becomes clear: The story was never his to tell. He was always part of it. Fans of The Silent Patient and The House of Leaves will be riveted by this psychological thriller infused with supernatural horror. Can you trust your own fate when it's already written?

Take Me to Ruin by 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
