The House at Blackwood Lake
By @Rim Ben el mokhtar
Alexander Blackwood, a reclusive genius with an uncanny knack for psychological insight, orchestrates a weekend retreat at his isolated Blackwood Manor. His guests - Evelyn, Elena, Adrian, Clara, Nathaniel, and Victor - arrive under a veil of pretense, each harboring secrets. When Alexander himself is found murdered, the storm-lashed mansion becomes a gilded cage, trapping them with a killer among them. Now, Evelyn Hawthorne, a sharp-witted investigator, must race against time and the rising body count, using her observational prowess to dissect motives and alibis. The stakes are personal, the air thick with paranoia, as she realizes the killer isn't just eliminating guests; they're unraveling the very fabric of Blackwood's meticulously constructed game, exposing the darkest truths hidden within the manor's walls before the next life is claimed.

By @Natalia Harmon
In the grimy underbelly of 2026 New York, Felix, a ruthless twenty-year-old Korean murderer and thief, stalks the shadows. His world of calculated violence collides with Katlyn, a sixteen-year-old blind girl, a fragile blossom wilting under the oppressive hand of her abusers. Felix, drawn by a twisted sense of curiosity and a dark possessiveness, snatches her from the brink. He offers her a perverse sanctuary, a golden cage where his rules are law. Katlyn, desperate for any escape, finds herself entangled in his dangerous web, mistaking protection for affection. Can she see the true monster behind his chilling care, or will her blindness condemn her to a fate far darker than the one she fled?
