He dubbed himself the Rat King when he foresaw the rodents crawling on his corpse, weaving in and out of his garments like a sensation, like a disease. Now he waits for them down in the ornate sewer home he fashioned. It is a fickle thing, the premonition of one's own death. It does strange things to the mind. They think him mad. She is the Rat King's Mute: beautiful and hideous, alluring and repulsive, fascinating, and yet, forgettable. A complimenting conjecture. Rumors have flourished in the dark; in those empty chasms he chose the arched halls and hidden rooms as an escape from the changing world around him. It will crumble only when the Pied Piper stops playing-and the rats return. _____________________________________________ Highest ranking: #345 in Paranormal 2/5/2018 Please note: violence, blood, sexual themes, and coarse language will appear in The Rat King.

They say the dead never speak. But in the kingdom of Naveer, they scream. When a dying woman is found near the quiet mountain town of Isaz, strange things begin to stir: corpses vanish, shadows whisper, and a curse spreads across the land. Rose, Mayor Thomas's sharp-minded daughter, thinks her greatest pain is losing her best friend--until the dead start to rise. With the help of Prince Ivan, noble Captain Luther Armstrong, and the elusive Great Mage Isaac, Rose sets out to uncover the darkness infecting the kingdom of Naveer. But cursed forests and bloodthirsty creatures are only the beginning. The Moranum-a secretive faction of rogue mages-are moving in the shadows, determined to dismantle the Celestial Order and reshape the magic that governs the world. As war looms and betrayals mount, Rose is haunted by visions from the Dream Realm she can't explain and a growing power that defies everything she's been taught. Her connection to the gods may be the key to saving the four kingdoms...or destroying them. The Kingdom of Night is rising. And Rose might be the only one who can stop it.

Camila Rouen has always felt misplaced in her world - like she's living in the wrong century, trapped in a life that doesn't quite fit. She isn't depressed, she isn't dramatic, she just feels wrong here. Surrounded by modern chaos and concrete cities, she finds comfort only in books - the old ones, the ones that smell of another life. One night, while rereading Dracula, something shifts. Time fractures. When she wakes, the air tastes of dust and roses. The world is dimly lit by candlelight. And a man - pale, ancient, haunted - looks at her like she's the ghost of his salvation. But Camila isn't supposed to be here. Not in this century. Not in this story. And yet... everything feels terrifyingly, beautifully familiar. Inspired by "Dracula: The Love Tale (2025)" and the 1992 classic

Hello and welcome to the dimly lit corner of my decaying world. I'm your lovely host, Belinda Ravenscough. As the title implies, this is the extraordinary story about my perfectly ordinary life of witchcraft and seances, burning effigies of my enemies and getting frisky in the morgue, sticking pins in voodoo dolls and flirting with Death, among many other morbid delights.

Midnight, 1950s. A small-town diner glows against the dark, neon humming, coffee steaming. Kat, the young waitress, works the graveyard shift, pouring cup after cup for strangers who never quite belong. But the Midnight Café is not an ordinary stop on the road. Every customer brings a story with them, stories of highways that never end, shadows that follow too closely, ghosts that wait for you to blink. Some are confessions. Some are hauntings. Some are judgments. Kat listens, half-waitress, half-confessor, never sure if she's serving the living or the dead. And as the nights stretch on, she begins to wonder if the diner itself is a crossroads between this world and the next. Black Coffee is a literary horror serial where every chapter begins with an order and ends with a silence you cannot shake. New chapters every Monday!

Love can heal, haunt... or merge you into something unrecognisable. Lucy ran away from everything - her abusive parents, her broken past, and the boy who once made her believe in angels. But Peter wasn't an angel. He was the devil she couldn't escape. When she finally tries to rebuild her life, a mysterious experimental project called Eden promises healing through "reflected memory therapy." What Lucy doesn't know is that she's being used - her mind the perfect vessel for a consciousness that should have died long ago. As trauma, love, and guilt intertwine, Lucy begins to see Peter in every mirror, every voice, every dream. And the deeper she falls into the project, the more she starts to question: Is Peter really gone... or has he found a way to live inside her? Meanwhile, Dr. Ava Morgan - the woman assigned to save Lucy - becomes trapped in the same haunting loop of memories. Their realities begin to merge, until one terrifying truth becomes clear: Reflection doesn't mean duplication. It means recognition. And some reflections don't want to let go. A chilling psychological romantic drama about trauma, identity, and the dangerous shape love can take when it refuses to die. "Sometimes, the person you're running from lives inside you."
