mystery romance suspense

The small town of Eastbrook, Maine seemed like the close-knit community where newlyweds Dean and Elizabeth Montgomery could begin their lives together, and the 1901 Victorian seemed like the house they'd always dreamed of owning. The only condition for purchasing the property was that it was sold in "as-is" condition.

When the couple arrives in Eastbrook, they receive anything but a warm welcome from the local residents. And when they realize that as-is condition meant that the previous owner of the house had left every worldly possession behind, the dream of the small town life starts to take a mysterious turn.

Day after day, Dean and Elizabeth uncover more truths than they could have ever imagined, or ever wanted to know about the secrets that were hidden in the small town of Eastbrook. And as neighbors become growingly hostile with every encounter, this young couple searches furiously to uncover what the residents are trying to hide.

As their journey unfolds, Elizabeth goes missing and Dean must turn to the very neighbors he fears may have known what would happen to her from the moment the couple arrived for help. Because in this town, some secrets are better off hidden.All Rights Reserved

People are vanishing without a trace, and those who remain speak of eerie figures lurking in the dark, silent as shadows. The townsfolk are gripped by fear, unwilling to venture out after sunset. At the heart of the mystery is the abandoned Hawthorn Manor, a decaying mansion that has stood untouched on the outskirts of town for decades. Rumors swirl about its dark past, involving a family that mysteriously disappeared many years ago. Now, whispers of a curse draw curious outsiders and thrill-seekers, but none return the same-or at all. When 17-year-old Emily Weaver's best friend goes missing after daring to explore the manor, Emily is determined to uncover the truth. Armed with a mix of skepticism and desperation, she gathers a group of unlikely allies-each with their own reasons for seeking answers. Together, they delve into the chilling history of Hawthorn Manor, uncovering secrets buried deep within the town's history. As they piece together the puzzle, they discover that the manor is not just haunted by spirits of the past, but by an ancient, malevolent force that thrives on fear and darkness. The closer they get to the truth, the more dangerous their journey becomes, as the shadows seem to come alive, watching their every move. In a race against time, Emily and her friends must confront the source of the evil before it consumes them all, forcing them to face their deepest fears and uncover the long-buried secrets that could either save the town-or doom it forever.

The House on Hawthorn Drive by Skylarsimk

Four friends. One secluded Victorian house. A five-day vacation that becomes a fight for survival. This is the premise of "Hawthorn Drive," a psychological thriller that delves into the depths of female friendships tested by the uncanny and the lingering shadows of trauma. Ellie, our protagonist, arrives at the seemingly idyllic Hawthorn Drive with a sense of unease that quickly escalates into full-blown paranoia. The house itself breathes an unsettling stillness; its decaying architecture and cryptic details foreshadow the horrors that await. As strange occurrences multiply-mysterious objects appear, whispers echo from the walls, and the friendly neighbors reveal a chillingly intrusive nature-Ellie's growing fear is dismissed by her friends, adding a layer of psychological tension to the supernatural horror. The narrative unfolds through Ellie's increasingly unreliable perspective, reflecting the blurring lines between reality and hallucination as the supernatural entity begins to exert its influence. What begins as a relaxing getaway quickly transforms into a desperate battle for survival as the friends uncover a dark history connected to a forgotten cult, and learn that one of them is inextricably linked to the house's sinister past.
