A Nightmare On Elm Street 4: Ashes Of Springwood
"You can bury the past. But it always claws its way back." Springwood is healing... or pretending to. It's been three years since the blood-soaked end of Raven Marlowe and her adoptive father, Greg. Their deaths marked the close of a dark, unspoken chapter in the town's history-one whispered about but never truly acknowledged. Now, a new family has moved into the hollowed bones of that history. Malik Vaughn and his family think they've found a fresh start on Elm Street. But the house Malik now calls home once belonged to Raven. And its walls remember. Soon, the calm is shattered. Teenagers are dying again-gruesome, unexplainable deaths that all happen in their sleep. Panic builds beneath the surface of the quiet town, and retired detective James Maxwell is pulled back into the nightmare he thought he escaped. The deeper he investigates, the clearer it becomes: something long-buried is beginning to stir. As Malik's dreams bleed into waking life-vivid, violent, and increasingly real-he begins to question everything around him. His friends, his sanity, even himself. And when they uncover the name Y/N, the truth hits harder than any nightmare: Springwood's evil was never destroyed. It was dormant. Now it's hungry. And it wants everything. A new generation. An old evil. And this time... The nightmare won't wait for sleep.Complete
A Nightmare On Elm Street 2: Resurgence {COMPLETED}
Evil doesn't need a door... it only needs a mind. After narrowly surviving the horrors of Y/N's rampage, Raven Marlowe is committed to Westin Hills Psychiatric Hospital, a facility known for housing the most psychologically damaged and trauma-afflicted patients in Springwood. Diagnosed with PTSD, Schizophrenia disorder, insomnia-induced psychosis, and delusional trauma bonding, Raven is told her nightmares are just symptoms. But in the dark, locked corridors of Westin Hills, dreams are becoming deadly again. When patients begin dying in their sleep under impossible circumstances, whispers spread through the wards of a burned man with no face, of screams no one else hears, and of memories no one remembers. As the line between dream and reality dissolves, Raven is drawn into a terrifying web of paranoia, shared hallucinations, and sleep-induced horror. Something is hunting inside their minds-and it's spreading. Her doctors believe she's unstable. The other patients fear her. But Raven knows the truth: Y/N L/N is back. And now, he's not just inside her nightmares-he's using the entire hospital as his hunting ground. Inside Westin Hills, sleep is a death sentence. Trust is a trap. And the past isn't just alive-it's waiting for you in your dreams.Complete

A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Sins Of Thy Father {COMPLETED}
Five years have passed since the massacre at Westin Hills. Only two emerged from the nightmare - Raven and Michael - scarred but breathing. They've spent half a decade running from the shadows, suffocating the screams behind locked doors and fake smiles. But trauma doesn't fade. It festers. And nightmares don't die. They wait. Now, teens are dying in their sleep again - marked by the same grotesque brutality. Raven knows what this means. Who it means. Y/N is back. Once a man. Now a myth. Her biological father - the monster burned alive by vengeance and reborn through rage. A demon carved from injustice, fire, and bone. The thing that watches from behind closed eyes. As the body count rises, Raven and Michael are dragged back into the world they've tried so hard to escape: the dreamscape - Y/N's twisted kingdom, where the rules of reality dissolve and terror takes form. But this time, survival isn't enough. This time, it's personal. Because Raven isn't just running from Y/N. She's becoming him. His blood surges through her veins. His darkness whispers to her in sleep. And as the line between waking life and nightmare blurs, Raven must confront the legacy she never chose - and a truth far more terrifying than death: You can't kill what lives inside you. To end the nightmare, Raven will have to go deeper than ever before - into the fire, into her past, into herself. But some nightmares don't want to end. Some nightmares are inherited.Complete

Henry Everwood has lived in Hallows' Grove his entire life amongst superstitious townspeople. Despite his patient denial of the rumours circulating his practices, Henry is indeed the witch people fear him to be, though he hardly uses his magic for anything more than his cooking and housecleaning.

Edward appears in Henry's house with no memory of his living life, his family, or his last name. Henry prepares to send him back to the howlite path, a trail of magic stones that leads ghosts to their afterlife, when a terrible memory resurfaces-Edward had been murdered. Not only that, but Henry and Edward quickly discover that Edward is alive only when he's touching Henry. With unanswered questions from both ends, Henry accepts to help Edward look into his murder, why the connection between them is so strong, and reveal whether or not the new blonde woman in town and her brother know more about magic than they're letting on. But what happens when Henry and Edward start to fall for each other? What happens when Henry's long-kept family secret is uncovered? It is, after all, as Mr. Cross, the cranky old town librarian, had warned-terrible things happen when you involve an Everwood.Complete
