Eldermoor is a town that hides its past in whispers, where shadows linger longer than they should, and silence carries secrets no one dares to speak aloud. When 17-year-old Ellie Harper moves into the town's oldest house with her mom, she's desperate for a fresh start. But the house seems alive-its walls breathe, its floorboards whisper, and every shadow feels like it's watching.

Ellie soon learns of a chilling legend: a malevolent entity known only as The Shadow that feeds on fear and despair, claiming souls who dare to uncover its secrets. As she begins to unravel the history of Eldermoor, she discovers her family's unsettling connection to the darkness and an ancient curse tied to her home.

With the help of Caleb, a local boy burdened by his family's tragic past, and the cryptic warnings of their mysterious neighbor, Mrs. Fenton, Ellie must face her deepest fears. The closer she gets to the truth, the stronger The Shadow grows, twisting reality and turning friend into foe.

But the stakes are more than just survival-Ellie must decide whether to confront the shadows beneath or risk becoming one of them.

This gripping horror story blends suspense, mystery, and psychological terror, pulling readers into a tale where the line between reality and nightmare blurs with every flickering light.

Emmy's life is going just as she'd planned: She's living in her own apartment, dancing every day and is just leaps away from being named her company's next Prima ballerina. And she's only 17. But all of Emmy's plans come to a screeching halt when the FBI shows up at her door to let her know that she's being stalked by a serial killer. Suddenly, the safe, insulated world she created for herself is riddled with violence, fear...and a growing pile of dead bodies. At first Emmy wants nothing more than to forget her chilling new reality - but her admirer isn't finished with her yet, and before she knows it, Emmy's stuck in a nightmare she can't dance her way out of. Content and/or trigger warning: This story contains detailed scenes of murder, rape, torture, sex and stalking, which may be triggering for some readers. [[word count: 80,000-90,000 words]]
