Story: Castle of the Damned
Genre: Horror/mystery
Chapters: 16 (ongoing)
Description: There's something wrong with the castle.
Perhaps the problem is the young owner, whose odd behaviour arouses suspicion in those around him. Perhaps it's the girl with the secrets and the voice in her head, haunted by the past, the future and something evil in the dark. Could it be the boy who never wanted all the complications he's faced with, holding on to crumbling friendships he's too afraid to let go of? Or is it the mysterious stalker in the night, trying to get to the bottom of an ancient mystery?
In the end, it doesn't matter. They're all damned just the same.
There's something wrong with the castle, and nobody knows why.
Warnings: Strong language, violence, death. Essentially, what you'd expect from a horror story.
Feedback preference: None. I'll take anything.
Average chapter length: 2K-2,5K words
Reading preferences: I'm open to reading anything.
Will read mature content: Yes.

Description: Fitness-trainer, Winston, settled in Corbeau Woods for a quiet life with his husband, free of the superstition and madness of his childhood.

Warnings: A bit of swearing, some description of murder victims with a bit of gore though more than I'd write in an adventure story.
