The town of Black Hollow has always had its secrets. None more terrifying than the ruins of Hollow Burrow House-a place whispered about in fear, a place that doesn't appear on any map. When four strangers-Mara, Eli, Jonah, and Vivian-are drawn there by different threads of fate, they uncover something far worse than local ghost stories.
The Burrow is alive. It shifts and twists, feeding on memories, shaping itself from fear. Within its walls, time warps, faces change, and those who enter are never truly seen again. As they delve deeper, the group realizes the house is not haunted-it is hunting.
Trapped inside, with the past bleeding into the present, they must unravel the truth of what Hollow Burrow is, who built it, and why it refuses to be forgotten. But the more they learn, the more it takes from them. If they don't escape before the Burrow consumes them completely, they'll become part of it forever.
To destroy the Burrow, they must let go of everything they know-even themselves. But if no one remembers the Burrow... did it ever really exist?

Whispered Shadows
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.Complete
