Deep in the remote hollers of Appalachian West Virginia, the McBride family lives in near-isolation, clinging to their land and legacy like their ancestors before them. Generations of hardship have forged them tough and close-knit, bound by blood, secrets, and the rhythms of the mountains. But when the family matriarch, Alma McBride, begins speaking in tongues and carving strange symbols into the trees, something ancient stirs in the surrounding woods - something that has waited lifetimes to be remembered.

As animals vanish, the forest falls silent, and the youngest child begins sleepwalking deep into the hills, it becomes clear: the McBrides are being hunted. Not by man, not by beast - but by something older than both. Something that knows their names. Something tied to a buried piece of family history no one dares speak of.

With the isolation of winter closing in and the nearest town miles away, the family must confront their own fractured past to survive. As the unseen force tightens its grip, each McBride is faced with a terrible question: is the evil outside their home... or already inside it?

A chilling blend of Southern Gothic and supernatural horror, Hollowbone explores the weight of generational trauma, the mythic power of folklore, and the price of silence in a place where the land never forgets.

39 bab Lengkap
[Complete] "He follows me around like a predator seeking a moment of weakness before he takes down his prey. But his eyes are soft and tell me a different story." Eighteen-year-old Zara is a born and raised African-American city girl. She's always seen the mountains in the distance, but never once set foot in them--until she wakes up one night in the middle of them with a raging thunderstorm overhead and no memory of how she got there. As if her situation couldn't be more terrifying, she finds a wolf staring back at her in the darkness. Just when she thinks she's about to become his next meal, she discovers that he is not what he seems. Despite her weaknesses and limitations in the wilderness, their journey together becomes a test of trust. But when Zara learns the truth, she's not ready to accept it. --- **You will not find the following werewolf clichés here: alpha's my mate, mate rejected me, abused MC, or super-special-rare white wolf.** An adventure that develops into an interracial romance. Ages 12+ PRAISE FOR ZARA'S WOLF: "I absolutely love it. It has a uniqueness that I haven't seen before." - LJSummers "This was amazing. One of the best werewolf stories I've read." - foodlovr09 "I sat here biting my fingernails as I read... This is simply gut wrenching!!! ...And I'm not a fan of wolf books either... But THIS!!! Zara's Wolf is incredible!!!" - Somerlea "Zara's Wolf is an enthralling rollercoaster that not only serves as one of the best werewolf novels on Wattpad, but one of the best books of all time! The main protagonist is a wonderful character who makes you feel involved in her own way. This is a fantastic debut to what could be a fantastic series." - BradfordAuthor13

In 1600s Virginia, a small colonial village sprang up unceremoniously on the sacred burial grounds of the Native American people it was taken from, the Nottoway. Now, an ancient evil has been awakened in the form of Elementals known as The Bird People and it is suspected that the Nottoway Tribe has cursed the ground in revenge for being encroached upon by colonial settlers. After failed crops, still births, deaths, burnt homes and facing starvation, superstitions run rampant and the townspeople do the only thing they can think of in the late 1600s to appease these angry and destructive spirits. Give them an offering. It is quietly decided by the elders of the community, in an effort to keep these spirits of the bird people at bay, that every woman should give up her first born infant daughter to them.

In order to keep her only child, a daughter, she makes a baby out of straw and gives that instead, bringing chaos to their puritan village. A cursed girl. The man who loves her. A questionable death.

A genderqueer hillbilly and a haunted woman must break a generational curse that has entwined their lives in the abandoned coal-stripped mountains of the Pennsylvania Wilds. *** Desperate to flee a dark past, Finley drives off a cliff and prays to the ancient hemlocks below to catch her fall. But in the abandoned hollows of the Pennsylvania Wilds, everything comes at a price. Tasked by an undead Not-Deer, Finley must find the three talismans that mark the mountain's boundaries in order to break a century old curse, one that has not only haunted the women in her family for generations, but has also bound the supernatural beings to the mountain, including the dead. Fortunately, the handsome genderqueer hillbilly up the road, River Hawthorne, is just as eager [maybe too eager] to break the curse. Together, they navigate the woods where hungry trees walk and other demonic haunts roam, growing closer every moment. But breaking the curse also comes at a price and Finley must decide what freedom is worth when her past comes crawling back through the woods to haunt her.

Grief can open doors the living were never meant to find. After losing her brother, Elowen Anderson thought the worst was behind her. But grief doesn't rest, it lingers, it listens. There's a threat. It's patient, and it has it's set on a target...Her Visions bleed into reality. Memories that aren't hers claw their way into her mind. A forgotten man-Dionys Kaltheris, a soul twisted by betrayal and agony-reaches for her through the cracks of time. Yet the more she learns of his pain, the harder it becomes to tell who the true monster is, the hollow spirit that haunts her, or the world that made him. As the veil between the living and the dead begins to tear, Elowen discovers that the restless are not alone. Spirits roam the earth-some lost, others consumed by vengeance-and from beneath them rise the Demons of the Underworld, the architects of suffering who keep souls chained to despair. Drawn into a war she never chose, Elowen must decide whether to fight for the living, to save herself and her loved ones-or to understand the dead. Her path will cross fear, grief, a soulless spirit that has his eyes on her, her brother reaching out from the afterlife itself, memories that aren't hers, spirit exorcists, fractured loyalties, and truths too heavy to bear. And when the time comes, she'll learn that some salvation demands sacrifice.
