*Description:*


Welcome to The Halcyon - a luxury high-rise in Chicago where elegance meets silence.

When 24-year-old architect Cassie Lowell moves into apartment 1704, she expects a fresh start, not a psychological descent.

But something's off. The floor is eerily quiet, her smart keycard glitches, and her mirror doesn't always reflect reality.

Most disturbing of all?
The original blueprints show no 17th floor ever existed.

Cassie's questions lead her to secrets buried behind false walls, corrupted building files, and a digital paper trail that doesn't match reality.

The more she digs, the more she realizes - she isn't just a tenant. She's a subject.

And she was never meant to escape.

A tech-thriller meets psychological horror - where the scariest thing isn't ghosts... it's surveillance, silence, and control.All Rights Reserved

The Things We Couldn't Forget by Shelby_Painter

Growing up with a nickname like Misery can seem like the worst thing to happen to a girl. That is, until you find out that your father is a serial killer. Ten years after escaping the town that would never allow her to escape her father's dark shadow, Missouri Jacobs returns to Faulkner Montana with one mission in mind. She needs to settle her family's estates, then she can take that money and start a new life, maybe even with a new name, someplace no one knows her or the stories that surrounded her family. However, returning to her childhood home brings back all of the memories Missouri has been spending years trying to forget. And a chance run in with a boy she once loved with all of her heart makes not drowning in those memories over and over even harder. All set to leave, Missouri wants nothing more than to put Faulkner and everything that happened there truly in the past once and for all, but then... Another girl goes missing. Then another. Then another. Wrapped in a fog of déjà vu and separating the present from her past, Missouri is determined not to be blindsided this time. This new killer might be playing games with her, but this time, she's going to be the one to end this all, or she'll die trying.

Fault Lines by DubiousEnigma

Some cities collapse from earthquakes. Others from the quiet decay of truth. When a coordinated string of attacks shatters Philadelphia: a bus hijacking, a plane emergency, a string of unexplained disappearances, the city's façade of order crumbles overnight. Dr. Anthony Sloan, an ambitious surgeon at University Hospital, becomes an unlikely first responder, pulled into a web of survivors whose wounds don't add up. Detective Donnie Caldwell works cleanup for Arrow, a shadow program posing as public service, while his brother Drew wakes in a hospital with missing memories and a bottle marked Maintenance Dose 12E. And Maria Santos, a captive nurse on the outskirts of Hallowgate, discovers the truth behind her pregnancy: twin sons engineered for the same secret that's consuming the city. As chaos spreads, from the blood-soaked tarmac to the sterile corridors of medicine, these strangers edge closer to the same revelation: The violence here isn't random. It's research. In a world where biology and belief are weapons, Fault Lines cuts beneath the skin of progress itself; unearthing how far a system will go to perfect the human race... and how easily it can break the ones still trying to save it.

This gripping psychological mystery novel follows Margaret Stevens, once a celebrated TV star on national talk shows, now a mentor for women seeking new beginnings. When Margaret helps Lindsay Carter, a heartbroken thirty-three-year-old, secure job interviews in Chicago, she could never have imagined the tragedy that would unfold. Rejected from her interviews at Willis Tower and Chase Tower, Lindsay never even made it to her final meeting at the Hancock building. That same day, she vanished without a trace-never returning home. The mystery deepens as the Chicago police launch a formal investigation, but Margaret, overwhelmed by guilt, joins forces with Jack, Lindsay's brother-in-law, to uncover the truth. Set among Chicago's soaring skyscrapers, dizzying express elevators, and breathtaking skyline views, the story twists through a city of shadows and illusions. Mysterious appearances and disappearances unsettle even the most rational minds. Rose Carter, Lindsay's strong-willed mother, burns with anger, blaming Margaret for her daughter's fate. Where is Lindsay? Why does an image of the Titanic loom on the book's cover? In the towering heights of the Hancock building, amid a replica of a Titanic first-class suite on the 90th floor, secrets from another era await. There, a woman dressed as if she stepped from 1912 insists Lindsay has been "reborn" as her niece, Sabrina. As Margaret dives deeper, guided by the strange expertise of Dr. Clopesling in paranormal memory transfer, she faces an impossible question: Has Lindsay crossed into another reality shaped by grief, memory, and destiny? This haunting, atmospheric mystery explores the fragile boundaries between past and present, identity and loss. Prepare to lose yourself in a world where every elevator ride and every floor reached could lead to revelation-or disappearance.

Paranoia by LetAairaSleep

It started with a text. A number. A job that paid too much for doing nothing at all. All she had to do was live. Be watched. And never ask why. The cameras were set. The money came in. Silence was the only rule. But silence has a sound. And it follows her. Even now. People look familiar, but she's never met them. Her belongings shift when she's asleep. And sometimes... she sees faces in places no one should be. She ended the job. But the watchers never left. And the strangest part? No one remembers the company. Not even her friend who sent the text. There are no answers. Only eyes. Everywhere.
