The storm raged on, its howling wind clawing at the Cartwright mansion like a living thing. Clara stood at the crumbling threshold, her breath caught in her throat as the towering structure loomed before her. The mansion was more ruin than home now, its once-pristine facade weathered and scarred. Empty windows glared down like unblinking eyes, shrouded in shadow and silence, daring her to enter. The air carried a chill that seemed to seep into her bones, heavy with the weight of secrets long buried.

Inside, the house felt alive-its groaning floorboards and whispering drafts filled the suffocating quiet. Clara's steps echoed as she moved through the decaying halls, each creak a reminder that this place had once been vibrant, alive. Now it was a crypt for memories she couldn't escape.

Vivienne's fragile voice pierced the oppressive stillness. The grieving mother led Clara to a door she had never dared approach before. At the end of a dark corridor, it loomed, its wood scarred and its brass handle tarnished. "This room," Vivienne whispered, her voice trembling with fear, "is where it began."

Clara's heart pounded as her fingers brushed the icy door, knowing that whatever lay beyond would reveal truths darker than she'd ever imagined.

Cass has no memories of her parents, only impossible dreams of waves and orcas and, sometimes, her mother's voice. When she and her adopted aunt return to the Pacific Northwest island--where her parents died twelve years before--Cass hopes the place will trigger long-buried memories. Instead, she discovers that the impossible is real, and that history is about to repeat itself. Unless she can stop it. ***Teaser*** The water hit with such a shock of cold that Cass thought she was going to pedal up and out of it again like some cartoon character. Instead, she flailed and splashed and smashed one arm against a piling as salt water poured into her raincoat & filled her shoes. "How do you like it?" Jason yelled. She spun until she could make out his form, black against gray sky. "What?" she sputtered. She dragged one arm from the water long enough to shove wet hair from her face. Jason became clearer: black hair dark above his yellow raincoat, arms crossed over his chest. "What the hell are you talking about?" "I asked how you like it, going for a swim in this water." She was open-mouthed with disbelief. It was a bad idea; a surge lifted her and slapped salt water into her mouth. Bile burned her throat as she coughed and all the while she was still flailing at the water, fighting the drag of shoes and clothes to keep afloat. She should kick them off-that's what you were supposed to do if you fell into the ocean with your clothes on-but she was only a dozen feet from the dock. Besides, it was her only coat. Jason watched her the way she'd watch a barracuda. "I know you're following me." "Following you?" What. The. Hell. She gave a mighty kick and tossed her coat onto the dock. Jason just stood there. "I nearly drowned last week, you know that? Now you show up as if nothing happened." "Last week," Cass said slowly, "I was in Argentina." Whatever he'd seen, it wasn't her.

The Hawthorne Estate, infamous for its tragic history and eerie rumors, seems like the perfect destination for Amanda, the group's thrill-seeker. But what begins as an innocent getaway quickly turns into a descent into terror. As they explore the mansion, the friends discover that the house is far more than just a crumbling relic. Locked doors, shadowy figures, and disembodied whispers hint at a sinister presence lurking within the walls. An old journal reveals a chilling tale of a vengeful spirit trapped in the house after a botched ritual centuries ago. One by one, the mansion begins to unravel their minds, exposing their fears, secrets, and weaknesses. Strange phenomena escalate, and the friends soon realize they are not just visitors-they are prisoners. The house seems alive, manipulating time and space, ensuring no escape. Tensions rise as the group fractures under the weight of paranoia and supernatural interference. When one of them disappears, the survivors must unravel the mansion's dark secrets before it claims them all. Their only chance at survival lies behind a locked door in the basement, where the origin of the curse-and the malevolent force-awaits.

The spirit's wrath is unrelenting, and the friends must decide whether to fight or succumb to the darkness.

Years ago, a group of close friends ventured into the secluded Black Hollow Cabin for a weekend getaway. What started as laughter and camaraderie quickly turned into a nightmare when one of them, Emma, vanished without a trace, leaving behind only whispered warnings and shadowy figures lurking in the dark. Stricken with guilt and fear, the remaining friends fled, swearing never to speak of that night again. Now, years later, the past refuses to stay buried. Maya, one of the surviving friends, receives an unsettling invitation to a reunion at the same cabin on Halloween night. Against her better judgment, she joins the gathering, hoping for answers but dreading what she might uncover. As the group reunites, old tensions surface, and eerie occurrences begin: shadows that move without light, whispers that echo in empty rooms, and unsettling reminders of the night Emma disappeared. When one of the friends goes missing under similar circumstances, the group realizes they are being hunted by a malevolent force tied to their betrayal. With secrets unraveling and the shadows closing in, Maya and her friends must confront the truth about what really happened that fateful night. But the deeper they dig, the clearer it becomes: someone-or something-knows their darkest sins and won't stop until justice is served. In "Whispered Shadows," betrayal isn't the only thing that lingers. Whispers of vengeance echo through the night, and shadows of the past may be their undoing.
