Synopsis

When journalist Rhea Linden returns to the crumbling village of her childhood, she isn’t chasing a headline she’s chasing memory. A chapel that shouldn’t exist. A girl frozen in time. A house that exhales her name through its walls.
 
Sent to profile the town’s fading folklore, Rhea stumbles on a rumor that won’t let go: some children never cast shadows after dark. The locals dodge her questions. The records don’t add up. And something has been waiting for her to come back.
 
As she retraces the forgotten corners of her youth, what she once called imagination starts to feel real. Whispers slide through the floorboards. Dolls shift when she isn’t looking. A mirror reflects more than her face. Pages in her notebook fill with words she never wrote details only someone inside the house could know.
 
But the deeper she digs, the less certain she becomes. Is she the one documenting the story, or the one being written?
 
With reality bending under her feet and a presence shadowing every move, Rhea must confront what was left behind and what never let her go.
 
Some stories don’t end. They wait. And they write back.
 
Would you return to the place that erased you if it swore to tell the truth?
 
***
 
This novel is part of SHADOWKIN: The Shadow of Death, a chilling series of interconnected standalone paranormal thrillers, where every shadow hides a secret and every story brings you closer to the darkness.
 
In the hidden alleys of forgotten towns and the broken edges of memory, the Shadowkin wait. They’re not just creatures in the dark they’re shaped from guilt, grief, and the secrets we can’t bury.
 
SHADOWKIN: The Shadow of Death drags you into a world where walls breathe, shadows whisper, and silence presses like a weight. Each tale begins with a quiet unease and ends with a truth you don’t want to face: the Shadowkin aren’t strangers at all, but the pieces of ourselves we fear the most.
 
Enter these standalone stories where every truth cuts deeper, and every ending opens another door.

    Sometimes you can't go home, and that would've been just fine by me. 
 
 
 
I'm Hazel Kinsey, a special agent for the FBI, and I'm also a witch. Seventeen years earlier, I packed up my belongings and my squirrel familiar Tizzy, and I left my paranormal hometown of Paradise Falls for good. Or so I thought. 
 
 
 
When my best friend from high school, Lily Mason, calls and asks me to investigate her brother's murder, I can't say no. She was there for me during the worst time of my life, and it's my turn to return the favor, no matter the personal cost. 
 
 
 
Going home is harder than I imagined. My grumpy, hot high school crush, a bear shifter named Ford Baylor, has become a grumpy, hot police officer who's not happy to see me. Unfortunately, I can't stop thinking about him. All these years away, I imagined him married to his bear shifter sweetheart and living the white-picket-fence dream. But Ford is single, and he looks ready to strangle me. Apparently, I'm his mate. Who knew? 
 
 
 
On top of that, there's a sinister force at work in Paradise Falls, and I have to solve the mysterious murders happening around town if I want to prevent my best friend from becoming the next victim.

    She calls herself his wife. She kills to prove it.  
"Jyll and Jack went up the hill… and only Jyll came back."  
It’s been six years since Jack Steen walked away from Jyll Steen—the woman who believes she is his secret wife, the daughter of a killer, and now a killer herself. But Jyll never forgot.   
Not the Vegas weekend. Not the rejection. And not the secrets Jack carries in his midnight recordings.  
In her first letter, Jyll whispers her devotion in rhyme before confessing her latest crime: the abduction and unraveling of a man who reminded her just a little too much of Jack.   
Every detail is for him—every cut, every lie, every breath.  
Dear Jack: Love Letters from Your Serial Killer Wife begins here—with a vow written in blood, a souvenir meant just for him, and a chilling reminder that Jyll isn’t done. Not by a long shot.

    Some doors should never be opened, and some names should never be spoken aloud. 
In the isolated, decaying hamlet of Dunwich, Massachusetts, the sky is shadowed by deeply wooded mountains, and the locals whisper of things unseen. When the strange, goatish Wilbur Whateley is born, his rapid, unnatural growth and insatiable hunger for the forbidden dark magic of his ancestors sets off a chain of terrifying events. His quest to unlock the cursed pages of the legendary Necronomicon draws the attention of Miskatonic University's Dr. Henry Armitage. But a far greater monstrosity is growing within the boarded-up Whateley farmhouse—a formless, mountainous entity that threatens to break free and strip the earth of humanity entirely. As the invisible nightmare ravages the countryside, leaving massive devastation in its wake, a desperate battle for the survival of the planet begins on the altar-crowned summit of Sentinel Hill. 
You will love this classic of cosmic Horror for its creeping dread, masterful atmospheric tension, and unforgettable eldritch abominations. It perfectly balances chilling paranormal suspense with the macabre terror of a gothic rural New England setting. Fans of dark fantasy, occult fiction, and Cthulhu Mythos lore will find themselves completely paralyzed by its sinister soundscapes and apocalyptic stakes. 
H. P. Lovecraft (1890–1937) was an American writer who pioneered the weird fiction genre and created the legendary Cthulhu Mythos. His unparalleled ability to evoke the terrifying insignificance of mankind against a universe of unimaginable cosmic horrors cemented his legacy as one of the most influential authors of the twentieth century.

    The sea never forgets. The sea never forgives… 
Scuttler's Cove is a working village, nestling in dramatic coastal scenery in Cornwall, where life has gone on uninterrupted for centuries... until this seaside idyll was discovered by the rich. 
 
Now the quaint harbour-front cottages have been snapped up by second-homers and rental companies, and the locals can barely afford to live in their own town. 
 
It is a very different place for Merrin Moon, who left for university at the age of eighteen and never looked back. Now in her thirties, she returns to the Cove for the first time since, after the death of her mother. 
 
She soon discovers that there are forces at play in the village that she could never have imagined. Is someone trying to drive out the second homers? And has their arrival started a chain of events none of them will be able to stop? 
 
For something old and terrible is awakening beneath the town's hallowed ground. And with it comes a horror that the residents have fought for generations to keep a secret.
