On the rugged coast of Greyharbor, the fog rolls in thick and alive. Locals whisper about the old lighthouse, abandoned for decades, and the lanterns that sometimes flicker across the water when no ships are near.

When seventeen-year-old Kai arrives in town, he doesn't expect to care about old sailor tales. But the night he hears his name whispered from the mist, everything changes. Together with Ezra, the guarded boy who knows more than he says, and Marina, whose family has watched the sea for generations, Kai is drawn into a mystery that blurs the line between life and death.

The deeper they search, the more they uncover about the Lantern Keepers... watchers of the sea bound by an ancient oath. Something in the fog is calling to Kai. And if he answers, it might claim more than just his soul.

A haunting blend of mystery, supernatural suspense, and coastal folklore, The Lantern Keepers is a story of secrets, loyalty, and the light we cling to when darkness closes in.Все права сохранены

People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago.

When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers.

As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

The Lighthouse's Reflection || HONORABLE MENTION от FoxLock34

🏆ONC 2025 HONORABLE MENTION 🏆 A lone lighthouse keeper watches over the coast, tending to her light as the sea rages beyond. The storms are nothing new-neither is the solitude. She is content with the quiet rhythm of her life, the crash of waves against the cliffs, the scent of salt and parchment filling her days. But when a shipwreck leaves a battered stranger at her doorstep, the tide of her world begins to shift. The man is rough-edged, a relic of salt and shadow, with secrets hidden beneath his scars. He speaks of a past that the waves should have swallowed, of maps inked in the margins of forbidden books, of love letters lost to time. Trapped together by a storm that refuses to pass, they share stories by lantern light-one seeking refuge, the other searching for something long forgotten. Yet not all ghosts are content to stay buried, and not all storms end when the sky clears. Whispers of war linger in the distance, and the truth he carries may threaten the safe harbor she has built for herself. As the past and present begin to intertwine, she must decide-will she cling to the safety of her lighthouse, or will she risk everything to follow the reflection of something new? -- Cover by @Heuristic_Hashmath

Ava moves back to her hometown after the sudden death of her father, a local fisherman who vanished at sea under suspicious circumstances. As Ava sorts through her father's belongings, she uncovers cryptic journals detailing his obsessive research into a centuries-old maritime legend: The Drowned Woman of Greyshore Cove. Local folklore claims the "Drowned Woman" was a healer who cursed the town before being falsely accused of witchcraft and executed. Since then, every decade, a storm claims the life of a fisherman from the community. When another storm approaches, Ava notices eerie patterns connecting her father's death to other disappearances. She suspects foul play but faces skepticism from the townsfolk, who dismiss her findings as a product of her "quirky" tendencies and the town's love of tall tales.

Consumed by visions of infernos that devour everything in their path, she confronts a towering, faceless shadow that whispers her name-leaving behind a searing, pulsing mark on her wrist that defies explanation.

As the stranger's gaze pierces the night from darkened corners, Sarah realizes the flames aren't mere dreams.

Black Hollow от Alphagod

In the fog-shrouded town of Black Hollow, Thomas Gray arrives to investigate strange radio signals and mysterious disappearances. He quickly discovers that the lighthouse, once a beacon for ships, is a conduit connecting the town to ancient, intelligent entities beneath the sea-watchers who are patient, calculating, and vast beyond comprehension. Thomas forms an uneasy alliance with his estranged sister Margaret, researcher Ellie Shaw, and Deputy Sam Keller. Together, they uncover the town's dark secrets: Reverend Pike hypnotizes the townsfolk, Sheriff Moore hides evidence, and Haldane's decades-old experiments have inadvertently awakened the watchers. As the storm intensifies, the watchers rise, colossal forms pulsing beneath the waves. The town marches toward the cliffs, entranced by the failing lighthouse, while Thomas and his group struggle to sever the beacon that maintains the connection. Betrayal fractures loyalties-some townsfolk join Pike and Moore, aligning with the watchers' influence-but the group persists. In a desperate final stand, Thomas and his allies destroy the central node, extinguishing the beacon. The storm temporarily abates, the town begins to recover, and the watchers retreat beneath the ocean. Yet, the story closes on a haunting note: the watchers remain, patient and eternal, waiting for the next cycle. Black Hollow is a suspenseful, atmospheric novella blending cosmic horror, small-town mystery, and human betrayal. It explores courage under supernatural pressure, the consequences of obsession, and the terrifying patience of entities beyond human comprehension.
