NEIL LEE HALE CANNOT TOUCH ANYONE.

Seven years after a stint in a psychiatric facility, Neil-former crime scene consultant, infamous for his unconventional talents-lives on the knife-edge of existence. Of society, of understanding, of sanity. There, his talents-a series of strange, suppressed psychic abilities-are silent, muffled, distant.

But then the murders begin. Ritualistic. Brutal.

An old friend's voice beckons him back to Ashford, Vermont, to a college plagued by death and secrecy, and a fragmented darkness Neil can glimpse with his mind-flashes of blood, sacrifice, hidden truths thrumming underneath the surface. In this twisted labyrinthine, Neil finds himself caught in a dangerous cat-and-mouse game with a mind as broken as his own. As the bodies pile up and his strange visions begin, Neil finds himself caught between predator and prey, villain and innocent, and will stop at nothing to discover the rot underneath the surface, even at the cost of his own sanity.

Whispers of Willow Creek by ImStillRemi

Kirby Thorne's search for his missing brother, Daniel, leads him to the unnervingly perfect town of Willow Creek. A place of manicured lawns, smiling neighbors, and a deep, resonant Bell that chimes with unnatural regularity, the town lives in a state of absolute, unwavering harmony. But the perfection is a mask, and the harmony is a cage. The residents' smiles are vacant, their compliance is absolute, and a strange chemical blend in the daily tea dulls more than just the nerves. Kirby's investigation into Daniel's last known whereabouts quickly unravels a terrifying conspiracy-a dark ritual, a town-wide delusion, and a monstrous secret sleeping beneath the soil. In Willow Creek, paranoia is a communicable disease and compliance is the only law. As Kirby peels back the layers of deception, he realizes he isn't just searching for his brother anymore. He's fighting for his sanity and his life, hunted by fanatics who will do anything to protect the Vow and contain the madness that whispers from the deep.

How Monsters Confess: A Lost Boys Fanfiction by amberandshadow

FINISHED AND COMPLEATED. A peculiar young psychologist meets four enigmatic bikers with eyes too old for their faces. She listens when others scream. They circle when others run. There's something about her calm that unsettles them-and something about their hunger that doesn't shake her in the slightest. As sessions bleed into obsession, what starts as fascination unfurls into something darker: a study in appetite, violence, and the intimacy of confession. She offers them questions. They offer her their pasts. And somewhere in the echo between mind and monster... someone is losing control. In a game of predators and patients-who's really doing the hunting?

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

love is throw violence and blood: A Lost Boys Fanfiction by amberandshadow

FINISHED AND COMPLEATED She thought pain was love-until she met monsters who showed her what real darkness looked like. Despite everything she's endured, she's still standing. Still here. She may feel like she doesn't belong anywhere, yet she remains steadfast. No matter what comes her way, she continues to smile, laugh, and wear that innocent mask. She bandages her own wounds, offers help with bloodied hands, and believes the bruises are just another way her parents show love. Because how else is a 14-year-old supposed to understand affection when the only love she's ever known has come through violence, harsh words, and cold stares? She walks out of rooms with fresh bruises and calls it normal. She smiles anyway. She stays anyway. But in the shadows of Santa Carla, where vampires rule the night and danger wears a charming grin, she'll learn that love can be twisted-and sometimes, survival means unlearning everything you thought love was.

The Third Word by kkeraunoss

A text that changed her life. __________________________________________________ Gwen Smith had a crush on Ethan, a very charming and kind guy from the classroom down the corridor, since 2 years. But she never uttered a single word in front of him or got noticed by him. Her friend gave her an awful idea of texting him through Social Media, when all the fun started. Ethan sent a weird text to Gwen before he was found dead in his house. Was it a clue that he had given her? Things get interesting when Gwen is urged to unfold the truth behind his death by a series of paranormal events. The dead has returned for revenge. Can you guess the third word? "I'll meet you at the divide, to break the spell... A point where two worlds collide, and we'll rebel..." __________________________________________________ © heybakaisthatyou

The North Sea Beast by ADEM-NAMAN

"I'll tell you something about myself- I never mince words. Nature is a beast, Henry. We were not created to live in peace within it. Be grateful for those who let you down; pain is the only truth that endures." The sea wind howls a bitter truth across the North Sea coast: betrayal, not love, is the world's only constant. This is not a tale of heroes and villains, but a brutal exploration of the human soul-a mirror reflecting the savage beauty and terrifying depths we all possess. The guilt-ridden, the desperate, and the cunning are all players in a high-stakes legacy that demands a price from every generation. Beneath the veneer of civilized society, a clandestine order pulls the strings, their influence woven into the very fabric of existence. Secrets fester within an ancient bloodline, grasping like tendrils into the present day. Honour clashes with avarice. Integrity squares off against ruthless force. Cunning faces brutality. Who will rise, and who will be consumed by the abyss? Rumors whisper of a slumbering entity, a primal force stirring beneath the surface. Will it awaken and claim its due, or will it remain dormant, a threat forever lurking in the shadows? Prepare to be swept away in an epic saga where the fate of many hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the beast is far more complex than it seems. --- Content Warning: Features an unapologetically cynical and eccentric voice, including scenes of violence, offensive language, and moral ambiguity. May not be suitable for all readers.

All The Pretty Bones by RiriOnigirii

Some things are meant to stay buried. Lily Cruz never planned to rob a grave. She planned to survive. Between a scholarship that barely holds her place at an elite college, her little brother's rising medical bills, and the velvet-drenched club where she serves drinks to men who look through her, Lily is used to carrying more than she can hold. So when her best friend makes a reckless mistake in a cemetery and brings Lily into it, it's not curiosity that draws her back. It's desperation. The kind that makes you quiet your conscience. The kind that makes you look at the dead and wonder what they're worth. They only meant to go back for the cash. But the dead have their own way of settling debt. And now, something is watching. Waiting. And Lily, tangled in secrets and shame, is running out of time to decide who she is... and what she's willing to become to survive. With every breath, Lily feels the line between survival and sin begin to blur. And the worst part isn't what's coming for them. It's what they've already done. Because guilt can't be buried. And neither can he
