drama horror thriller

In a town gripped by fear, a strict protocol and curfew are enforced to keep its residents safe from mysterious, deadly creatures that lurk in the dark. No one knows where these creatures came from, only that they kill indiscriminately, leaving only strange, crystalline fractals in their wake. Despite the danger, a rebellious teenager named Echo and her small group of friends decide to defy the rules one night, sneaking out to an abandoned spot on the outskirts of town.

Their thrill quickly turns to horror when a creature descends upon them, killing several of Echo's friends in a blur of violence. Echo soon realizes that the creature's blood has cursed her: anything she touches now fades into fractals and is gone forever. Left with a dangerous new power, she must learn to control her curse-or risk destroying everything and everyone she loves. Haunted by guilt and the loss of her friends, Echo sets out to uncover the origin of the creatures and find a way to reverse her deadly touch, even if it means facing the monsters again alone.All Rights Reserved

The Hollow Pact by reading4life27

When Ren Holloway, a fiercely independent and slightly chaotic high school junior, stumbles across a hidden ritual in the woods outside her sleepy town, she accidentally becomes bonded to a forgotten creature of the Veil - an ancient plane between life and death. Now cursed (or blessed?) with abilities no one should have - like glimpsing past traumas through touch, sensing when something isn't alive, and sometimes... speaking with things that shouldn't speak - Ren is caught in a centuries-old battle between supernatural forces that have been feeding off her town for generations. The pact is unstable. The creature wants freedom. And something else wants her dead before she figures out why the Veil is thinning - and who caused it. 🧍‍♀️ Main Character: Ren Holloway Personality: Hyper-observant, sarcastic under pressure, uses humor to deflect. Doesn't trust easily. Background: Lost her brother under mysterious circumstances years ago; she's been "the weird girl" ever since. No one believes her when she says the forest is wrong. Skills: Not magical, but freakishly good at puzzles, rituals, languages, and uncovering secrets. Flaws: Impulsive, emotionally repressed, tends to push people away to avoid being hurt. 🐚 The Entity: "The Hollow One" Ren calls it "Echo" (sarcastically at first, but it sticks). A shapeless, ancient being bound to her soul - once a guardian, now corrupted. Speaks in whispers only she can hear. Doesn't understand humanity but is curious about Ren. Not necessarily evil, but extremely morally gray. Feeds on fear and memory. Slowly begins to regain pieces of its identity through Ren's actions.

Going Nowhere Fast by StanjolinaWest

Life has never been easy for 16-year-old Billie. His dad is dead. His mom won't talk to him, and the people who he thought once cared for him are now desperately trying to ruin his life for revenge. Rumors of a conspiracy meant to destroy Billie's reputation start to flood his high school, and the only person who believes in his innocence is a total stranger who was watching him from the woods that day. 17-year-old Scarlet is bored with her life. Her overbearing parents try to contain her unpredictable behavior, but she is too curious and clever to not follow the things in life that catch her interests, and she has many. While executing a poorly thought out plan to investigate the town weirdo, she stumbles upon something much stranger: his awkward, emo next door neighbor. She saw what happened, and she saw what didn't happen. When she hears the accusations made against him, she takes it upon herself to free them both from their stupid, Washington town. (Odd number chapters are Billie's POV Even number chapters are Scarlet's POV) ----- This is my first story. I hope someone likes it. Okay. Thanks. ***Trigger warning ***: self harm, sexual assault

In Your Grasp by catzxare

Maddie has always been a mystery to everyone around her-quiet, distant, and unsettling. Though she keeps to herself, there's something about her that unnerves the people in her small town of Shell Bay. Pierre, a new student with a striking accent and a captivating presence, quickly finds himself drawn to her in a way that both terrifies and fascinates him. As Pierre and Maddie begin to form a connection, a darkness lingers beneath the surface. A killer is on the loose in their town, and the tension between everyone rises as paranoia sets in. When Pierre unknowingly witnesses a brutal act in an alleyway, he realizes the horrifying truth: the killer is someone he knows-Maddie. But instead of recoiling, Pierre is pulled deeper into her world. Her seductive nature, her cold charm, and the mystery surrounding her draw him in even further. Maddie, however, isn't just playing games. She has a deep, obsessive love for Pierre-a love so consuming that it slowly twists both of their lives beyond repair. As the bodies pile up and the town's fear escalates, Pierre becomes a pawn in Maddie's manipulation, unable to escape her grasp. His love for her turns into something darker, something suffocating. And when Maddie's true intentions are revealed, Pierre finds himself spiraling into a broken state, mindlessly following her every command, desperate to keep her by his side, no matter the cost. In a world where love is twisted and control reigns, the line between obsession and devotion blurs-until there's nothing left but each other, bound in a dark, unbreakable bond.

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name. by itzthatgirlchi11

Even the Stars Forgot Her Name She wasn't trying to disappear. It just started happening-one forgotten moment at a time. At seventeen, Haley feels like the world has quietly moved on without her. She goes to school, she comes home, she scrolls through life like it's happening to someone else. Her parents are always too busy, her old friends have new lives, and no one seems to notice how quiet she's become-or how much it hurts. She used to dream big. Now she just dreams of being seen. Then one night, in a haze of insomnia and scrolling, Haley finds an anonymous online forum where people share the things they're too scared to say out loud. And something about their pain-the raw honesty, the way it mirrors her own-pulls her in. As the nights stretch on and the stars stay silent, Haley starts to connect with others who feel like ghosts in their own lives. In their stories, she finds flickers of light. Maybe she isn't invisible. Maybe she isn't broken beyond repair. Maybe being lost doesn't mean you'll never be found. This is a quiet, aching story about loneliness, unseen pain, and the fight to remember who you are-especially when the world forgets.

Echo, Echo, Echo by ayeitsjustellie

⚠️ THERE WILL BE TRIGGERING THEMES SUCH AS SELF HARM, SUICIDE AND OVERDOSAGE, PLEASE ONLY READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!⚠️ Harsh words echo in the minds of those who are victim to their cruelty, just like adrenaline filled screams of achievement echo from the mountain tops. Echos cause a ripple effect when other people hear them, just like words and rumours do. Sometimes they're hard to ignore, and one can be tempted to say something back, to let someone else hear their echo, but, it's not always the right thing to do. Even echos have consequences. Those seemingly innocent shouts of triumph can be mistaken for something much, much darker. Just ask Rune Knight, he knows all about the repercussions of echos. (This is in the book cover) If only I could have you back for just a little while, then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to.

Though putting your life together is hard when you keep finding out people aren't who they say they are. Who could possibly help her keep her head above water? Someone she least expected? Could he be the one to save her, before it all becomes too much? Ryder didn't leave much falsehood to rumors. A complete playboy. He didn't have much he cared about in life anymore, at least, other than his friends. They were the only ones who knew his dark secrets, the mystery that hid in his eyes. That's the way he liked it, usually keeping to himself, not giving a shit what anyone thought about him. When Aria walks in his life, things get shaken up. Now, life starts getting a little more interesting.
