On November 28th, 1980, the Nordhoff Ranger football and cheer teams disappeared on their way to a game near Bakersfield. For eight weeks, a nationwide search was underway. For eight weeks, there were no suspects, no evidence, and no motives. They simply vanished without a trace. 

Detectives Marcus Reyes and Hank Lopez awaken one morning to a call coming in from Frazier Park, one hundred miles away, of hikers making a disturbing discovery along a trail. What they will find there will send them down a hole darker than they could ever dream of. One that will lead them to a revelation that will uproot their understanding of the world and the universe at large.

Wives' Murder Club by 1-800-Smackabitxh
10 parts Ongoing Mature
The dates match. Everything added up. How could I not realize it? The bodies. The charges. The gossip. The rumours. The accuracy. The deaths. Every single body went missing. They were right, I should have listened. I knew something was weird, but not this bad. Church on Sundays, book club on Mondays, Bible study on Wednesdays, their kids' games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Charity donations on Fridays, and dates on Saturdays. I guess its true what they say. The biggest monsters don't hide in the darkness of your closet. Instead, they smile in your face in broad daylight. The worst demons don't conceal themselves in your shadow. They thrive in the light. The darkest souls own the brightest smiles. A light so captive, you don't even realize they've gotten so close. Don't even realize when you've befriended them and their darkness has touched you. So, Sometimes, to find the ugliest monster, you have to look in the mirror. P.S, the tags should serve as a warning as well. This story is my own, which means I own the characters, plot, etc. However, I did get some inspiration from James Patterson's WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB, just with a slight twist ;)

The Friedman Files: The Sisikawja Case by DanteAdhman
17 parts Complete Mature
This story? Absolute nightmare fuel. And it's only for the bravest of you out there. If you're into those predictable, formulaic horror stories, trust me, this ain't it. My name is Josh Friedman, and my goals are simple enough: survive, protect the people I care about, and figure out what in God's name happened to the reality I thought I knew. I am a survivor of a town that an F5 tornado ripped apart, and now I'm living in this mysterious little village in Wisconsin. People here whisper about dark rumors of ancient evils, the ones that are legends and hopefully remain so.... Hopefully. If you've made it this far, kudos. Or maybe just a heads-up. This series will not disappoint.
