abandoned books hidden house

"It was one of these stores you find once in a while, in a backstreet or a narrow alleyway. One little oasis of solemnity in the chaos of a bustling metropolis. A tiny, weird museum for itself, where the piled books reach to the ceiling, where little treasures are hidden between stacks of old paper, where the wooden shelves are studded with oddities.
One of these places you find once and then never again, no matter how long you search for them."

A collection of short story about the hidden places of this world, the silent, the tiny places, the places where no one goes, those far above, the places that time forgot.All Rights Reserved

Perverse Discovery by nfsulli

This is a series of short stories inspired by a friend. After buying a new house his mom found a letter (random scribbling?) left behind in a back closet. The scrap of folded paper had warnings about demons that lived in the walls and forced him to sell his house. Needless to say it was an unsettling discovery. Pair that with my own personal experience of buying a house sight unseen and moving (literally) halfway across the country in the middle of a pandemic I had enough material to put together a short collection of stories. Each story opens with an item discovered in a house followed by either the origin of the item or the discovery of the item. All focus around the experience of someone moving. I write these for fun (there are more coming, just editing at the moment) and my own entertainment during the time of social distancing. I hope you find something relatable or at the very least gets you thinking. Enjoy! PS - Although I would not consider this overly graphic there are some more mature scenes and use of adult language.

Once Upon A Time [English Version] by ClownFace071

"There are stories that shouldn't be discovered. Stories that, once read, will change the way you see the world-forever." In a hidden corner of an ancient library, a manuscript called "Once Upon A Time" is kept. Those who have read it report strange experiences: dreams of cities with collective memories, time that can be sold at auction, and music that can alter the fabric of reality. Forty-plus portals to worlds that never existed-but feel more real than reality itself. We warn you: these pages contain dangerous ideas. Thoughts that, like parasites, will stay in your mind long after this book is closed. From markets that sell human morality to pharmacies that offer emotions in pill form. From algorithms that program happiness to forests where trauma takes tangible form. Each story is an open door to a dimension where the darkest questions about humanity are asked without mercy. This story is not for those looking for light escapism. It is for truth-seekers who dare to stare into the abyss-and find it staring back. Dare to open its pages?
