Sinopse

THE BLACK FOREST

When Jack and Madeleine embark on a fateful drive through the notorious Black Forest, they unwittingly step into a malevolent realm beyond human comprehension. Their journey quickly transforms into a harrowing race against time as a raging storm bears down on them.

Seeking shelter from the tempest, they come upon an ancient castle deep in the woods. Within its shadowy chambers, eerie portraits seem to follow them and phantom footsteps approach their bed after the clock strikes midnight. Jack and Madeleine flee the haunted castle, only for it to vanish without a trace behind them. Even their parked Jeep had disappeared.

As if summoned, twelve gruesome monsters emerge from the darkness, surrounding them with knives glinting in the moonlight. Resigned to their grim fate, Jack and Madeleine share a final moment of love, before her scream pierces the silence.

When two student geologists, James and Pierre, hear this chilling tale, they set out to unravel the mystery. Their expedition into the Black Forest quickly turns ominous as a fatal bend in the road vanishes before their eyes. With two mysteriously punctured tires, they spot a dilapidated farmhouse and enter, discovering a set table awaiting phantom diners.

A blood-curdling scream echoes, luring James entranced down the cellar steps. When the entrance slams shut, trapping them inside, Pierre’s flashlight reveals werewolf-like monsters with claws outstretched. Their fate seems sealed as screams give way to violent sounds of carnage.

These parallel tales of terror in the Black Forest will have your pulse racing. What is the source of the unspeakable evil that claims some victims while allowing others to live? Uncover the shocking truth woven throughout this masterfully crafted supernatural thriller.

The Mandeville Shadow - Totally...

Callie Langridge

“Bewitching! I was so into this series that I lost track of time… Everything was perfect – emotions, heartbreak, drama and long-lost memories.” Reader review, ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1935. Kate Durrant is helping her mother move out of the little cottage her parents used to share, until her father’s heartbreaking death. Full of guilt that she couldn’t visit her dad in his last moments, Kate now has only memories for company. Memories and… something else. Since she was a small child, Kate has been able to see and feel the history of objects she touches. She’s always kept her gift secret, not knowing fully what it is, or how far it goes.

One evening, while visiting her father’s grave, Kate wanders into the shadowy woods behind the church. Following the mossy paths, she realises she’s lost her way just as she stumbles upon the wrought-iron gates of Hill House, home to the illustrious Mandeville family.

Welcomed in and offered a position on the staff as a housemaid, Kate discovers that all is not right within the walls of the splendid manor house. As her gift begins to unspool the history of the Mandeville’s home, she realises that an unspeakable tragedy is fated to befall the family heir. Kate also grows increasingly close to Bertie Morrison, the Estate Manager who has known Hill House his whole life. With the family oblivious to their desperate peril, Bertie helps Kate understand her deepening connection to the Mandevilles.

With Halloween approaching – when the veil between worlds is at its thinnest – a special visitor from the house’s past appears just as a shadow falls over Hill House.

The clock is ticking… will Kate's unique gift, combined with the strength of a new love and a timeless love from beyond the grave, be enough to save the Mandeville legacy?
