atavus atavusfalls creepy death falls halloween horror killer monster published scary serial woods

When fourteen year-old Jackson's life is uprooted, he finds his new hometown, idyllic Atavus Falls, under attack by something not very easily explained. The locals choose to call it a rabid bear or a mountain lion, but as the monster closes in on Jackson and his family, the traumatized community comes to find that their killer is actually the product of the mangled sociological experiment of an unhinged psychologist attempting to prove that language is a contagion, a human virus infecting us all. 
The fates of Jackson and the killer prove to be entwined at the rootmost level, and at its unnerving conclusion, the tale of Atavus Falls shows us that sometimes a monster lives in the soul of a child... and sometimes humanity can be seen reflected in the eyes of a monster. 
Inspired as much by Faulkner and Shelly as King, and told in the myriad voices of the community, this story lives somewhere between genre fiction and upmarket literature.

Bloodfang by CorderoPack

Quirky, Ricky Vera is unexpectedly sent to Durango, Colorado to spend the summer with his uncle. The fourteen-year-old's last-minute trip does nothing to alleviate the chronic anxiety he suffers. The first eventful week in Durango doesn't either. A scary incident in the woods, an odd confession from his uncle, and the discovery of an injured wolf in the basement are but a few of the heart-racing moments Ricky faces during his first week. They are also the beginnings of an amazingly unique friendship and life-altering journey! Feral is a wolf... or he used to be. He had been the curious runt of an admired but harsh Alpha. His mother's affection was the only softness in his life. Many centuries ago, during the first Thanksgiving feast, all of that changed in a night. A horrible encounter with a monstrous creature ended his wolf life as Hidden Paw and his eternal life as Feral began. When Ricky first meets Feral, he sees only an injured wolf. An avid animal lover and even more so, an obsessed wolf fanatic, Ricky overcomes his fear to help the wounded animal. When Feral sees Ricky for the first time, he thinks Ricky is a typical teenage human not worth his time. They are both wrong. The old adage, don't judge a book by its cover has never been more appropriate. Ricky comes to learn that Feral is a one-of-a-kind creature and Feral learns Ricky is not quirky and anything but average. Ricky is autistic. They find, despite being classified as 'different' by others, they have a lot more in common than they could ever have dreamed! What makes them oddities in their everyday lives makes them best friends in Durango! Bloodfang has it all! There is emotional bonding, teenage angst, animal-human communication and vampires! Bloodfang is a must read fantasy book that takes make-believe and intertwines it with real issues of this generation.

Will You Still Look at me Again? by DarkSoulShadow

Our main character, Romero Porcupine, decided that a change of scenery would be a nice decision for himself, after he had experienced a traumatizing event in his life. So, he decided to go and live in a nice, quiet town. It is said to be amazing. The townsfolk are supposedly nice. The scenery is amazing. There does seem to be a little bit of noise at night, but that is normal. Right? I mean, who would not love to live next to the woods in a town that has a "Wolf Problem," whatever that means, AM I RIGHT??? No but seriously, he is a bit concerned for his well-being, and along with trying to keep his past and his job a secret from the town, he is trying to figure out how to process some new... information... he gets about the world he lives in. But, just maybe, he can find someone in this town to confide in? Someone who seems like he can trust. Enjoy (Side note: I know I don't usually post this type of stuff, as this is supposed to be SMUT. DETAILED, BL SMUT. But, I thought it would be nice to change it up a bit and dive into areas of writing I normally don't do. If you have any types of stories that you guys think I should make, let me know.) A03 Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/62428471?view_full_work=true

Sunsets Fall by HeheheheLmao

Ivy Mendler's a normal teenage girl, with normal friends, normal interests, and normal crushes (although she won't admit it to herself). Her canines aren't THAT long, and her skin isn't THAT pale, but her eyes certainly are red. Despite this, she still leads a normal life, has a summer job, and has gotten used to the terrified stares. Ending up in the hospital one day because of herself is enough to make her realize that there's something wrong though. Ivy, along with Camden (her friend who she's definitely just friends with) decides to finally question things and realizes that she's not who she thinks she is. Can Ivy still lead her normal life, even after uncovering an Earth-shattering secret? I have to write a book for an English assignment and I'm severely behind, so I thought that putting it on here would give me more motivation. The good news is that I'm forced to finish it if I don't want to end with an F. English isn't my first language though, so keep your expectations low. Each chapter is around 10,000 words. Enjoy!
