horror mentallyunstable psychological yaoi

When Aiden moves into a forgotten apartment at the edge of the city, he's only looking for silence, a place to start over. But the silence hides something else. Something waiting.
In a flea market filled with discarded things, Aiden finds a tall, narrow mirror carved with strange symbols. The vendor's warning "It doesn't reflect what you think it does" sticks in his mind long after he brings it home.
At first, it's only small details: a delayed blink, a reflection that feels too aware. But soon, Aiden realizes the figure in the glass isn't him at all. It's something that watches, learns, and wants to cross over.
As the boundaries between reflection and reality start to dissolve, Aiden is forced to confront a truth that warps both logic and sanity, one that binds his loneliness to the presence in the mirror, until neither can exist without the other.
A psychological horror that slips between reality and delusion, The Man from the Mirror explores isolation, obsession, and the quiet terror of seeing yourself smile when you shouldn't be.All Rights Reserved

Behind the Screen by VolleyballAnimeLover

The book follows a protagonist whose mind begins to unravel as they are plagued by eerie occurrences that blur the line between reality and delusion. It begins with subtle shifts-a feeling of being watched, strange reflections, whispers at the edges of perception-but as the story unfolds, these sensations grow more intense and impossible to ignore. The protagonist starts questioning their own sanity, struggling to differentiate between what's real and what's in their head. Is someone-or something-watching them, or are they simply losing their grip on reality? As they spiral deeper into paranoia, the boundaries of their own identity begin to fracture, and they realize they may not be the only one in control of their mind. With each passing day, the tension grows, and the truth becomes harder to discern. The story keeps readers on edge, with unreliable narration and distorted imagery that makes them question everything. As the protagonist's mental state deteriorates, the lines between the observer and the observed blur, and the final revelation leaves the reader wondering if they're trapped in this madness alongside the character. A chilling psychological thriller, this book explores the nature of reality, self-awareness, and the terrifying idea that what you think you know may be nothing more than a reflection of something far darker.

Crimson Logic by darker_glamor

When logic falters, desire answers. L doesn't dream-until the night he sees a kiss in a room bathed in red. The next morning, you arrive at the Kira investigation. A criminal profiler with a past you won't explain, and insights far too perfect. As the line between suspicion and obsession blurs, so does the boundary between right and wrong. A kiss happens. Then another. Truth fragments. Trust cracks. And justice becomes personal. In a world ruled by reason, one variable refuses to be solved. You. Was it love? Was it manipulation? Was it both? One of you walks away. The other never stops searching for the answer. Even if it haunts him forever.

From The Other Side by aphoenix22

A fateful night left behind six brutally murdered young corpses and a once peaceful bucolic town crushed. With time, the people slowly recovered from the shocking incident. Everybody moved on and forgot about the horrific bloodshed at the Madsen estate that would forever remain a mystery. But Oliver could never. Even after seven years of continuous therapy, he still found himself tied to his deep trauma and a debilitating case of catoptrophobia. In order to maintain his fragile sanity, all mirrors have been banished from his sight, and all reflecting surfaces covered. He spends his secluded existence in an eternal monotone. Until, on another fateful night, he is forced to face his fears. A new cycle has begun, and whatever was the cause of those boys' demises seven years ago is back in town, and out on the hunt. No one is safe anymore. [ONC 2020 - Qualifier from Rounds One and Two] [ONC 2020 - Longlister] [ONC 2020 - Shortlister]

Petals Of Vengeance by KJMyers800

In a modern city cloaked in wealth and silence, Medusa lives under the name Zena, hiding her mythic identity behind enchanted contact lenses and a quiet life as an artifact restoration specialist at a prestigious museum. Her hands mend broken relics, but her soul remains cold-scarred by betrayal, centuries of exile, and the cruelty of men. By night, she becomes something else. Her serpents awaken, her eyes burn with ancient fury. When she gazes upon a rapist, he doesn't just turn to stone-he crumbles into dust, erased from existence. No body. No evidence. No trace. Only silence. Only justice. Her targets are chosen by Lina, a survivor Medusa once saved. Lina is now a criminology student by day and works as a digital ghost by night, infiltrating encrypted forums and survivor networks to identify predators who hide behind power and privilege, through their digital software called SerpentSight. Together, they form a secret alliance-vengeance delivered in whispers. Then comes Alex-a demisexual visual artist with a shattered heart. Years ago, Alex was manipulated and emotionally abused. Now, Alex paints in solitude, exploring myth and memory, trying to reclaim his life. He meets Zena at the museum during an artist residency. Their connection is slow, built on shared silences, mutual respect, and the ache of survival. Alex senses something ancient in Zena-something dangerous, but also deeply human. As their bond deepens, Lina uncovers a predator embedded in the art world: a powerful gallery owner running a female human trafficking ring, using art shows as a front to exploit vulnerable women. Survivors are silenced, sold, and erased. Medusa must decide: strike again and risk losing her humanity, or let Alex help her rewrite the narrative through art, truth, and rebellion.

Fifteen and fading by ShaileyWilson

At just fifteen, Layla grows up in a house too full of people and not enough love. The walls shake from arguments, fists hit harder than words, and the scent of weed fills the air like a constant reminder that escape is the only way to breathe. She's the quiet one holding everyone together while trying not to fall apart. Then she meets Aiden, an older boy who seems like peace in the middle of her storm. He listens, he understands, and for a moment she believes she's finally found something real. But when he says he's not ready for a relationship, her world crumbles. The one person she thought saw her disappears, and she's left fighting her own mind the urge to cut, the feeling of numbness, the weight of being invisible in a house full of chaos. This is a story about growing up too fast, learning to survive heartbreak, and finding a reason to keep living when everything feels hopeless.

Behind the Glass by MANOBALA

In the heart of a bustling city, Maya lives alone in a sleek, high-tech apartment filled with automated comforts. But what begins as harmless convenience soon turns into a nightmare. Her smart mirror - once a tool for self-care - starts to behave oddly. At first, it lags... then it watches. Night after night, her reflection smiles at the wrong time, mimics gestures before she moves, and whispers secrets she never shared. As the days pass, Maya's sense of reality crumbles. Her friends receive messages she never sent. Her memories feel altered. The mirror, silent and unforgiving, begins to pull her closer, feeding on her loneliness and fear. Maya discovers that behind the glass is another version of herself - one that knows her deepest thoughts and desires, one that hungers to take her place. Now, trapped in her own home, Maya must confront the terrifying truth: sometimes, what's behind the glass is more dangerous than what's in front of it. Will she escape, or will her reflection become her reality?

His Puppet (Scaramouche x Reader) by Nikkitiie

She was his beautiful puppet, a living breathing doll that followed his commands. Well atleast that's what she assumed he thought she was when he employed her. But he was right about one thing, she did follow his commands without question. She could be his ticket out, his way into a new life he could spend with only her... So what if he had to control her and lie a little to get their happy ending. ------------------------------ -Hopefully updated at least once a week. (decided this will be around 20 chapters long because I have a big original book idea for scara im working on after, but for right now my full attention is on finishing this book ☺️) -Smut, plus sexual themes in a lot of chapters -This will divulge from canon plot and canon personalities a bit! I find it boring when stories are just the same with the only difference being the romance! So expect something different~ -And I hope you enjoy! <3.
