The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

I'm messed up (Ticci Toby x Reader) by candace1dk

This was the second time you've had a staring contest with the dead. You can't bring yourself to look away as your breath catches in your throat. Breathing is a struggle, but you are barely paying attention to that as you see his body get dragged away. You continue to look straight on, where his body used to be. It takes a few moments before you hear someone approaching you, leaves crunching under its boots. You feel them kneel beside you, slowly moving the restrains. You're supposing that they're loosening them, or doing something, but you just look at the floor, where he once was. You're unable to rip your eyes away from the spot. Even as this person unties your legs from your arms. You can feel the soreness and rope burns from being held is such an awkward position for so long. You can feel your wounds more clearly now, crying in pain, begging to be attended to, but you stay in the same uncomfortable position, zoning out. You begin to dissociate from the situation quickly, blinking occasionally was the only thing you can do. You feel yourself being lifted bridal style, and your head finally turns to meet your rescuer. Maybe it was the shock of it all, or your dissociative mind, but when you see the mouth guard, and the goggles, all you can do is say "Hey Toby." In a raspy and grading voice, gently resting your head into his shoulder. He pauses for a moment, and twitches hard. "H-Hi (y/n)." He greets before walking off with you in his arms. - (Y/n) loses both her parents, and it's up to her to help raise her sister. What happens when all of a sudden she starts acting strange and distant? Who are these mysterious people showing up at your doorstep? Read to find out! ((BE AWARE THIS IS GOING TO BE A VERY LONG BOOK AND A SLOW BURN AT THAT)) This is a fem reader. I stg if one person asks me to make a GN or a male one I will. Just lmk

Whispers in the Walls by ShingCedj

They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.

Rose Petals - Eyeless Jack x Reader by Afflicted-Alibis

You always wanted a way out of town and away from the trauma of your every day life, but who knew it would come to you in a blue mask? Your life was certainly troubled. You had no parents- they were stripped away from you by a faceless thing in the woods one night when you were a small child. You had a troubled friend group. You had a stressful, mind-numbing minimum wage job. You had a broken home, completed by the drunken, careless uncle who had once promised to take care of you and your siblings. It made you want to disappear. The grey man dressed in black was a surprise to you after a chaotic night at home, and it was just his luck you even found him. However, what you thought to be a strange new friend was lethal and full of old horrors, and you soon come to find that he wants to be much more than just friends. (Cover art belongs to me!)

The Canavar by AuandAg

Who would name their town Hell's Center, and why are people vanishing without a trace from the place? Johnny sticks out worse than a Bears fan at Lambeau Field when he moves to the small rural town. Only black kid in an all-white community. Johnny and the few teens he manages to befriend think they know what's behind the disappearances - a haunted house. Officer Corbin tries to solve the disappearances, but he doesn't trust the new kid in town. Though he soon discovers everything the teens claim is true. Only the house isn't what they think it is. And somehow Johnny is the key. A unique stand-alone modern fantasy with a plot that slowly intensifies until it seems the world might end. Can a way be found to stop the canavar? This is a complete story, and I promise not to hang you out to dry. I will keep uploading chapters until it is finished even if there is only one reader reading it.
