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.

The Silent Shadows от Chercher246
12 Части Завершенная история
In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. 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. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. 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. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. 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.

Whispers in the Dark: Part One - Strange Beginnings In the mist-veiled town of Blackthorn, where forgotten folklore lingers like smoke, 19-year-old Sarah's nightmares blaze into terrifying reality. 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 dreams seep into her waking world-ethereal voices slithering through silence, reflections haunted by lurking silhouettes, and the relentless chill of unseen eyes- a storm unleashes an enigmatic stranger into her life. Tall and brooding, with eyes like storm clouds and an aura that flickers lights and stirs the air, he enters her dusty bookstore seeking tales of the town's cursed history. Their fleeting touch ignites a jolt of icy fire through her veins, binding her fate to his. Whispers ripple through Blackthorn: a nameless wanderer at the inn, drawing shadows like moths to flame. Her fiery best friend Lily urges caution, sensing danger in his wake, while the wise librarian unveils chilling truths-ancient powers stirring, shadows that hunt the marked, and Sarah ensnared at the epicenter. As the stranger's gaze pierces the night from darkened corners, Sarah realizes the flames aren't mere dreams. Something primordial hungers for her soul, and the veil between terror and truth is crumbling. Will she outrun the whisper... or become its echo? A gripping supernatural horror thriller laced with psychological dread, small-town secrets, and the inescapable pull of destiny.

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.
