Everett Tornhill died three years ago. Living with it has been... complicated. 
Ever since that night, he's had a foot in two worlds, and a silent companion that refuses to let go. When darkness takes shape in people's lives-whispers, shadows, things that crawl out of emptiness-Everett finds himself drawn in, whether he wants to be or not.
But as he delves into his cases, he finds himself wrestling not just with strange entities, but with questions that linger far too close to his own fractured soul

26 parts Ongoing Mature
Ex-convict Nina Adler and resident cripple Elias Atkinson's lives turn into spiralling disarray for the second time after ten years. The cause? The death of a man presumed to be long gone, a body which only they can see. Nina Adler once had three homes - the house that belonged to her parents, her school, and the prison. But on the date of her release, she had none. On that very night, she sees the body from her nightmares - the man she supposedly killed. Only, he had died ten years ago. Elias Atkinson had many titles - accountant, charmer, occasionally cripple, but there were few that only he knew of; embezzler and chronic debtor. On one dreadful night, he saw the body of a dead man and another girl escaping the scene. Both are given the chance of a lifetime; to travel back in time and change past events. To identify the real killer and stop him, to save an innocent man from death, in turn, erasing Nina's acquaintance with the prison. Meanwhile, Elias is promised a future without his handicap if the job is done right. Mayhem will be unleashed in the realm of the past and Nina and Elias must ensure that they are not reduced to the prisoners of past. Book Cover and Banner by @AngeBlancRose

"Never enter a graveyard." That is the phrase Deductive Logico heard his entire life. Even more so than "stranger danger" or "brush your teeth." And sure, wandering alone unsupervised is not the best idea, but the reasoning everyone gave him? Ghosts. He never believed in ghosts, or anything supernatural for that matter. You live, you die, you decompose, and that is it. As someone who has been solving murders for the past year or so, it was a hard truth he had to face. Sure, this put him at odds with his rival: the esoteric Inspector Irratino, but nothing could convince him otherwise. So... what happens when things stop adding up? What happens when twenty years' worth of secrets start to unravel? What happens when nobody can see what he's experienced? Logico finds himself with information he should have no way of knowing, and even the basics of the world he lives in are thrown into question. Irratino has one last case for the deductive to solve... Can he do it?

It Knows Your Name (finished) by TyleenBarker
64 parts Ongoing Mature
Some monsters hide under your bed. This one lives under your skin. For Maggie Caldwell, life was already teetering on the edge. A struggling single mother with two kids and a past she can't outrun, she thought her worst battles were behind her-until the night something inhuman latched onto her family. It starts small: a shadow that shouldn't move, whispers bleeding through the walls, her children waking up screaming with words they shouldn't know. But this is no ghost. It's something older, hungrier. And it doesn't just haunt-it burrows. As the creature digs deeper, feeding on her fears and regrets, Maggie must confront the secrets she's buried and the choices she never wanted to make. The closer she gets to the truth, the tighter its grip becomes. It wants her. It knows her. And if Maggie doesn't fight back, it'll consume everything-her sanity, her family, and the last scraps of her soul. But how do you kill a monster that already knows all your darkest thoughts? Gripping, visceral, and unrelenting, "It Knows Your Name" will drag you to the edge of fear and leave you questioning the shadows in your own mind. (Don't forget to ⭐️ give chapters a star if it gave you chills, and hit the follow button so you don't miss a beat! New chapters drop every Friday-stay tuned for what's coming next... the darkness has only just begun. 👀 )
