03.28.23 "stop, you're losing me" BRITTA ALWYN had seen the signs. She noticed how her dad rarely talked to his girlfriend anymore. She'd seen the tabloids of him saying he wanted to go to her shows, but it had never been on his calendar. Yet, on the evening of March 28, 2023, her dad went out to dinner with his girlfriend and came back empty-handed. No leftovers from Britta's favorite upscale Italian place in New York, no sweet nothings or well-wishes from her dad's girlfriend, and no girlfriend to spend the night. And it broke Britta more than she'd like to admit; it completely shattered her. 07.07.23 "can i go where you go?" ESTELLE KELCE was alone for the first time in her life. After the sudden passing of her mother, Margaret--the woman who'd raised Stella as a single mother for her whole life, Stella was sent to live with her football player father, who didn't know the first thing about raising a teenage girl. She had no company other than pity, no future events to anticipate-other than anniversaries of the mother she'd lost-until her father came to her one day, with a surprise trip, a friendship bracelet, and a dream.

Title says it all

Taylor was fresh out of a relationship and desperate for love. Travis was newly suspended for drug use, reckless enough to treat life like a joke, and charming enough to get away with it. The two of them fell into a situationship built on bad decisions and worse timing. Seven weeks later, she was crying over a positive pregnancy test. Terrified of becoming the kind of parents they grew up with, they convinced themselves love could be built through commitment. Marriage followed quickly - along with years of cheating, screaming matches, resentment, and two people growing up in opposite directions while desperately trying not to fall apart. Somehow, they stay and by the time they finally learn how to love each other without destroying everything around them. But it's too late. Their son has already inherited the worst parts of both of them. At fifteen, he's arrogant, impulsive, and developing the same reputation his parents once had. Then he meets Vianne. And Vianne? She's not any better.

The twin sisters Folklore and Evermore Coney begin life already divided by tragedy. On July 24, 2006, Folklore is born extremely premature at only twenty-four weeks and spends months fighting for her life in the NICU. Her twin sister, Evermore, remains in the womb until full term and is born healthy on December 11, 2006. Although Evermore is healthy, the trauma of nearly losing Folklore permanently changes their parents, Marisa and Dan Coney. Folklore becomes the family's "miracle baby," constantly protected, celebrated, and adored. Evermore grows up in her shadow, receiving less attention, fewer gifts, and little emotional affection. As children, the sisters develop very differently. Folklore is sweet, social, and loved at school, quickly building a close friend group. Evermore, meanwhile, is quiet, sensitive, and lonely. Other children see her as strange because of rumors and the way her own family treats her. Her only true friends become Midnights, a kind and deeply loyal girl, and eventually Willow, a stray cat Evermore rescues and keeps hidden in her room for comfort. Despite the imbalance between them, Folklore is not cruel. She genuinely loves Evermore, but she grows addicted to the love and attention she receives. Again and again, she stays silent when Evermore is hurt because speaking up might threaten her own place in the family and at school. As the years pass, Evermore suffers increasingly painful neglect. But will their parents' actions change their relationship?

Collection I of Whispers from The Salt Table "There was an old saying in my great-grandmother's house: Don't leave the window open when someone is close to leaving." James never believed in old family sayings. He spent a lifetime running from love, pushing away the people who cared for him most, and convincing himself he needed no one. Now, at the end of his life, he lies alone in a quiet nursing home room with blue walls, a television that never says anything worth hearing, and one window that refuses to stay closed. Every morning, the nurses close it. Every night, it opens again. At first, the breeze is warm. Then it begins to whisper. As forgotten memories return and old regrets rise to the surface, James must face the one journey he spent his entire life avoiding-the road back home. Inspired by family traditions, faith, memory, and Southern folklore, James and the Open Window is the first collection in Whispers from The Salt Table-stories where love, loss, and mystery quietly share the same room. Because some stories aren't meant to frighten us. They're meant to remind us.

Each Remembering pulls her deeper into a forgotten world where folk magic is inherited through bloodlines, ancestors still whisper through dreams, and the past refuses to stay buried.

Eighteen year old Lilibet lives in a remote mountain mining town where death is common, poverty is constant, and the woods are older than the settlement carved into their edges. The men of the valley spill blood into the soil daily-through mining accidents, brawls, and battles-and the town whispers that dying men always scream for their mothers. Lilibet knows the truth: it is not their human mothers they call for, but the Devouring Mothers, ancient entities beneath the roots who drink spilled blood and claim the dying. Lilibet's life is defined by servitude. Her father and brother rely on her labor while dismissing her intelligence, strength, and independence. The woods are her only refuge, a place where she feels watched but not threatened, and where she senses a pull she cannot explain. Her only softness comes from Hutch, a kind young man who sees her as more than a burden-but even his affection feels like another cage. After a tense dinner where her father reveals he intends to marry her off to the Johnson family, Lilibet breaks. Feeling betrayed and trapped, she flees into the night and crosses the glen she has always respected but never fully entered. As a violent wind rises and the earth seems to breathe beneath her, she experiences a terrifying, surreal moment: she claws at her own throat, feels her blood spill into the soil, and screams "Mother!" before collapsing. She believes she is dying. Instead, she awakens at dawn, uninjured but transformed. Her senses are sharpened, her movements fluid and unnatural, her hair alive with motion. A small orb weaver spider-one she had saved earlier-appears in her palm and behaves impossibly, as though recognizing her. The forest around her shifts, revealing faces and limbs rising from the soil, beckoning her with hunger and welcome. Overcome by an instinct she cannot resist, she consumes the spider, completing a ritual she does not yet understand. Hutch finds her at sunrise, shaken and confused. He insists she was not in

Introduction When the clock strikes three in the morning, most of the world sleeps. But at 3 A.M., the Ilog ng Dilim awakens. River waters gleam like liquid moonlight, and the boundary between the living and the lost thins to a whisper. For Mara Reyes, the witching‐hour summons have become more than nightmares-they are a blood-bound calling to confront an ancient betrayal and reclaim what was stolen. 3 A.M. at the Enchanted River is a supernatural horror-fantasy rooted in Filipino folklore. It is the story of siblings bound by love and loss, of a river spirit named Amihan whose tears shaped the world's sorrow, and of one girl's unbreakable vow to cross the threshold between life and death to save her sister-and perhaps, herself. Turn the page, if you dare, and step into the moonlit mist. But beware: once the river sees you, it will not let you go easily.
