David Dare was evacuated in the war, but his parents never came to collect him - and, in a moment of despair, he does a great wrong. Years go by before disaster strikes the town where he is mayor. Then, out of his past, steps a strange man - apparently with magical powers - to effect a rescue. And then it all comes flooding back...

Set in 1990, The Piper conjures up a picture of a perfect town, beset by economic catastrophe, social upheaval, the satanic abuse panic, and rescued by a combination of inventing their own money and a peculiar, unearthly music.All Rights Reserved

Is it Hot in Here... Or Is It Just You?(ManxMan) by bookbutterfly1999

A stable job, a loving family.... he had it all under control. Until she came in like a wreaking ball (sorry i just couldn't resist XD). Samirah's entrance in Matt's life kickstarted events that lead him to hell... literally. Based on a Tumblr writing prompt.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier

Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

Mermaids and Men [mlm] by godofworlds

It all started with a simple question: "If you could do it again... Would you? If you knew that things were going to end this way... Would you still do all of it again? Or would you run from it? Save yourself?" Such a simple question, though maybe not so simple. For when a question like that was asked... A curse was born. The story follows eighteen-year-old Nicholas Fraiser, or just Nicki for short, who moved to America from England when he was about fourteen years old. After moving around a lot because of his family's work, Nicki finally settled in a town called Phanta, where he will be finishing out his senior year. Phanta is a beautiful seaside town, surrounded by the ocean, though a silhouette of an island can very faintly be seen out in the distance. This island holds many secrets and tragedies that Nicki will soon be aware of. Tragedies he may have at one point been a part of. There's something more to Nicki than he realizes. Little does he know, moving to Phanta and meeting three girls was just another step of setting history repeating back in motion. Though... This was set in stone from the very beginning-- from the moment Nicki was born into this world. A path was already laid out in front of him. "You've fought long and hard. I think it's high time you rest. You deserve to. I know you're tired."

In the Absence of a Good Life by ifindedcake

Meet Jimmy. He's the guy with all the problems, the screw up who always acts like a complete and total jerk. The one guy that's forever in trouble. Well, what happens when his habits get him into situations a little more serious than your usual high school jerk's problems? Jimmy's in a hole too deep to climb out of...and he's only digging deeper... (sorry, I suck at summaries...please give it a go...)

The Reaper's Word by Blackcatlover_87

Clair's life is turned upside down when she signs what she thinks is a simple release form. What it turns out to be is binding contract that she and others were tricked into signing. She is now at the mercy of a man who is not human and his hell hounds. Trapped in a sprawling mansion that is alive with magic of its own, Clair must make every move count. Especially when she survives longer than any other. When Isaiah sets his sights on her, and decides he wants Clair for more than an entertaining game, she doesn't know if she should run or give in. -an offer "I promise to give you three days full immunity from me and my hell hounds, so long as you draw what I show you, and you kiss me." Her heart stopped beating in her chest, oh god she couldn't do that. She could barely take him touching her without freaking out. His hand moved to the side of her neck his thumb by her ear. He didn't force her to look up just waited for her decision. Isaiah had no idea if she would accept his offer or not. If she didn't then he was going to have her body right here and now. If she did then she'd get her three days ,and he'd have to wait for that pleasure. More than likely he'd have to hunt her down again. But that was the fun of it, either way he doubted he'd be disappointed. "What happens if I don't?" She asked. "I'm waiting for an answer." He replied and that very clearly told her that she wouldn't enjoy what he planned to do if she said no. Full story on Hinovel app! Search Reaper's Word

(DISCONTINUED)Different(Sebastian x Neko!Reader) by WalkingTVs

Sorry this story is dead read at your own risk. Poor girl, kick out by your parents on your birthday, for just being different, fired from your job for being a 'freak'. All alone in the streets of london, poor kitten. Isn't it hard being different? Let's see how things change when you meet me, one hell of a butler.

Haunted By The Night (rewrite beginning chapters) by BookWhore_195

Disquietude. Fortitude. Either way the shadow will follow. Woodland Hollow was full of confidentially. Some are legends, some are allegory. Weeping willows, evergreen and grapevines engulfed the land of secrets. Never to be lurked. Never to be articulated. Huntsman, wrongdoers and trekkers that have ever laid foot on that soil, have evanesced from life. Vanishing into thin air to never be seen again. But It wasn't until one sinister night a idiosyncratic, naive girl runs away. Not knowing the dangers that might follow. Not knowing the dark shadow that might corrupt her. This is a mafia romance about a runaway and a gang leader. Warning: ________ Bad language, Sexual content, Sexual harassment, Violence, BDSM, Mature content, Dark, Knife Kink, Gun Kink, Abuse, self harm, Etc... P.S. There will be more graphic and porno graphic scenes added. This is not a fantasy novel!!! No werewolves or witches just mafia. So...Beware! Thank you!

Son of Fire by Pearl-Heart

When I was born, the hospital my mother was in caught fire. She didn't make it due to severe burns, so I was put in a foster home. I suffer from dyslexia and ADHD, but also a curse. Wherever I go, fire follows. My first foster house burned down and three people died, the second one burned and this time, no one died. By the fifth foster home, I was a danger to others and I wasn't allowed in a house with other children. It was as if the world had cursed me to always destroy others, to kill, and to take. I never wanted to go to a new home, I tried to stay away, tried to seclude myself, but a boy with chocolate brown eyes and a leather jacket decided he wouldn't let me.
