The Lake's Shadow

They say the lake is cursed, a dark mirror to the past that never forgives. For generations, the small, superstitious town has whispered the same warning: never swim in its waters past midnight. But when 17-year-old Lila Montgomery dares to break the sacred rule, she emerges forever changed.

What begins as an act of rebellion soon unravels a chilling truth-beneath the lake's placid surface lies a vengeful spirit tethered to the sins of the town's ancestors. Shadows grow bolder, whispers fill the silence, and the boundary between life and death begins to blur. As Lila races to break the curse, she must confront betrayal, sacrifice, and the haunting legacy of Elara, the ghostly figure whose pain fuels the lake's hunger.

With time slipping away, Lila and her unlikely allies-a loyal friend harboring a secret, a skeptical rival, and an eccentric storyteller-embark on a harrowing journey to unearth the lake's darkest secrets. But when faced with the ultimate choice, how much will Lila sacrifice to save herself-and at what cost?

The Lake's Shadow is a heart-pounding tale of forbidden curiosity, unbreakable bonds, and the chilling price of redemption. Some whispers are better left unheard, and some waters, undisturbed. But once you dive in, the lake never lets you go.All Rights Reserved

shadow's bargain by Blackduskm1dnight

Lila Ashbourne never believed in the supernatural. Raised in a family haunted by secrets and a past stained by tragedy, she's spent years running from the shadows that plague her bloodline. But when an enigmatic package arrives, containing one of her late father's journals, Lila is drawn back to Blackwood Hollow-a place she thought she had escaped forever. In the decaying mansion where her family's curse began, she discovers that the past is far from dead. And someone-or something-has been waiting for her return. Damien Blackthorn, the infamous heir to the Blackthorn curse, is a man of shadows and sin. With a bloodline bound to an ancient and malevolent entity, Damien has spent his life seeking redemption-or at least a way to break free from the shackles of his cursed existence. He's no stranger to darkness, but when he crosses paths with Lila, he finds himself tangled in something far more dangerous than the ghosts of his past. Their families are connected by more than fate-they share a blood debt to the same powerful force that has tormented them both. As Lila unravels the truth behind her family's curse, she finds herself at the mercy of a man whose love is as destructive as it is consuming. Torn between his cold indifference and his growing obsession, Lila must decide if she can trust Damien-or if her connection to him will only pull her deeper into the shadows. In a world where loyalty is tested, secrets lurk in every corner, and love is both a curse and a blessing, Lila and Damien are forced to confront their darkest desires. Can they break free from the chains of their bloodlines before it's too late? Or will their love consume them both in a deadly bargain with the very forces that have shaped their fates?

It Knows Your Name (finished) by TyleenBarker

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.
