The Last House on County Road 9 by Skylight89

When the storm came to Hollow Creek, it didn't just bring rain-it brought something back with it. On a quiet stretch of Route 66, a brutal murder shatters the calm of a small Illinois town. Deputy Rachel Hayes, still trying to prove herself in a department that doesn't trust her, is called to investigate the death of local mechanic Daniel Weaver. But what begins as a simple homicide quickly unravels into something far darker. Each clue leads Rachel deeper into a trail of buried secrets-old photographs, missing people, and a chilling legend whispered about for generations. Together with Evan Cole, a reporter desperate to revive his career, she uncovers the truth about Hollow Creek's past: a pact made in blood, a debt that demands payment every eight years, and a presence in the corn that never truly dies. As the storms return and the town begins to collapse around them, Rachel must decide how much she's willing to sacrifice to break the cycle-before Hollow Creek takes her, too.

Sam's Weird: Homecoming by skyz_limit

Sam's always known she was different. Her grandmother called it her gift. She called it her weird. She knew when bad things were going to happen before they did. She felt things that weren't there. She was visited by dead relatives in her dreams. But the creepiest part of it all was when she could see the ghosts. She spent the better part of her life blocking out the weird, and as a side effect, blocking off her feelings and ability to be close to people. Now she finds herself unable to keep her weird at bay. Her decision to move back home to help the people of the community she grew up in will have her facing more than just the things that go bump in the night. She will also have to face her own ghosts and her feelings toward the two unexpected men in her life. TW found in preface/author's note.

To Burn the World for You by Lecheesw

Charlotte, quiet but fierce, and Max, a bold and rugged dirt-bike-riding survivor, are bound by the blood they've spilled and the love that's grown between battles. Together they ride through ruined cities and overgrown highways, dodging death, hunting supplies, and navigating the raw ache of survival. But the greatest threat isn't just the zombies crawling from the dark-it's the living, and the cost of keeping each other alive. They will burn the world for each other. They just might have to. -this story contains violence, gore, sexual content, and mature themes. It is not suitable for readers under 18.

Through Blood and Ash by Scouleo

Through Blood and Ash. What's left after everything burns? --------- They warned us. We didn't listen. Now the world is dead - and the dead are all that's left. The year is 6062, and humanity has collapsed under the weight of its own arrogance. A cure meant to save us twisted into something monstrous, turning loved ones into soulless predators with only one instinct: kill. Cara has lost everything - her family, her home, and the illusion that safety still exists. With a small band of survivors, she clings to life on the run, haunted by the screams of those she couldn't save... especially her brother. But when a desperate choice forces them back into the infected zones, Cara will have to decide what's worse: the monsters outside, or the guilt that's been tearing her apart from within. In a world where hope is dying and nightmares walk in daylight, survival comes at a cost - and not everyone is willing to pay it. -------------------------------- REWRITTEN I've gone back and rewritten this story from the ground up. As well as changed the name. The original had a strong foundation, but I knew there was more I could bring to it-more depth, more heart, and a better reading experience. I truly hope you enjoy this new version. And if you're returning from the original, thank you for sticking with me-I hope this one resonates with you just as much, if not more.
