Guided by her grandmother, a powerful witch, Iris hones her craft, bottling the dreams and nightmares she captures.

But strange occurrences start to unravel in their town-children go missing, and ghost stories and local legends multiply. As Iris and her friends delve into these eerie mysteries, Iris realizes that these "legends" might be real, especially when she returns home to find the dreams and nightmares she had collected released upon the town. With the fabric between reality and dreams unraveling, Iris must uncover who betrayed her and figure out why before their world is consumed by the dreams and nightmares she once tried to protect.

NOCTUARY: A journal of my dreams
What if your dreams weren't just dreams, but a second life you live every night? Be warned: what you read here could change the way you sleep forever. NOCTUARY is the logbook of that parallel life. It is not a collection of fantasies, but the raw-and at times terrifying-narrative of a soul that leaves its body each night to venture into the world. These are inexplicable chronicles of dreams: experiences in real places, with real people, and the strange ability to return to bed at will. But the return is never complete. The border between worlds is permeable, and something always seeps through. Each awakening is a race against forgetting: to decipher the last night's revelation or warning, to understand how it's possible to return not just with memories, but with proof. Sometimes, it's with a bit of real dust on your feet. These stories immerse you in a reality where the rules are broken and the questions become unsettling: What is consciousness when it can leave the body? And what is the real world when you can bring back fragments from another? After reading this, you will never sleep the same way again.

Uninvited
For the past two years, the only dreams George has had the pleasure of having were horrible, horrible nightmares. These nightmares always had five things in common. In every one, each and every person he cared about died in an excruciatingly painful way. In every one, George was tied up, and there were lacerations all across his chest that bled but didn't hurt. In every one, there was someone cackling in the background. In every one, there was something there. Something he could never remember the details of when he woke up. And lastly, that something would always lick his wounds slowly, savoring his blood and fear before whispering a promise in his ear. "I'll see you soon, Georgie."

Mark of the Wolf (mxm)
Alone. Naked. Cold. Covered in blood that is just as likely to be mine as someone else's. I don't know who I am, where I am, or what I'm running from. All I get are flashes, snippets of dark shadows, sneering faces. Pain always follows these nightmares, these memories. I was found, taken in, but I have no way of knowing if I only escaped the frying pan just to jump into the fire. I don't understand these people, these wolves. They don't understand me, either. Our words mean nothing to each other, they're no more than sounds. We use gestures, facial expressions, body language like the beasts we seem to be. I can only pray these beasts are not the same ones I'm running from. -This story has depictions of violence, depression, panic attacks, gore.

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Sins Of Thy Father {COMPLETED}
Five years have passed since the massacre at Westin Hills. Only two emerged from the nightmare - Raven and Michael - scarred but breathing. They've spent half a decade running from the shadows, suffocating the screams behind locked doors and fake smiles. But trauma doesn't fade. It festers. And nightmares don't die. They wait. Now, teens are dying in their sleep again - marked by the same grotesque brutality. Raven knows what this means. Who it means. Y/N is back. Once a man. Now a myth. Her biological father - the monster burned alive by vengeance and reborn through rage. A demon carved from injustice, fire, and bone. The thing that watches from behind closed eyes. As the body count rises, Raven and Michael are dragged back into the world they've tried so hard to escape: the dreamscape - Y/N's twisted kingdom, where the rules of reality dissolve and terror takes form. But this time, survival isn't enough. This time, it's personal. Because Raven isn't just running from Y/N. She's becoming him. His blood surges through her veins. His darkness whispers to her in sleep. And as the line between waking life and nightmare blurs, Raven must confront the legacy she never chose - and a truth far more terrifying than death: You can't kill what lives inside you. To end the nightmare, Raven will have to go deeper than ever before - into the fire, into her past, into herself. But some nightmares don't want to end. Some nightmares are inherited.Complete
