Welcome to Marrow Park, a once-famous theme park now shrouded in mystery and whispers of disappearing visitors. But the nightmares don't end when the gates close - they're just getting started.

Three strangers. Three haunted locations. One dark secret.

Damon Clarke, a night guard with a past darker than the shadows he patrols.

Tasha Kimura, a high-score queen trapped in an arcade where games play her.

Elian Trace, a mysterious captive in a secret facility, burdened with memories that aren't fully his own.

Bound by fragmented memories and a shared connection to the Marionette Engine, an experimental AI program designed to capture human emotion - but twisted by fear and trauma.

When the park's horrifying animatronics awaken, each reflecting broken souls trapped inside machines, the trio is forced to confront the truth: the Hollow Carnival isn't just a place. It's a prison.

Now, they must unravel the terrifying mystery behind the Hollow King - a monstrous fusion of their worst fears - before the park consumes them all.

The carnival's final show is about to begin.

Can they survive the laughter?

Or will they become part of the show forever?All Rights Reserved

The Hollow Jester by WhenYouPlayFire

A once-renowned circus performer, Zane the Clown, is cursed with an unsettling emptiness: his soul is gone, stolen by an ancient, malevolent force. Unaware of how or why it happened, Zane's existence has become a hollow echo of what it once was. His laughter rings false, his joy feigned, and his performances, though technically flawless, lack the heart and warmth that once defined his art. Now, as the circus falls into decline and his audience grows restless, Zane learns of an ancient legend - a way to reclaim his stolen soul. But the path to redemption is fraught with dangerous trials and mysterious figures, including a secretive ringmaster with dark ties to the supernatural, and a mischievous trickster who seems to know far more than he lets on. With every step toward rediscovering his soul, Zane is forced to confront the fractured parts of his forgotten self - his lost memories, buried regrets, and the question of whether he even wants to reclaim the man he once was. Along the way, he uncovers the truth about his curse: it wasn't just his soul that was taken, but also a piece of his humanity. To get it back, Zane will need to face the very thing he fears the most - the darkness inside himself. As the clock ticks toward his inevitable demise, Zane must ask: Can a soulless clown truly find redemption, or is he doomed to remain a hollow jester forever?

𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐥𝐥. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐠𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐭. ~ For five years, Evelyn turned up missing. Locked at the bottom of an endless void of water in a metal safe. Trapped in a coma of her own. Though she returns, nothing in her life is the same. Her family has vanished without a trace. The home she has spent more torturous yet joyful moments in, the closest thing to home, destroyed and left in rubble. Her best friends, her brother, her own daughter, missing without so much as a trail. No one left to help her, console her, tell her everything will be okay. Within the span of five months, Evelyn has managed to rise back to her feet, but she's dropped her old life. Temporarily. Changing her hair style, and name, she's confided in people eligible to help her. But per usual, she's ultimately bound to making enemies. Creating a new enemy was not on her agenda, especially not one that she is agreeing to marry. After getting into a situation she can't seem to get herself out of, she is forced to stay in the same house as someone she hates as much as he hates her. But as time drags on, the line between love and hate seems to blur. Forcing herself to focus on her main objective, she attempts to limit as much time with him as possible. But living in the same house, despite its rather large build, she's bound to run into him by chance. Evelyn will do anything to save her family, as they had done many occasions before-for her. Even if it means destroying her own happiness in the process. {MATURE LANGUAGE} TW -Violence -Rape/sexual assault -Kidnapping -Drugs -Gore/torture -Suicide thoughts/attempt

Hunted by JaideHarley

**COMPLETED*** This is book 2 and can be read as a standalone but I recommend you read "Fated" first. Something caught my eye and when I looked up in the mirror I saw Rykan stepping inside, shutting the door and sliding the lock in place. My heart hammered in my chest as he approached me. He came right up behind me, setting his hands on my hips, never breaking our gaze through the mirror. "Kora," he murmured, stepping closer until my back brushed against his chest. His hand slid down to the end of my skirt and he flattened his palm against my bare leg, sliding his hand up my skirt. "I'm married," I blurted, swallowing hard and trying to ignore how much I liked the way it felt having his hands on me. "Hm," he grunted, narrowing his eyes as he continued his ascension up my outer thigh. His touch sent tingles all over my body, sending heat right between my legs. He gripped my leg and suddenly turned me, his hand now palming my ass as he pulled me against him, his teeth scraping against my neck as his other hand up to my neck. "Didn't seem to bother you when you had me down your throat last night," he said, wrapping his hand around my throat and lifting his head to give me one of those heart-stopping stares. "In fact, I believe you started that, angel." Koralie always felt that there was a part of herself missing. A part she hadn't yet discovered. Stuck in a toxic marriage, she's navigating her way out of it when she meets Rykan, a mysterious stranger she feels an undeniable draw towards although she isn't sure why. Things become even more intense when he starts showing up in her dreams, claiming he is a werewolf and they are mates. An even more unexpected turn of events comes when Kora starts looking into the supernatural world and finds it is not as foreign to her as it should be. Warning: This story contains very mature themes including brief mentions of abuse, mature language, mental health and sexual content.

Midnight Bound by his_angel1926

In a world where darkness lurks just beyond the veil of normalcy, and centuries-old secrets shape the fate of cities, one human girl discovers that love doesn't always come in the light. Evelyn Hart is an ordinary twenty-three-year-old librarian in the small town of Hollow Creek-a place where time seems to stand still, nestled among dense forests and hidden rivers. Life for Evelyn has always been quiet, simple, even a little lonely. That is, until the night she meets a man with eyes darker than obsidian, skin cold as marble, and a voice that seems to echo through the ages. Lucien D'Aragon is anything but ordinary. Born in the 14th century and cursed with immortality, he walks the earth as a vampire-an unwilling predator who has long abandoned hope of love or redemption. That is, until Evelyn's kindness stirs something in him he thought long dead: his heart. When Evelyn saves Lucien from a near-fatal ambush by vampire hunters, she has no idea that her life is about to be turned upside down. She soon learns that vampires are real, the world is darker than she ever imagined, and that her own blood may carry a rare gift-one that could unite the fractured vampire clans... or destroy them all. Their love is intoxicating, dangerous, and forbidden. But the deeper Evelyn falls, the more she's pulled into the violent politics of the immortal world. As secrets unfold and enemies close in, Evelyn and Lucien must face impossible choices-between survival and sacrifice, light and shadow, destiny and desire. Will their love survive the ancient laws written in blood? Or will fate tear them apart forever? "Midnight Bound" is a tale of love that defies time, trust forged in fire, and passion that burns eternal. A sweeping romantic fantasy for fans of slow-burn tension, forbidden love, and vampires who ache to be more than monsters.

Bound To The Demon Prince Of Erendale | 18+ by Nef_3rtiti

⚠️WARNING: MATURE AUDIENCE ONLY.🔞 "You're mine, Witch." His voice hardened. "Your life that I saved? The one that would've been WASTED if I hadn't acted? Belongs to ME. And you will do only as I please, exactly as I say, until-" "Over my dead body!" I hissed, suddenly filled with anger. "That can be arranged," Hans said easily. Then with a smile that was anything but pleasant: "Or you can steal for me instead. Kill for me, if I tell you to. Either way, you stay where I can see you. Night and day." "I'm no puppet." I held his silver gaze with a glare. "And I'm definitely no murderer." "No, but you're a thief. One that's now forever indebted to me." ~•|•~ She steals power. This time, she stole the wrong one. ~•|•~ The Black Market of Erendale runs on the trade of magic ripped from its owners and sold to the highest bidder. Eclipse knows the game. As a Siphoner, a rare witch who can drain abilities with a touch, she survives by robbing the powerful and selling to the even more powerful... until she accidentally takes the essence of Hans de la Mort, the demon of Erendale himself. Crossing him should mean death. Instead, he offers her a deal: she'll return his power when the time is right, and until then, she and her siphoning abilities belong to him. She was his prisoner. His prey. And dangerously, the one who made his demon want to play. Every job she's forced to do pulls them closer to danger-and closer to each other. But when Eclipse uncovers a plot to overthrow him, she's faced with an impossible choice: return his power and lose the only leverage keeping her alive... or keep it, and risk losing everything. Including him.
