Whispers Noir - A House Abandoned But Not Silent

J. K. Maddox

Sinopse

After a public breakdown wrecks his screenwriting career, Calvin Reade retreats to the one place he swore off forever his childhood home in the woods of Maine. The house has been untouched since the fire that killed his mother decades ago. But it hasn’t been silent.

Determined to face the past and finish the script that’s stalked him for years, Calvin finds the place eerily preserved yet alive with memory. Script pages appear in his study that he never wrote. Old footage surfaces that shouldn’t exist. And behind a sealed door, a piano plays itself in the dark.

As dreams bleed into daylight and family truths unravel, Calvin starts to wonder if the story he’s been chasing is his to tell at all or if something else is rewriting it for him.

A gothic domestic thriller where memory warps, identity slips, and the past refuses to stay buried.

What if the biggest lie isn’t what you forgot, but what you chose to remember?

***

In REVERB!, twelve standalone supernatural thrillers explore the thin line between what’s spoken and what should never be said. Each story throws you into a haunted place an abandoned house, a cursed forest, a town left to rot where one whisper sets off a chain of unraveling memory and truth.

Grieving parents, obsessed investigators, fractured lovers, strangers with no way out every character faces a descent that’s as personal as it is terrifying. These aren’t just ghost stories. They’re psychological collisions, where what’s buried claws back, and the voices in the dark don’t ask to be understood. They want to be obeyed.

With layered suspense, creeping dread, and twists that linger, REVERB! pulls you to the edge and dares you to listen. Because once the whisper begins, it doesn’t stop.

Asylum Confessions The: Killers...

Jack Steen

They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
But first, they give me their confessions. 
My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers - among other things. 
Here's what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There's a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven't told anyone else. 
The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head. 
Now, maybe they're messing with yours too. 
Inside this book are 5 confessions: 
One thought she gave birth to the antichrist. 
One has the nickname of The Candyman - any guesses why? 
One grew up in a cult and believes he's the first of a 'pure' race. 
Another was part of a secret government test, and I've been waiting for his confession for a while! 
Then there's this kid who loved Halloween and believed in all the rules. I sure hope you didn't break any... 
WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers, and such, so what do you expect?

The Night Ocean

H.P. Lovecraft, Robert H. Barlow

A quiet, contemplative tale steeped in atmosphere and artistic beauty. A painter retreats to a seaside cottage in search of rest and inspiration, but soon begins to sense strange presences along the shore and beneath the waves. Are they ghosts, sea ghouls, or beings older than time itself? The answers drift just out of reach, like mist over the ocean. 
The story focuses on the sensations and intuitions of the main character, imbuing the whole narrative with an evocative taste of elusive dread, quite distinct from overt horror. The Night Ocean has long been part of the Lovecraftian canon, even though a manuscript discovered in the early 2000s, with Lovecraft’s revisions, reveals that only 10% of ‘The Night Ocean’ can be attributed to the writer from Providence. This realization underscores how sensitive and precocious the eighteen-year-old Robert H. Barlow was at the time. 
It stands as the last existing work of fiction in which Lovecraft participated.
