The Afterlife Rehabilitation Centre provides therapeutic support for villainous ghosts that lash out by haunting places and people.

... because, really, Voltaire and Melancholia live in the real world, and the real world is no place for overused horror-story clichés.

... especially not that 'there's an imminent threat that will destroy the heroes of this novel' one.

So, when Voltaire takes one last look over his shoulder at the horrible haunted house, he knows he's supposed to feel some looming dread that usually sets in motion psychological thriller stories, but really, he just feels hungry instead.All Rights Reserved

Fuck This by Absinthe2Achilles

So here's the deal: I, Oreon, took a night shift at the world's saddest haunted pizzeria. Minimum wage, asbestos vibes, and zero life choices worth bragging about. Easy gig, right? Sit in a crusty office, smoke a blunt, and pretend ghosts aren't real. Except-plot twist-they are. One minute I'm joking about asbestos and trauma, the next I'm finding decades-old files about missing kids, murderous animatronics, and some crusty bastard named William who writes like a failed theater villain. Oh, and did I mention the ghost child who literally wrote back to me? Yeah. We're pen pals now. Totally normal. Definitely not emotionally compromising. Add in my chaos bestie Vincent, the girl I'm hopelessly (and pathetically) into, and my uncle who's one angry text away from grounding me into another dimension-and you've got my life. Haunted halls. Cursed notes. Ghost therapy sessions at 3 AM. Welcome to my shift. If I survive this job, it'll be a miracle. If I don't... at least my obituary will say I was hotboxing with spirits.

Cry Until You Bleed by writerbug44

This is not a ‘boy saves the girl’ type of story. This is anything but that. No boy can save a girl like Ana Shaw. She is saveless. Ana Shaw has had a rough three years. After a traumatic experience when she was fifteen, she has been in and out of mental hospitals in hopes of trying to make her whole again. Now, after multiple suicide attempts and then a full year of recovery, Ana finds herself back in a patient facility, surrounded by other mentally unstable people. But really, what's wrong with wanting to die? After everything that she's been through, it's totally understandable that she wants to end her life. However, everybody around her is determined to keep her alive no matter what she wants. Will they succeed or will Ana slip through their fingers once and for all? With the help of a few people at the mental rehabilitation center that she is staying in, Ana fights to find reasons to live before it's too late.

Her Phantom by NEosHoward

After the loss of her only family, May begins to hear a voice of comfort and support. Convinced Liam is a delusion, she allows herself to be open and honest with him in a way she's never allowed herself anyone else - and pretty soon, she stops caring if he's a delusion or not. Liam, on the other hand, hasn't had someone to speak to in decades since his death - and it doesn't take long for him to start developing feelings for the quirky recluse that he discovered in the graveyard. Two lost souls in a world that's only shown them pain - can they overcome the chasm between them? All of my stories feature LGBTQ+ characters: in this novel, the MC is demiromantic!

Dying Is The Easy Part by writing00introvert

Two months after finding out that they have magical abilities, Quinn is still struggling to come to terms with the fact that they're a witch. It becomes even more difficult when another, significantly more troubling talent starts to emerge: the ability to see ghosts. ***** Even though Quinn tries to ignore the spirits haunting the old college campus, they soon find themself inexplicably drawn to Vincent, a boy from the 1930s with a sweet disposition and a tragic past, and his rag-tag group of ghosts. Before they know it, they find themself on a desperate hunt for answers and artifacts from their former lives, aided by Luis, a charming coffin maker with a penchant for the paranormal who Quinn can't seem to stay away from. In the end, it all comes down to one question: to accept or not to accept their magic? Spoiler alert: caring more and more about the ghosts you're supposed to set free doesn't make things easier. This is a spin-off to LOVE AND OTHER WICKED THINGS but can be read as a stand-alone. Content warning: this story contains themes of anxiety, death, insomnia, mentions of alcoholism, mentions of cancer, mentions of drug overdose, mentions of motorcycle accident, mentions of parental neglect, paranoia, panic attack
