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.

22 parts Ongoing Mature
You die. Game over? Not quite. Welcome to the Afterlife Crucible. Every millennium, lost souls battle for a second shot at life. Forget everything you thought you knew about the afterlife. It's not pearly gates and harps - it's a ruthless gauntlet dreamed up by bored gods with a sick sense of humour. Your regrets become weapons, your sins are armour, and your secrets? Just ammo for your rivals. This is a no-holds-barred war where only the most devious spirits get to breathe again. You'll face nightmares that make Hell look like Disneyland, and opponents who'd sell their own mothers for a chance to win. Ready to fight for your life... after death? I sure as hell wasn't. There I was, barely keeping my head above water, when some prick decided to punch my ticket early. But let's face it - my chances of winning are slimmer than my ex's conscience. Who am I? Jane Doe. Just another dead girl in a sea of corpses... a junkie, a fuckup, a waste of oxygen. Or so I thought...
FOR OUR GOD - SPOOKY MONTH (AU) by hopelesspetals
5 parts Ongoing Mature
TRIGGER WARNING! THIS IS A HEAVY TOPIC KIND OF BOOK THAT CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING: HOMICIDE, BLOOD/GORE, MAJOR DEATH (+ CHILD DEATH), CULT ACTIVITY, MENTIONS OF S/H, AND MORE! IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO THIS KIND OF STUFF YET YOU STILL WANT TO READ: YOU'VE BEEN WARNED! MOST CHARACTERS BELONG TO SR PELO, NOT ME! SIDE NOTE: THIS BOOK IS MADE BY THE OFFICAL AU CREATOR! DO NOT STEAL THIS STORY IN ANY WAY AND CLAIM IT TO BE YOURS, BECAUSE IT IS MINE! DRAW FANART OF IT, MAKE STORIES OF IT, DO WHATEVER, BUT I WILL NOT ALLOW FOR ANYONE TO STEAL MY WORK. ------------------------ I've always been a part of a cult with a sadistic leader and a mythical god we worship by sacrificing children. Since then, the town has grown bigger and bigger, and we might've been forgotten. Or at least, all of us, except our leader. Yet the police have found out about us since the fateful day they entered the house on the hill, which is where we sacrifice our victims. They know who we are. They're trying to spread the word because they know our tendencies and have seen us before, but nobody believes them, not even the mayor. Because there's more of us and they don't know it. They should be careful of our leader, though. Who knows what he'll do to the civilians after he killed most of us and turned us into his puppets to torment, play with, and especially control to hunt and capture the citizens for him. He'll probably turn them all into his puppets, too. Even though we've caught more children than we used to, we can't help but feel betrayed. We were supposed to do this together, Atticus. Remember? That's the reason why we're a cult, right? But this is for our god, after all. ------------------------ (ALT NAME FOR AU: HYPNOTIC HELL (YH)) (Inspired by Spooky Month Nightmare Parade by @staticCL1NG on Twitter & Island of the Slaughtered by @eaveery.css on Tiktok)
