The Door by NightOwlChronicles

WHATEVER YOU DO... DON'T OPEN THE DOOR! Ever since a violent robbery forced Josh Riley and his family to move to a new house, he's been on edge. There's a strangely unsettling new student at school, and he can't sleep at night. The nightmares and insomnia from his anxiety are bad enough. But when he's home alone, something comes knocking at his front door. In the deepest, darkest part of the night, he hears the house rattle and the doorknob turn. He catches glimpses of unexplainable things - bloodshot eyes staring back through the peephole, strange symbols around the door, and racing shadows - but no one believes him. Have the thieves tracked him down? Is it merely a neighborhood prankster? Or is Josh losing his mind? The Door is a heart-pounding, page turning thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end.

Midnight Insomnia by julianlandenreadings

A mysterious disappearance, or, perhaps, an abduction of some kind. A witch who loves to toy with men. Ghosts who are trying to find their way and place in the afterlife. Demons seeking redemption for their past sins. Angels hungry to prove their creators aren't as almighty as they seem. Supernatural creatures trying to go against their worst instincts for blood. And ordinary humans turning into the most feared individuals on the planet. Did any of this sound interesting? Check out a teaser: "Last night, I heard something coming into my bedroom...it opened the door and let itself in, it walked on the creaking wooden floor towards my bed, and that's when I saw it, a stream of overwhelming and haunting beam of light." ----Chapter 1: It Came for Me Reader discretion advised: rated mature for graphic depictions of violence, disturbing content including material that may be sensitive to others, sexual content, mature themes, strong language, and some drug use.

The Visitation by Aurora808

Late one night two teenagers witness a strange light descending from the sky near their town. Then mysterious events start happening which all lead to an old abandoned mine. Someone is doing something secretively down there and are going to great efforts to make sure no one finds out what it is. But Josh and Katie don't give up, and soon find themselves in a very dangerous situation. Science Fiction/Mystery Note: I wrote this story when I was in high school. My target audience was 10 to 20 yrs, but I hope readers of any age will enjoy. It has been through two major edits since I wrote it to bring it up to a (hopefully) high standard. Please read and enjoy.

The First Case (Colt Investigations #1) by Dare2DreamMT

A teen who takes on the emotions of those around him. A child that sees visions of events to come. A loving, devoted father and husband who seems to become a totally different person overnight. An older brother who knows something is not quite right at home. An elderly neighbor that sees shadow figures in the windows of the house next door. A best friend who is convinced a demonic entity is responsible for nearly all of the events. From the street no one can see the horrors unfolding inside. People driving and walking by are completely unaware of the pure evil lurking just beyond the porch. Billy Colt doesn't believe in the paranormal. While he accepts that some people have extraordinary abilities, any talk of the possibility that ghosts or demons may be responsible for the unexplainable events plaguing his family is totally absurd in his opinion. But when a horrific murder takes place, leaving even the local police at a loss, he is forced to rethink his beliefs. With the help of his brother and best friend, Billy begins an investigation of his own. What he eventually discovers will change his entire way of thinking and set the stage for what his life's work will be.
