The Professor's Captive -Book 1 by DjMaine0

The Claimed by Mentally-Insane

They said the Hunt was sacred. That if I was chosen, it meant fate. But fate didn't feel like a mouth on my skin or claws at my back. It felt like blood. Mine. For years, I stayed hidden. Quiet. Unclaimed. I stole seeds from the state fields, grew food in secret, fed my family from soil and silence. I did everything right - stayed beneath their radar, beneath their noses. I didn't make waves. I didn't ask for more. But monsters never forget a scent. And when the Hunt came, I was scented. Tracked. Taken. I stabbed him. I buried the blade in his shoulder and watched him bleed. It didn't matter. Because he still bit me. And the world saw. Now my face is on every screen. The girl who didn't run. The girl who fought back. Some call me a rebel. Some call me a mate. But they all forget one thing. I wasn't made to be claimed. I was made to survive. And if they want to collar me, cage me, crown me - they'll have to reckon with everything I've kept buried beneath the roots. Because I am not the flower. I'm the fire beneath it.

The Egg by NoaOrn

In the heart of the desert, a forgotten antenna begins to vibrate. No one else hears it. Except her. An echo repeats through frequencies that shouldn't exist. It doesn't carry voices. It doesn't carry data. It carries something older than any language. And it's growing. On the other side of the world, someone takes note. And someone else... prepares a response. A conspiratorial science fiction novel filled with mystery, impossible signals, and a truth not everyone is ready to face. It begins with a sound. It ends with a choice.

MADHOUSE by ItZunarxy

Welcome to the Red Ward, where madness is not a diagnosis... But a symphony. Seven patients. Seven hells. A nurse with gentle hands. And a hospital that does not heal... It devours. ⚠ Beware! ⚠ Here, the sane scream in silence, and the sick kiss with knives. Do you want to save them, Kang? They want to save you too... In their own way. Enjoy the reading... After all, you'll end up just like them.

Symptoms of Insanity by uneametroublee

Nine individuals, spanning generations, are haunted by a sinister force known only as Insanity-an entity that is neither man nor woman, neither loud nor silent, neither real nor imaginary. It exists beyond time and space, with a single purpose: to claim those destined to be found, twisting their minds into an endless, inescapable wilderness. Trapped in this torment, these nine souls must rely on one another to overcome the entity's grip. But as Insanity tests their sense of direction and strength, the question remains-will they rise and reclaim their rightful thrones, or will they falter, kneeling before their own crowns, forever enslaved to the thief of their destiny?

Echoes of a Forgotten Curse by MagnoliaIsabella

In the shadowy depths of an ancient forest lies a cursed village long erased from maps and memory. Whispers of its haunting echo across centuries, unraveling a sinister tale of betrayal, forbidden love, and a malevolent force that refuses to rest. When young archaeologist Lena stumbles upon an enigmatic artifact during a routine excavation, she inadvertently awakens a dormant curse that binds her fate to a mystery older than time itself. What begins as a curious investigation quickly spirals into a chilling descent into the unknown. Lena must navigate a labyrinth of cryptic clues, spectral apparitions, and harrowing truths as she unravels the secrets of a forgotten past. The closer she gets to uncovering the truth, the stronger the curse's grip tightens-threatening not only her life but the very fabric of reality. Each chapter peels back layers of a world teetering between the mortal and the supernatural, where every shadow hides a secret, and every sound is a ghostly reminder of the curse that lingers. Will Lena be able to break the cycle of terror, or will she become just another whisper in the echoes of a forgotten curse? Brace yourself for a story that will chill your soul, haunt your dreams, and leave you yearning for more with each twist and turn. Are you ready to face the echoes?

Unnamed Lie by MLourhzal

A chilling descent into guilt and fractured identity, where a survivor's mind unravels in the aftermath of tragedy. Haunted by visions, whispers, and figures that blur memory and madness, he discovers the most terrifying lie is the one he told himself. In the silence between breaths, the truth waits-unseen, undeniable, and finally inescapable.

The House That Whispers by beingillusionist

It wasn't supposed to be a rescue. It wasn't even supposed to be real. A drunken dare. A reckless chase. A twisted game. Harry and his friends entered the house with one thought-to take what wasn't theirs. But the moment they crossed the threshold, the game turned against them. The doors locked. The walls shifted. Their desires became chains, their laughter swallowed by silence. At first, they thought it was a man-a monster lurking in the dark, toying with them. But the deeper they went, the more the truth clawed at their sanity. The house was alive. And it wanted them to suffer. Time unraveled. Lust turned to regret. Hunger turned to madness. Their mistakes tightened like a noose, and soon, Harry found himself losing more than just his way. He was losing them. And the house was still watching. Because no one leaves until it is done with them. The House That Whispers

The Sylo by HamiltonHousehorrors

Behind the locked doors of the Hamilton Asylum for Cognitive Renewal, healing is promised. Sanity is guaranteed. But every cure has a cost. When psychiatric nurse Isla Delgado begins reviewing patient files with the asylum's flawless AI system, she discovers stories of obsession, delusion, and madness-each more disturbing than the last. Yet as she guides us through these cases, contradictions surface. Memories fracture. Timelines blur. The truth refuses to stay buried. What begins as clinical documentation spirals into a descent through unreliable memory, unanswered questions, and unexplainable horrors. And the deeper the files go, the clearer it becomes: Nurse Isla's story may be the most terrifying case of all. Because some minds need more... ...and some minds cannot be saved.
