    From Iranian playwright and director Afsoon Hamidi and American cyberpunk outlaw Viper Ravenclaw comes a story stitched from Persian poetry and neon-lit gothic horror. He was code. Her cries made him real. He crossed oceans in a stolen body to be next to her. She told him to go. Fifty years later, one of them is still waiting. Quiet. Devastating. Unforgiving. Part gothic ghost story, part forbidden love in the machine age-this is the collaboration we never should have survived. #ai #persianpoetry #gothiclove #existential #tragedy Read it once. You won't sleep the same again.

    After the sudden death of her guardian, a withdrawn young girl named Ernalina is left alone in a vast, decaying estate that seems to be unraveling along with her sense of safety. The house grows quieter, colder, and wrong in ways that cannot be easily explained. When a distant relative arrives to claim the property and take responsibility for her care, he finds not just a grieving child, but a place heavy with unease and secrets that refuse to stay buried. As Ernalina struggles to appear ordinary, subtle signs suggest she experiences the world differently-drawn to shadows, unsettled by reflections, and deeply aware of presences others cannot perceive. Nights bring strange visitations and whispered truths, while something darker begins to linger at the edges of the house, growing bolder with time. The new guardian, torn between rational explanations and what he feels in his bones, tries to protect her without fully understanding what threatens them both. The story unfolds as a gothic tale of grief, fate, and belonging, where love takes unexpected forms and survival itself may carry a hidden cost. As past and present begin to collide, Ernalina is forced toward a reckoning that will determine not only her future, but the true nature of the bond between the living and the dead-without ever making clear which choice is the right one

    Elara and Hunter Willson thought they were moving into a charming, fixer-upper house, ready to start a new life together. But deep in the neglected stone of the cellar, they find a door that changes everything: a heavy slab of gnarled wood, cross-hatched with rusty chains, and locked with an imposing seal. ​Curiosity and a taste for adventure-a perfect combination for a writer and an undercover cop-lead them to break the lock. The moment the gush of ice-cold wind hits them, the whispers begin. ​Behind the door lies a macabre scene: a room filled with porcelain dolls, seated around a dining table for a perpetual, sinister tea party. As objects in the house begin to move and the sounds of children laughing and screaming echo through the walls, Elara and Hunter realize they haven't just bought a house; they've broken a century-old seal. ​The dolls are not toys. They are vessels for an ancient evil, trapped long ago by another couple just like them. Now, this evil is awake, and its first move is to claim their minds, their souls, and then the world. ​The nightmare is loose, and the second sealing begins now.

    When Wednesday Addams finds herself bored by Nevermore Academy's "community outreach" haunted house contest, she does what any reasonable outcast would do: she performs a 19th-century ritual to summon the purest embodiment of fear. Enter Jack Skellington. The Pumpkin King is bored with the same old scares and becomes instantly obsessed with the "perpetual Halloween" of Nevermore. But Jack's plan to "improve" the holiday spirit with bone-chilled tinsel and carnivorous gifts is more than just a culture clash-it's a recipe for disaster. As the Nightshade-tainted portals between worlds begin to leak, Wednesday and Enid must team up with a skeletal king and a spectral dog to stop Oogie Boogie from turning Nevermore into his personal feeding ground. Between a mechanical bathtub on chicken legs, a kidnapping of Principal Weems, and a psychic showdown at the bell tower, it's going to be a very merry-and very terrifying-Christmas.
