#First place winner of The Craze Awards 2017 

YOU'VE NEVER EVER HEARD A STORY LIKE THIS!

Welcome to Little Falls, where murders and missings don't create a havoc! Every place has its own secrets. And they are best exposed when a new family moves into there. 

You believe the stories you hear. You become afraid of the places alleged to be haunted, cursed or whatever. It could be the truth, it could be a myth.

For Chris, the migrating nature of his mother's job is a blessing. He's always excited to move into a new place, have new neighbors. But what excites him the most is the less trodden paths and the least visited locations of a place. 

He loves late night outings to mysterious places, exploring the dark, looking out for some supernatural events...

But things take a different turn when he moves into Little Falls. At first, everything seems to be normal. But when one night he pays a visit to The Old Cemetery, all hell breaks loose!

Without wanting to, Chris finds himself entangled in a web of lies, surprises and horror, with the girl of his dreams - Anna. In a breathtaking race against time, he is forced to question himself and those around him. But someone close is lying to him...
   
If they fail to unravel the mystery of Little Falls in the given time, well...better not talk about it!

And beware! You have only 6 nights to go...

Lekan Daniels knows the first and only rule of dealing drugs: 1- Don't get busted or it's game over. But getting caught is the last of her worries even as she ends up in the notorious Mary Slessor Youth Detention Center awaiting trial because the worst of her problems is that she can hear the thoughts of the dead that haunt the nights of the juvenile prison and one ghost is particularly pesky with his demand. Apparently, every summer of each year, several teenagers are murdered in mysterious ritualistic killings and this year is no different - except now, every carefully tied secret is unraveling at the seams, everyone is lying and not one soul can be trusted, not even the handsome ghost that continues to haunt her head. When the cycle of murders seem to begin again and all arrows point to the mysterious door behind the kitchen, Lekan is about to find out what extents this devourer can reach before they reach her.

When Bryony -- herbalist extraordinaire -- goes missing, Bella knows one suspect stands above the rest. The village's aspiring second witch, Daphne, comes from a family that's tried to take Bryony down before, and Daphne seems determined to carry on that legacy. For someone who's always been terrified of Bryony, she's a little too keen on looking into the disappearance. There's just one problem. Bella's insufferable fellow familiar thinks the kid is innocent... and he's been right about worse things before. If Daphne herself is to be believed, clues on the disappearance lead a whole lot closer to home than Bella would like. As the evidence mounts, Bella must choose to either stand by her values and the woman who raised her, or seek what might be a truth she would rather not uncover. Prompt #81: The town's witch has gone missing and no one is looking for her but her two familiars - a crow and a black cat, plus the teen who has always been scared of her. ❖❖❖ Written for Wattpad's 2024 Open Novella Contest.

The Silent Shadows by Chercher246

In the small, isolated town of Briar Hollow, strange occurrences have begun to unsettle the once peaceful community. 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 Awakening by NarrativeNest8708

At 37, Cambry Keller has spent her entire life feeling as if something was just a bit... off. Her job, her relationships, her home-all perfectly ordinary, yet there was always a nagging feeling deep within her that she was meant for something more, something extraordinary. But nothing ever changed, and soon, she resigned herself to the quiet monotony of her life. Until the fall after she turned 37. In the span of a single autumn, everything Cambry thought she knew about herself-and the world around her-was turned upside down. Strange dreams begin to haunt her nights, filled with forgotten symbols and places she's never been, yet feels intimately familiar. Her body begins to change in subtle, unexplainable ways: heightened senses, a newfound connection to the natural world, and the inexplicable ability to influence the elements. As the leaves fall, Cambry uncovers long-buried family secrets that reveal her true heritage: a powerful bloodline with ties to an ancient mystical order. The dormant magic within her awakens, and Emily finds herself thrust into a world of enchantment, danger, and ancient forces vying for control. Her journey of self-discovery leads her to allies and enemies, both human and supernatural, as she grapples with the powerful abilities she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so too does a looming threat. Cambry must learn to control the magic that now courses through her veins, or risk not only her life, but the fate of the world. In this transformative season, Cambry will come to understand that she is not just different-she is extraordinary. And the time for her true purpose has finally come.

Burnt Blood: The Werewolf Within by Demon_Wolf_Detective

His best friend is shot dead, and the world thinks Metropolitan Police Officer George Reynolds did it. They were in the one place that should've been safe, their police station. At least it was until aspiring detective George Reynolds came lucid from another blackout. Blood pools tantalisingly across the floor and there's two bullet holes in the wall. His best friend, officer Chris Wells is dead and George finds himself with the body and no memory of how. Only a tape recorder and a locker key for a clue. It's a dangerous game, from a lifetime of planning, rigged to make George look guilty and force him to remember what he really is and what he went through as a child. A pure born werewolf. Kidnapped from his real family to be experimented on. George gets dangled on strings by the killer puppet master and taken on a haunting journey never to be forgotten again. Made to relive the past trauma of a tragic fire that took the lives of the family that tortured him. Bodies continue to fall, all framed to fit the murderous narrative of an elaborate plot for revenge. When he finally remembers, when he's finally broken, another unique side to George wakes. So does a dark new world from the shadows. George learns the painful truth, and none of it is good. Nobody saw the real killer coming or expected that it could be someone they trusted. It will take everything George has to save his friends, new and old. Nobody will be the same. Nor will their view of the world. Its rife with the supernatural. **** Cover made on Canva Pro.
