Horrifying Tales of Haunted Place-(Will be Re-Published)

Horror stories written by Joseph Kohtz The Spooky Halloween Sleepover in The Haunted Woods: After a few of their friends go missing, a group of kids investigates The Dead Woods to find them. While there, they run into monsters and ghosts that pick them off. Since their friends are disappearing, they decide to have a sleepover in the haunted woods until they find them, but they soon all go missing after the hauntings intensify. Fear Itself: After being told a ghost story around the campfire, a group of kids attending the camp becomes terrified as ghosts and monsters haunt the camp and the surrounding forest. They become afraid of it, but some initially think it's all a prank by one of the counselors, even when the campers and counselors start to get picked off one by one. Even though things look bad, some campers still think it's a fraud, at least until things get worse. The longer they stay and ignore the ghosts' warnings, the worse the hauntings become. Then they become convinced and start to get scared out of their wits. The Ghoulish Haunted Mansion: On Halloween, a group of kids decides to venture inside an old, abandoned mansion to see if it's haunted, only to be scared out of their wits by all sorts of monsters and ghosts. While inside, the kids meet a talking cat and a jack-o-lantern who try to protect them from the spirits and convince one of them to read a spell from a book to banish the ghosts. Return to The Ghoulish Haunted Mansion: On a field trip, Susan Piper takes her class to The Wellington Mansion and tells how it was haunted before she banished the ghosts a decade ago on Halloween, with the help of her friends. She also told her class how to re-haunt the house and warned them not to do so. The next day, on Halloween, six of Susan's students enter the mansion, bring the ghosts and monsters back, and get scared out of their wits. Jack, the jack-o-lantern who knew their teacher, protects them with help from Alvin, the ghost puppy, and tries to convince Victoria to read the same spell Susan read when she was in the mansion to get rid of the ghosts.

The cat demon who escaped from fate

Xu Yang died.At least,that was supposed to be the end.When he opened his eyes again,he found himself lying in a cold forest,his body covered in wet black fur.He tried to move,but froze when he saw four small paws in front of him.He was a cat.Not just any black cat—a low-level cat demon inside a cultivation novel he had once read. A novel he never finished. Before Xu Yang can even process his new life,a cold voice suddenly sounds in his head. [System activated.] "...What?" [Host has been assigned nine lives.] Xu Yang blinks. [These lives are not blessings.] His smile disappears. "...What do you mean?" [Every life has a destined death.] "Excuse me?" [Death is mandatory.] Xu Yang stares into the distance. "Then why give me nine lives?!" [You may ask again after your first death.] "That's even worse!" And that's how Xu Yang discovers his new life comes with one very unfair condition: He is not allowed to live. Every life has a different path.Every death brings him closer to something he cannot yet understand.And every time he awakens again,the world changes in ways that shouldn't be possible. People forget him. Memories disappear. Events occur that were never written in the novel. Even the System begins behaving strangely. [Warning.] [Original storyline deviation detected.] "Can you fix it?" [No.] "Can you tell me what's happening?" [No.] "Then what are you useful for?" [Survival assistance.] "I'm starting to dislike you." [Acknowledged.] Unfortunately,the System is the least of Xu Yang's problems. The cultivation world is full of sects that hunt demons,immortals who hide their own secrets,and forces that seem to know more about his fate than he does. And somewhere along the way,Xu Yang realizes something is terribly wrong. His deaths aren't random. Someone or something is making sure each life ends exactly when it should.But fate makes one mistake.It leaves Xu Yang with the ability to choose what he does before he dies.So he starts changing things.One small choice then another.Until the story he once knew becomes unrecognizable. And the System gives him a final warning: [Host.] [You were never supposed to survive this long.] Xu Yang looks at the road ahead. "Then I guess Heaven should have written a better ending." Nine lives.Death is guaranteed. But Xu Yang has never been very good at following rules. First time writing fantasy story! Hope you enjoy:)

Owned in the Shadows - Matli Unicorn

Owned In The Shadows (The Kallias Dynasty - Book 1): A Forbidden Best Friend's Dad Age-Gap Romance An elite, high-angst MM billionaire age-gap romance about past obsessions, dangerous secrets, and the line between protection and possession. Book 1 of The Kallias Dynasty Three years ago on the Spanish coast, a single night altered the trajectory of two lives. For Hero, penniless and drowning in the wreckage of his late father’s debts, the enigmatic stranger on the luxury yacht was an escape—a temporary reprieve from a crushing reality. For Maximilian Kallias, a shipping magnate who built an empire on cold precision and ruthless control, the quiet, captivating boy was a rare, dangerous lapse in judgment. Before the sun rose over Puerto Banús, Maximilian vanished, leaving Hero with nothing but a phantom memory and a quiet ache that time couldn't dull. Now twenty-two and rebuilding his life on a scholarship, Hero believes the past is buried. When his closest friend, Elias, invites him to spend the summer at the Kallias family’s private estate in the Hamptons, it feels like a glimpse into a world Hero was never meant to inhabit. Then a brutal coastal storm strays him off course, stranding him before he reaches the gates. And the man who steps out of the shadow to pull him from the deluge isn't a stranger. It’s Maximilian. Powerful, possessive, and wearing a platinum wedding band, the billionaire head of the Kallias empire isn't just Hero’s elusive host. He is his best friend's father—and the man who took his heart three years ago. Trapped together as state authorities shut down the roads, the forced proximity pulls old embers into a suffocating fire. To Maximilian, coincidences do not exist; suspicious of Hero's sudden presence in his son's life, his instinct is to protect his family at all costs. Yet the intense, dark gravity pulling him toward Hero remains untouched by time. Bound by duty, separated by age and wealth, and hunted by the secrets they keep, staying apart is the only logical choice. But in the quiet isolation of the storm, logic is the first thing to burn. OWNED IN THE SHADOWS is Book 1 of The Kallias Dynasty series. It is an ongoing sequential story featuring Hero and Maximilian. Their journey begins here and continues in Part 2. Intended for mature readers.
