Dalton checks the stove four times every morning. Not three. Not five. Four. He learned this the hard way when his house caught fire at 9:47 AM after he only checked three times. Seven checks on the locks keep intruders out. Three deep breaths before driving prevent accidents. The numbers have rules. Break them, and disaster follows. His therapist says it's just OCD. His ex-wife says he's teaching their daughter to be afraid of everything. But Dalton knows the truth-the rituals work. Until the day his nine-year-old daughter starts touching her ear three times before answering questions. "I don't know," she whispers. "I just have to." A psychological horror story about compulsion, consequence, and what happens when the numbers you count might be the only thing keeping catastrophe at bay.

A blizzard was never part of the plan. When a group of friends is stranded on a desolate highway during one of the worst winter storms in decades, they take refuge in what appears to be an abandoned roadside motel. With the roads buried, their phones dead, and the storm raging outside, staying put seems like their only option. But the motel isn't as empty as it looks. As the night drags on, unease turns into fear. Strange noises echo through the halls. Doors don't open when they should. Tensions rise, secrets surface, and the storm traps them deeper inside-with no way to tell if the real danger is outside... or already among them. What begins as a fight for survival becomes something far more personal. By the time the snow finally stops falling, only one truth remains: some storms don't just pass through - they hunt.

Bodies return twisted. Voices rise from the mist. And the deeper Asha goes, the more she realizes that the river is not claiming victims - it's building an army.

A book that refuses to burn... a curse that shows no mercy. From the moment Walter tried to set the book ablaze, shadows began to seep slowly into his life. The more he tried to bury it, the stronger the curse pulsed within him, dragging him into nightmares beyond comprehension. By day, Walter stands as a teacher to children; by night, he is torn apart by claws, his screams echoing through a realm unseen by others. With every step, his will fades, as the whispers of the shadow force him to act without thought. But when a strange child enters the kindergarten... everything changes. His presence distorts reality, his gaze threatens souls, and the kings that follow him remain invisible to all but those doomed to see. Torn between his humanity and the mark of the shadows, Walter faces a single choice: sacrifice his principles and become something else... or be erased. In a world where pain is ecstasy and terror reigns supreme, every scream is heard, and every soul comes with a price.
