Crypt G - The Castle Kept Its Secrets Too Well

J. K. Maddox

Sinopse

When an emotionally bruised historian is summoned to a forgotten castle buried in the Black Forest, he believes it's for a routine restoration project. What he finds is a ruin untouched by time—its rooms preserved, its furniture undisturbed, and its secrets sealed behind silence and shadows.

Drawn to the faded grandeur and eerie quiet, he begins reconstructing the estate’s lost legacy. Yet, as old journals resurface and strange symbols echo across the stone halls, he starts to doubt what he’s remembering—and what he’s forgetting. A woman’s lullaby echoes where no voice should remain. A spiral mark appears in places no hand has touched.

As the archivist pieces together the tragic fall of a reclusive family and their obsession with silence, the castle begins to rewrite his own memories. Why does he dream of rooms he hasn't entered? Who sent the invitation sealed in wax? And why does the name Marten always linger just out of reach?

In this atmospheric Gothic thriller of decayed beauty and haunted legacies, nothing is stable—not time, not memory, not even the truth. Some places were never meant to be archived.

What happens when you dig too deep into a past that remembers you back?

Each book carries a cryptic letter in its title. Read to the end, and you may glimpse what it truly stands for. Together, they form a haunting tapestry bound by one truth: the dead never rest quietly.

Strung

Per Jacobsen

Author Randall Morgan is on his way home after spending fourteen days in the secluded cabin where he always goes to write the endings of his books. However, when he arrives in his hometown, East Alin, he is greeted by a disturbing sight. 
At a traffic light near the city limits, someone has turned a lamppost into a makeshift gallows, and in it a man–dead and decomposing–hangs. 
The sight of the hanged man is terrifying in itself, but it soon dawns on Randall that there are other–and far greater–problems in the small town. Because while he is waiting in his car for the police to show up, several people pass by the crime scene - and not a single one of them reacts to the fact that a dead man is hanging in the middle of the street. 
Something has gone completely wrong in East Alin while Randall has been away.
