The Door Within-the kind of blurb that would stop someone dead in a bookstore aisle:

The Door Within
Ka-Push

Tyler Black Quinn thought his scars were just that-scars. Until they started to burn. Until strangers began whispering his name like a warning. Until the curses awoke.

Marked by seven ancient sigils and hunted by a Hollow-Eyed Man, Tyler is dragged into a mystery woven in blood, memory, and forgotten rituals. With only a cursed notebook and a fiercely loyal friend at his side, he must unravel the truth behind his family's darkest secrets-and survive the terrors they've passed down.

Each curse brings him closer to a door that doesn't exist in the world... but in him.

And behind it?

Something is waiting.
Watching.
Wanting out.

Unlock the fear. Step into the dark.
The door has always been within.

Wild Hearts by EffervescentElixir

Anxious. Alone. Afraid. Aiden Griffin never asked to be any of these things, but they define his existence, shaping every moment, ruining any chance for connections, and carving deeper into him with every passing day. His life is a quiet battle, one fought in solitude-lost in the woods, wandering through forgotten cemeteries, and navigating the decaying corners of an uncaring city. He's far from the world that's hurt him, but the words still haunt, sharp and unforgiving. Isolated by the cruelty of those around him, Aiden often feels like an outsider, his mind swirling with thoughts that others can't understand. His autism makes it harder to connect, leaving him drifting in the shadows, struggling to navigate a world that feels overwhelming and unkind. His parents are distant, and no one at school seems to notice that the golden boy everyone admires is the one person Aiden fears most. Then comes Ryder McCallum-charismatic, wild, and fearless. With a smile that could charm anyone and a penchant for adventure and bold risks, Ryder steps into Aiden's life like a whirlwind, challenging everything he's ever known. Ryder dares Aiden to step beyond the cage of his own fears, to be something more than the walls he's built around himself. But Aiden is wary, his heart too tethered to its darkness to trust the light Ryder brings. With every reckless adventure they embark on, Aiden starts to wonder if maybe, just maybe, he's meant for something more. As their friendship evolves into something more profound than either of them anticipated, Aiden finds himself drawn to Ryder, a boy as unpredictable as he is magnetic-a boy who slips away just as quickly as he arrives, leaving Aiden to question if he's chasing a dream. But no matter how elusive Ryder becomes, one thing remains undeniable: for the first time, Aiden feels alive with a love that makes him believe in something greater than himself, and he'll do whatever it takes to hold on.

Whispers in the Dark by Koine04

There are doors we aren't meant to open. Shadows we aren't meant to follow. Names we should never say out loud. This book is full of them. What you're holding is not just a collection of stories-it's a cabinet of whispers, a lantern lowered into places where the light doesn't reach. Inside, you'll find echoes of old folklore that refuse to die, modern horrors born from the glow of our own devices, and visions of futures that feel far too close to tomorrow. Some are short glimpses, sharp as a blade in the dark. Others sprawl long enough to trap you inside them. All of them are meant to unsettle. You may recognize some tales. The hitchhiker who never arrives at her destination. The children are singing a song no adult remembers. The figure at your window when you live twenty stories up. But here, the familiar turns feral. The safe stories you thought you knew will twist, growing teeth in the telling. Be warned: these stories are not designed for comfort. They're meant to crawl beneath your skin, to follow you after you've shut the book, to linger in the silence of your room when the night is at its deepest. Read them in daylight, if you must. But if you choose to read them in the dark, with only the sound of your own breathing for company-don't say you weren't warned when something in the quiet starts breathing back. Turn the page if you're ready. The stories are waiting. And some of them already know your name.

My Incubus (IncubusGhouls x FemReader) Ghost B.C. AU by literally-floppa

"Who are you?" she questioned the silence. It stayed silent for a moment. "I cannot tell you just yet. Good night Y/n." "Wait." "Make haste." She breathed, searching for a question this voice might just answer. "What are you to do with me if im not going to die? And what have you been doing to make plans for this... end result?" When a botched ritual goes wrong, a young woman finds out that mistakes can be dire. Whose to say demons don't REALLY exist?

The Last Bell by 760deep

St. Mary's School has been abandoned for decades... but its bell still rings at midnight. When four friends enter the ruins for a research project, they expect nothing more than dust, broken desks, and urban legends. But inside those decaying corridors, something watches them. Something that never left. Every classroom holds a secret. Every wall whispers a warning. And when the bell tolls, it demands new students. They thought they were writing a story. But the school had already written their ending. Some schools never let their students leave... alive. ---

The Devil's Game by Echoes_Of_Desire

Five friends. One cursed ritual. Midnight is the deadline. It started as a joke - a dare whispered through a forgotten website, a ritual no one believed was real. But when the clock struck twelve, something answered. Something that doesn't play fair. Now, the shadows are alive. Whispers crawl through the walls. One by one, they're disappearing... and only one will survive. Amara thought she was brave. She thought she could handle anything. But the Devil doesn't just want obedience - it wants fear. It wants control. And it will play until the last heartbeat. Will she survive the night... or become just another name on the list?

The Circle Below by swampymosquito

When Ethan Hale moves into an aging apartment building, he's looking for silence, for escape. Instead, he finds whispers in the pipes, the smell of burnt cedar, and knocks on his door at impossible hours. A rusted key appears in his possession - one he never owned, one that fits the lock to a basement sealed since 1974. Down there waits something Ethan thought he left behind: the ritual. The chanting. The circle. And Lucas, the friend he lost in fire and shadow. Each descent blurs the line between present and past, twisting reality until the walls themselves feel alive. Shadows move where light should be, the city hunts him after dark, and his own mind begins to fracture. The circle is patient. Eternal. And it's not just in the basement anymore. To break it, Ethan must face the truth about that night - and about himself - before the ritual completes... or claims him entirely. A slow-burning descent into psychological horror, The Circle Below blends supernatural dread with the suffocating weight of guilt, trauma, and inevitability. Perfect for fans of The Ritual, The Shining, and Hereditary.

⟡ Behind Closed Doors ⟡ by xspixoxo

In a quiet town wrapped in fog and secrets, something ancient stirs beneath the surface. When new blood enters a neighborhood already weighed down by silence, curiosity can become dangerous. Some doors are locked for a reason... and some truths are meant to stay buried. But for April, once she knocks-there's no turning back. ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ April had always been curious about the new boy named Gregory, who had moved into her neighborhood. He was quiet, always alone, with a stare that seemed too heavy for someone his age. Rumors began to spread-whispers of screams in the night and strange symbols drawn in red near the woods. Due to him not showing up to school regularly and having been acting quite strange, April's curiosity turned into obsession. Her dreams became disturbed, filled with flickering shadows and haunting whispers that spoke his name. Unexplained disappearances and brutal attacks from a mysterious creature started happening. Victims were found torn apart-no trace of the attacker, only claw marks and eerie silence. And April happened to be stalked by something lurking through the shadows. She soon discovers and is surprised to see who it is. A face she trusted. Having a rare condition... one hidden for generations. To consume blood flesh. 🩸 ⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧⟡𖤐⟡✧ ⚠ Content Warning: strong language, blood/gore, graphic violence, alcohol use, attempt of suicide, SA, and frightening scenes --- This story has a playlist **Listen on Spotify** ---

heathen:machine [Joshler AU] ✔ by youngvolgaynoes

Tyler is convicted of a crime that he doesn't believe that he did, and the weirdest part, that no one will tell him what it is. All he knows is that earlier that day, he was with Josh in their woods, the woods that held their tree house, and now he was in a jailhouse wearing an orange jumpsuit and blood on his hands. He befriends a boy with honestly way too much eyeliner, a quiet boy who was in an illegal relationship with another officer, and more boys who have done awful things that Tyler would never dream of doing. There's one thing that's not right, however - Josh is missing. And Tyler can't find him. Until one faithful day, he turns up. And then he just disappears. [Trigger warning: self harm, suicidal thoughts, schizophrenia, etc.]

My Quiet Heart Could Breathe:Before the silence by Zakieya_A

He came to this town with nothing but a name and the echo of people he can't bring back. Grief doesn't knock-it settles in. And when it did, it left him quiet. Numb. Watching the world go on like nothing cracked beneath his skin. Then came Tyler. Loud, chaotic, bright. The kind of person who doesn't ask permission to exist. The kind of person you'd follow without knowing why. He made things feel like maybe they could be okay. But this isn't the kind of story you think it is. It isn't about falling in love. It's about hiding it. About swallowing every word that might give you away. It's about watching someone save your life without knowing they're doing it. About pretending you're not breaking when you are. This is not a love story. It's the story of silence. Of surviving. Of what it costs to bury who you are, even from the person you need most. It's a confession written in the margins of pain. Read closely. Some truths are only heard when everything else goes quiet.
