In a world hidden beyond death, where memories are traded like currency, cursed objects fill the markets, and abandoned places become thriving cities, the Ravens live an almost ordinary family life. Almost. Their children collect nightmares as hobbies. Their grandmother reads the daily funeral reports with her morning tea. Their mansion is alive enough to argue with its owners. And every week seems to bring a new disaster involving ghosts, curses, stolen emotions, or reality itself. Between haunted markets, forbidden relics, and strange laws that govern the afterlife, the Raven Family navigates everyday problems the only way they know how: Poorly. A dark fantasy comedy about death, family, and the wonderfully strange things that happen after the end. 🖤 Welcome to the Raven Family. Try not to stay alive for too long.

Enter Elara Vance, who reveals the truth: the Codex is a prison for a demonic entity, and Alistair's rare "golden blood" makes him the key to containing it-or unleashing it.

About waiting for the right thing before you consume it. They are not what they appear to be. Cannibula Rasa is a slow-burn psychological horror about ideology as seduction, appetite as philosophy, and the moment a man realises the world he thought he understood has been quietly replaced by something else.

Katsuki Bakugo x Female Reader Post time skip "This all started in Japan. Their number 15 hero, name Dynamight, is the main hero in this case. His agency asked their Hero Public Safety Commission to reach out to us, and specifically asked for your assistance in this." That shocked you. You weren't a normal hero, you didn't occupy any space on the American hero charts. The CIA kept your presence a secret from the public as the type of things you dealt with also needed to be kept a secret from the public. Shit, this must be bad. Mx Ellias continued talking, "Right now, lucky for us, the occult hasn't made any moves in America. So, you will be transferred to Japan for the time being." When an evil coven of witches attempts to bring All for One back to life, who better to bring in than you? And when you need an angsty, sexy love interest, who better to bring in than Katsuki Bakugo? (shitty description, I'm aware. My deepest apologies, I have no idea what I am doing) TRIGGER WARNINGS: This book contains a suicide that is very important for the plot. This book will also contain adult language, gore, and various creepy things.

I accidentally almost killed someone with magic. My mother disappeared right after. And now I'm stuck in England with the grandmother she spent sixteen years warning me about. Tabetha Clarke is rich, terrifying, suspiciously wrinkle-free, and lives in a mansion full of silent servants who disappear when nobody's looking. Literally. Then there's the cat. The demon accusations. The midnight exorcisms. And the tiny little issue of my magic feeding off living things. Apparently, that's bad. Now everyone's acting like I'm either destined to become the most powerful witch in the family... or the reason it finally destroys itself. Personally, I'd just like one normal day and maybe a waffle that doesn't come with emotional trauma.
