When five women wake up in an eerie, dilapidated psychiatric ward with no memory of how they got there, they are told they're part of an experimental treatment program for dissociative identity disorder. The ward is isolated, the staff are cryptic, and the patients' sessions reveal troubling gaps in their memories. At night, each woman begins hearing disembodied voices whispering fragments of their pasts-secrets they don't recall but feel deeply connected to.
As paranoia sets in, the women form an uneasy alliance to uncover the truth about their condition and the ward's sinister nature. Strange phenomena escalate: objects move on their own, time seems to warp, and the staff vanish one by one. The women discover they are not separate individuals but fragmented pieces of the same person's shattered psyche, trapped in a supernatural limbo.
Their prison is the mind of a comatose woman named Evelyn, who lies on the brink of death after a violent trauma. A malevolent spirit, feeding on Evelyn's fractured soul, has imprisoned them to keep her from regaining consciousness. To escape, the women must confront their darkest truths and merge into one complete self. But as they work to heal Evelyn's mind, the spirit grows stronger, determined to claim her body as a vessel.
In a race against time, the women must decide: face the pain of their pasts and risk obliteration, or remain trapped forever in the ward, their torment feeding the darkness.

Echoes of Her Screams
When five women receive mysterious letters beckoning them back to the ruins of their childhood town, they are drawn into a nightmare where past and present collide. In this psychological horror novel, Iris, Mira, Samara, Celeste, and Olivia must confront more than just a decaying town-they must battle the dark fragments of memories long suppressed. The town they return to is not as it once was. Shrouded in unnatural fog and permeated by a stillness that defies explanation, every crumbling building and warped mirror hints at a sinister legacy. As the women begin to piece together clues from a forgotten research project, they discover the horrifying truth: they were once unwitting subjects in a series of clandestine psychological experiments. Distorted recollections, unexplained gaps in time, and spectral whispers blur the boundaries of reality and memory, drawing them ever closer to the heart of a malevolent force. "Echoes of Her Screams" is a descent into a world where the real terror lies in the mind. The novel masterfully weaves an atmosphere of creeping dread and existential despair, challenging its protagonists (and its readers) to face a reality that is as maddening as it is inexplicable. In the labyrinth of their haunted pasts, the women find that reclaiming their forgotten selves might be the only way to silence the echoes that scream in the darkness. This description sets the stage for a story that is as atmospheric as it is intense-a tale for readers who revel in psychological horror and the mysteries of the human spirit.Complete
L.O.V.E.
100 years ago, amidst WW3's nuclear bombing, a deadly virus was released in the atmosphere and nearly wiping out the humanity. It lives inside the human brain thriving on the empathy receptors, leading to irrational behaviour and ultimately brain death. To slow the damage, scientists created L.O.V.E, short for Living Off Vital Emotions, a nanovaccine that numbs the virus and switches off all strong emotions. As a last resort and with a dying planet, the Supreme Government created the City, a place to contain the infected survivors suitable for the experiment. Those in the first stages of illness became ideal candidates to receive the neuroinhibitor. Having their feelings restrained and their memory altered, those who come of age are designated a life partner through a Selection process, thus preserving the humankind. A few decades after the trial had started, scientists had a major breakthrough. The nanites, which are highly chemically reactive organisms, are changing their bio-engineered purpose when dopamine levels are high. With a new generation of nanoids, stronger and smarter to fight the battle, the virus doesn't have a chance. Many attempts were made to create a man-made version of synthetic dopamine and each time the outcome was a disaster. Their goal is to create new generations, immune to the virus. These are called Purebloods, the offsprings of those who find pure love, the only cure to save them from a violent death. Running out of time, the Experiment entered in its final stages. To minimize the threats, the Colonies have sent their best soldiers to oversee the trial and protect its key subjects. If only things were going according to plan, or better...stay hidden. With Iron Guard, the resistance outside the walls, hunting the Purebloods too, will the trial save human race before it's too late? #3 in #dystopianfuture (27.06.2020)Complete
