In the quiet town of Hollow Pines, a brutal killing shatters the silence, leaving behind only one clue-the victim's eyes, filled with unnatural darkness. Detective Elara Vey and a reluctant witness are drawn to an abandoned house at the edge of the pines, where whispers, scratched-out faces, and a single child's photograph hint at something far more sinister than murder.

As footsteps echo above them and laughter slips through the shadows, they realize they are not alone. Every secret, every clue, drags them deeper into a chilling game of deception where the killer is always closer than they think.

And in the end, one truth waits to be uncovered:
the person you fear in the dark... may be the one standing right beside you.All Rights Reserved

The whisper by Scriptscribe22112

The Whisper A psychological horror novel After a tragic accident that shattered her family, 17-year-old Elara Voss is sent to the quiet town of Hollow's End - a place that promises healing, but hides whispers of something darker. As she unpacks dusty memories in an old creaking house, Elara begins seeing her younger sister Clara - the one everyone says is dead. Is Clara a ghost, a hallucination... or something else entirely? Haunted by visions, strange voices, and a presence in the mirror that mimics her every move, Elara must navigate a reality that shifts and breaks beneath her feet. With only the help of a mysterious boy named Maeve - who may not be entirely real himself - Elara uncovers secrets buried deep in the walls of Hollow's End, and in her own mind. But some truths are more terrifying than lies. And some whispers should never be heard.

The Medium by CjArcher

Seventeen year-old spirit medium Emily Chambers has a problem. Actually, she has several. As if seeing dead people isn't a big enough social disadvantage, she also has to contend with an escaped demon and a handsome ghost with a secret past. And then there's the question of her parentage. Being born an entire year after her father's death (yes, a year) and without the pale skin of other respectable English ladies, Emily is as much a mystery as the dead boy assigned to her. Jacob Beaufort's spirit has been unable to crossover since his death several months ago. It might have something to do with the fact he was murdered. Or it might not. All he knows is, he has been assigned by the Otherworld's administrators to a girl named Emily. A girl who can see and touch him. A girl who released a shape-shifting demon into the mortal realm. Together they must send the demon back before it wreaks havoc on London. It should be a simple assignment, but they soon learn there's nothing simple when a live girl and a dead boy fall in love. THE MEDIUM is the first book in the Emily Chambers Spirit Medium trilogy. Yes, that's *trilogy* - meaning not everything will be wrapped up nicely at the end of The Medium. There are 2 more books after it, both of which are published. Check out my website for details.
