The Holloway Inn is a quiet place, but not in the peaceful sense. Its walls have witnessed generations of guests-each one more forgettable than the last. No one ever stays long enough to make an impression, and no one ever truly leaves.

Miss Stanton arrives on a stormy evening, seeking nothing more than a quiet refuge from the world. But the inn's unsettling stillness, its subtle shifts and strange happenings, quickly reveal that the place is no ordinary hotel. The owner, a cold and enigmatic figure, watches her closely, as if waiting for something. And he's not the only one.

Other guests linger in the background: a businessman with a secret, a writer who's lost touch with reality, a couple who can't remember how they arrived. Each one carries their own mysteries, their own personal burdens-and, like Miss Stanton, they are all trapped by the inn's sinister force. The rooms hold more than just furniture; they hold pieces of broken lives, pieces of people who have vanished without a trace, only to become part of the inn's dark history.

As Miss Stanton delves deeper into the inn's secrets, she uncovers the terrifying truth: the Holloway Inn doesn't just steal lives-it absorbs them, turning its guests into permanent fixtures within its haunted walls. And as time warps and blends, she realizes that her fate is already sealed. She's not the first to try to escape, and she won't be the last.

Whispered Shadows by Laconie1975
20 parts Complete Mature
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.

The Doe Identity

25 parts Complete Mature

When the spirit of a comatose man shows up in front of her, Alexis Howard is determined to help him find his identity. Little does she know, she's about to get sucked into a world of secrets, lies, and murder. *** Alexis Howard can see the dead. A gift that has done her more harm than good. Having been forced to move into a strange small town because of it, Alexis vows to cut all contact with the world of the dead. It's easy at first, especially since there don't seem to be any ghosts in Casa Nova. That is until a comatose patient of hers shows up as one. No, he's not dead. He's just semi-dead. And he has no idea who he is. Oh, and the police think he's a cold-blooded criminal who's involved in the disappearance of a 17-year-old girl. Believing otherwise, Alexis decides to help the spirit find his identity and becomes embroiled in the search for the missing girl. Her investigation also leads to a meeting with a peculiar cat, who seems to be much older than she looks. Just what exactly is the connection between the three? What kind of a cat gets shot and shows up without so much as a scratch a few days later? More importantly, who is John Doe?
