Laura thought her new job at the Ilora City Art Museum would be nothing more than paperwork, emails, and filing cabinets. But everything changed after a near-death experience awakened her third eye. Just as she struggles to make sense of this eerie new reality, being able to see ghosts at the museum, Laura crosses paths with two unexpected allies: Kiki Mendoza, her co-worker's fearless six-year-old daughter who sees spirits with unnerving clarity like she does, and Maria Locsin, the museum's enigmatic art conservator-and Kiki's peculiar godmother-whose sharp eyes can read auras and energies like an open book. Together, they unravel the haunting mysteries within the museum's darkened halls, where every painting, sculpture, and whisper in the shadows might hold secrets of the restless dead.

Some stories begin with a scream. These begin with a whisper. A funeral game where the dead whisper secrets back. A frozen lake that opens for one night each winter. A house that creaks after the power dies at 2:13 a.m. In these pages, shadows breathe, grief takes strange shapes, and ordinary places become something far more dangerous after dark. This collection of eerie short stories blends psychological horror, mystery, and the supernatural into haunting tales that linger long after the final page. Perfect for readers who love slow-building dread, unsettling twists, and the feeling that something is watching from just beyond the light. Welcome to the dark. Just don't stay too long.

Ellie just wanted a cheap room in a half‑decent flat. What she got was a ghost with opinions. Theo has been dead for years, but that hasn't stopped him from haunting the spare room - or from developing a very inconvenient attachment to the living girl who moves in. He's sarcastic, restless, and far too human for someone who can walk through walls. Ellie shouldn't talk to him. She definitely shouldn't laugh with him. And she absolutely shouldn't start caring about a man she can't touch. But the longer they share a home, the more the boundaries blur: between haunting and companionship, between grief and hope, between a life paused and a life still unfolding. When Ellie uncovers the truth about Theo's death - and the reason he's still here - she has to decide whether helping him move on means losing him forever. A warm, aching, paranormal love story about connection, unfinished business, and the one person who sees you even when no one else can. ---

INTRODUCTION: THE VILLA OF BROKEN ECHOES "The woods have eyes. But the basement... the basement has a heartbeat." It was the ultimate victory. Five strangers, united by a legendary gaming tournament win, forged a bond supposed to last a lifetime. They were a powerhouse squad: A CBI Agent, a Police Officer, a Hacker, a Corporate Heir, and a Crime Writer. When they found a majestic villa hidden in the forest for a suspiciously low rent, they ignored the local legends. To a team of professionals, "haunted" was just a word used to sell cheap real estate. But as the oak doors creak shut, logic begins to bleed. The air turns thick with the scent of old copper. Shadows move without a light source. And every night at midnight, a rhythmic, mechanical hum vibrates through the floorboards-an industrial growl from a basement that should be empty. Is it a curse? A spirit? Or something far more physical, waiting with surgical patience to claim its prize? In this house, the stakes are no longer digital. There is no 'Respawn' button. 5 Friends. 1 House. 0 Escape. ⚠️ AUTHOR'S ADVISORY This is a dark psychological thriller. Read at your own risk: THE HAUNTED ILLUSION: The atmosphere feels paranormal, but the terror is chillingly real. THE ART OF BRUTALITY: Contains explicit graphic violence and Body Horror. This story explores the "preservation" of the human form. If you fear the sound of a chainsaw in the dark, turn back. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF CAPTIVITY: Themes of isolation, abduction, and intense dread. The killer doesn't just want you dead-he wants you eternal. Step inside. But remember: once the basement door opens, the screaming never stops.

One pair of boots. Two introverts. One borrowed afternoon in Seoul. Max is a pragmatic designer with only twenty-four hours left in South Korea and a life built on rigid, unbreakable rules. Kros is a soft-spoken observer with a steady presence and an intense, unblinking gaze that seems to peel back her carefully maintained exterior. When a casual swipe brings them to the banks of the Han River, they find something rarer than a tourist's souvenir: a perfect, silent alignment. From the rhythmic strike of combat boots on Seoul's pavement to the heavy weight of their contrasting realities, they navigate a city built for couples while knowing their time is already running out. In a world of fleeting connections, what happens when something real appears at exactly the wrong time, and neither of them is willing to break the life they've built to follow it?

The Kingdom of Ash Veins operates on four simultaneous frequencies: a murder mystery with a body count that escalates toward apocalypse, a dark romance between two people who are both instruments of something larger than themselves, a psychological horror built on the disintegration of identity rather than violence, and a philosophical inquiry into consciousness, suffering, and what it means to belong to something.

There were only 40 students in Class 12-B. Kai Mercer knows that because he counts them every single morning. Rainy days. Exams. Empty seats. Laughing classmates. Everything in his school life was completely normal... until the class photograph changed. Overnight, an unfamiliar student appears in the back row. Nobody notices. Nobody questions it. According to the teachers, attendance records, and even the school system itself, Class 12-B has always had 41 students. Except Kai remembers otherwise. Then the first student disappears. Not transferred. Not expelled. Forgotten. Desks vanish overnight. Messages delete themselves. Faces blur in old photographs. Even memories begin changing as if certain people never existed at all. As the number inside the classroom continues shifting, Kai teams up with Ethan and Lena to uncover the terrifying truth hidden inside their school's walls. But the deeper they investigate, the more reality itself begins to break apart. Because the "41st student" is not just a person. It's something far worse. And if the number ever reaches 42... someone else will disappear next.

In the Kingdom of Vaelthorn, feeling is forbidden. Not metaphorically. Not poetically. By law, by conditioning, by eleven years of a king who decided that emotion was the specific architecture of disaster and built an entire civilization around its absence. Into this kingdom walks Amiana Morvaine - nineteen years old, silver-eyed, and carrying a gift that has spent her entire life being called a curse. Everything she touches dies. Everyone who gets close enough to feel her warmth is drained of it. She has spent nineteen years learning three rules. Don't touch. Don't feel. Don't love. Ashael Thorne has spent eleven years learning the same rules from the other direction.

"Who are you?" she asked me exasperated. Her breath uneven, features frustrated. You know me I want to say, I don't reply. I watch her. "Where the hell did you come from?" she staggers in her steps.

Silt and Silence is a lyrical fantasy novel about a sixteen-year-old boy who unearths an ancient cursed bottle in his family's ancestral valley and makes three wishes to save the people he loves - not realizing the price is his own existence. As he slowly fades from the world over seven days, his childhood friend Lena refuses to let him disappear quietly, and the spirit trapped inside the bottle - a King imprisoned for 3,000 years - turns out to be something neither of them expected. It's a story about the arrogance of trying to fix things for people without asking what they want, and about what it means to be truly seen by someone who won't look away.
