The Ravenswood Reckoning
The town of Ravenswood has always had its secrets-whispers of disappearances, strange rituals, and a curse that binds the land in darkness. At the heart of it stands Ravenswood Estate, a decaying monument to a family whose legacy is written in blood. When Elias Ravenswood IV is found murdered in his own home-his body posed in a grotesque ritual, his lips sewn shut with golden thread-Detective Celeste Marlowe is called to unravel the mystery. A seasoned investigator with ghosts of her own, Celeste knows that some cases never truly end. As she steps into the shadowed halls of the Ravenswood Estate, she feels it instantly: this house is not just a crime scene. It's alive. And it's waiting. The deeper she digs, the more the walls seem to close in. The townspeople speak of a family curse, of a reckoning long overdue. The suspects-each with their own secrets-drip with guilt, but something far worse lurks beneath the surface. The clues don't just point to Elias's death; they lead Celeste back to a night long buried in her own past, a night she has no memory of... but one that has never forgotten her. As the bodies start to pile up, Celeste realizes she isn't just hunting a killer-she is part of the story, a thread in a tapestry of death woven long before she was born. Someone has been waiting for her to return. And they won't let her leave. In Ravenswood, the past never dies. It waits.Complete
Shadow Manor
Shadow Manor began as a story about a house that would not die, but it grew into something quieter: a meditation on how memory itself haunts us. Every mirror in the book is a small act of remembrance. What Elias and Lena fight isn't evil in the traditional sense-it's the echo of everything unfinished: promises, guilt, and love that refuses to fade. The curse breaks only when Elias learns to see the reflection not as an enemy but as a record of what he once was. Light, the opposite of shadow, doesn't destroy darkness-it defines it. That balance, fragile and human, is what keeps the world whole. If you close this book and glance at your own reflection, remember that it is never identical. It's a moment of light captured before it changes. And like Elias, we are all somewhere between the world we see and the one that remembers us.
Between The Walls
"It was supposed to be a fun week away at this luxury manor, but turns out to be a death trap for me and my friends. There was someone between the walls that knew the building very well and they wanted us all dead..." Violence and expletives. Use of gun and mentions of blood. Just a short story with short chapters, read it or notπComplete
