Some bloodlines are blessings. Others are bargains.
Maya returns to Crossroads Hollow for her grandmother's funeral-and inherits more than a house.
The walls knock. The air thickens.
And in her grandmother's journal:
"Don't open the locked door. It's not to keep you out-it's to keep it in."
A haunting tale of generational curses, ancestral pacts, and the price of protection. As Maya unravels her family's secrets, she finds herself in the grip of a spiritual debt-one tied to Hollow Walkers, conjure spirits, and a man made of smoke who only comes when blood is offered.
Southern Gothic. Spiritual horror. Black folklore.
For readers who love stories whispered by firelight and soaked in ritual.

The Shattered One
This is an original work, so if you plan to offer something, don't. She woke up fractured, wrong, and forgotten. The world she once knew is gone, twisted by a cataclysm known only as The Fade. Now, forests breathe, light drips like water, and creatures mimic human voices with uncanny precision. Time bends in impossible ways, and raw emotion manifests into monsters. Nothing is natural. Everything watches. In this new, devouring world, a lake calls to her. The sky whispers her name. Something ancient stirs-something that remembers what she once was, before she was broken and buried. As she journeys through the remnants of a shattered reality, hunted by the very fabric of emotion, she begins to uncover the truth of her origin and the role she was meant to play in a world unmade. But some secrets are buried for a reason. And in The Fade, even your feelings can kill you.
NIGHT SHIVERS: The Town That Doesn't Let You Leave
For siblings Alex and Maya, it was supposed to be a simple road trip to their grandparents' house-one last taste of freedom for Alex before university, one last boring car ride for Maya. But when their car dies on a lonely, forgotten B-road with no phone signal, their journey takes a terrifying detour. Their only hope is a quaint village on an old wooden sign: Havenwood. At first, it seems like a miracle-a picture-perfect town of cobblestone streets and friendly, welcoming locals, a peaceful haven untouched by the modern world. But the perfection is a mask. The welcome is a little too wide, the smiles a little too fixed. And the entire valley is shrouded in an unnatural, deathly silence. Their attempts to leave are futile. Every road out of Havenwood mysteriously loops back to the town square, a disorienting, impossible trap. With no way to contact the outside world, a chilling realization dawns: their breakdown wasn't an accident, it was an invitation. The townspeople are not hosts; they are keepers. And they have a simple, terrifying message: once you arrive in Havenwood, you are welcome to stay. Forever. The true horror of Havenwood isn't its roads, but its insidious influence. The town has a way of making you forget-your home, your memories, the person you used to be. As Alex finds himself seduced by the town's placid, stress-free existence, his own identity beginning to fray, it falls to Maya to be the anchor for their past. She must fight against a creeping mental fog that threatens to erase them completely and turn them into another pair of smiling, empty-eyed residents. To escape, they must uncover the ancient secret at the heart of the town's idyllic facade. But how do you escape a prison that convinces you it's a paradise? And if they manage to break free, what parts of themselves will they be forced to leave behind?Concluida

House Of Okeli
There were rules in Hexvalle. Unspoken ones. Ancient ones. The kind whispered by wind through moss-draped oaks and carved into the bones of the land itself. Most folks forgot them until something remembered them first. It started again on a Tuesday. The moon bled red, like an old wound reopening in the sky. Birds fell silent. The Okeli family garden was lush and overgrown but it burst into bloom far too early, every flower opening at once like mouths gasping for breath. And in the cemetery at the edge of town, Uche Okeli's tomb cracked open from the inside. No one heard the sound except Ms. Curtis, humming low in her garden, whispering to basil and bloodroot like they were kin. "They coming back," she murmured, eyes fogged but not blind. "Not ghosts, not ghouls. Somethin' older." She placed her palms into the dirt and felt it tremble. The wards were thinning. The veil was pulling taut. And this time, the dead weren't coming alone.Concluida
