After the sudden death of her estranged father, a young woman inherits his crumbling, isolated mansion nestled deep in the fog-choked woods of New England. The house-an ancient, sprawling estate with rotting walls, endless hallways, and locked rooms that whisper-has been in her family for generations, each owner meeting a grisly end. As she attempts to settle the estate and uncover the truth behind her father's final days, she begins to experience nightmarish visions, voices in the walls, and waking dreams of her ancestors' violent pasts. She soon learns the house is not simply haunted-it is a vessel for a legion of demons bound by blood to her family line. Armed only with her father's cryptic journals, an occult grimoire hidden behind a false wall, and her own unraveling sanity, she must confront the horrors within the estate before the house consumes her soul like it did the others.All Rights Reserved

Taming the Familiar by CourtneyClark061

Much to her daughter's dismay, Alexa's mother has fallen in love with the idea of moving into a new house. To make matters worse, this particular building belonged to none other than her very own eccentric uncle that had recently passed away. The property was left in a state of chaos after he'd left, meaning the task of sorting through his possessions and cleaning the place up was left to them. Follow Alexa on a journey of discovery, learning about both herself and the black sheep of the family who used to own the house. It's one thing uncovering the disgusting hobbies her late uncle kept (a mixture of taxidermy, dissection, and ancient methods of torture), but when a series of mishaps leads to her inheriting something from the man she never could have dreamed up, it's up to her to make sense of the crazy situation.

Ghostly figures emerge from the darkness, reliving their tormented pasts, while malevolent forces lurk in every corner, eager to ensnare her in their grasp. Each room she enters reveals horrific truths-disappearances, madness, and a curse that has claimed generations of her family. As the boundary between the living and the dead blurs, Amelia must confront her deepest fears and the malevolence that binds her bloodline. Time slips away, and with each whisper growing louder, she realizes that her own sanity hangs in the balance. In a race against the encroaching darkness, Amelia must unravel the mysteries of the house before it consumes her entirely. Will she uncover the truth, or will she join the ranks of the lost souls trapped within its haunted walls? The answer lies in the shadows, where the whispers of the past beckon her closer to the brink of madness.
