The Beautiful Trapped Ghost (BWWM) by KassandraVivu

Liam left everything that he knew behind, his house, the neighborhood he lived in, and the city that he knew. Why? Because he needed a change. He needed a fresh start; he couldn't handle the gossips anymore, the neighbors whispering behind his back, the failed relationship that ended with a heartache for him and not his ex. He needed to be in a new area where no one knew what happened; no one knew the suffering he went through. So what does Liam do? He packs his things, sells his house, old furniture, and buys a new home in an area he's never even been in or heard of. Everything should go perfectly, right? This fresh start. Not quite, Liam has an unwanted guest in his new house, and this guest doesn't want to leave; she seems to be telling him that it's her house and not his. She's mistaken; this house was Liams. After all, he's purchased it for an excellent price and has moved all his new things in there. She's the one that needs to go, not him. So why is it that Liam is unable to kick her out of his home? Why is it that she won't leave?! or is it that she can't go. Strange things start to occur in Liam's new home, something that shouldn't be happening, spooky things, things that would happen in horror movies, and Liam doesn't know what to do. He starts to panic; he's the only one panicking; the unwanted guest, on the other hand, just stares at him with a smile as she throws her head back, letting out a chilling laugh. "We'll see who ends up leaving, because I am not going anywhere." She says.

The Dead Don't Speak | Open Novella Contest 2020 | ✔ by bigfivedonaldduckfan

Surviving in juvenile prison? Tough. Surviving in juvenile prison with the added bonus of seeing ghosts? Tougher. Bailey has a sixth sense, a criminal record and no appetite for trouble; serving a year-long prison sentence already sucks enough in and of itself. If only the spirits would leave her in peace. A strange warning, an inexplicable injury, a disturbing message written on her cell's wall in blood: Bailey has no choice but to conclude a ghost is out to get her. To save her life, she must find out why. But in a place where restriction is everything and escape impossible, that may be harder than it seems. ~ONC 2020 shortlister and honourable mention~ ~Featured on 'Die Young, Stay Pretty' reading list on @Horror~ -Featured on 'Horror/Paranormal' reading list on @CommunityTeam~ ~Featured on 'Life after death' reading list on @Paranormal~ ~Featured on 'Wicked little creatures' reading list on @TeenFiction~ ~Featured on 'I see dead people' on @fright~ ~Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered, may 2022~ ~Featured on 'The Rebels' reading list on @Badassreads~ ~Amby Awards 2023 Top Pick~ Written for ONC 2020.

Wrong Side of the Coffin: A WIPpersnappers Anthology by VictorSerranoWriting

Maybe you're thinking of joining the fang club. Sure, why wouldn't you? So many stories out there make it seem like a great deal - all dinner jackets or gothic gowns, lavish castles, and supernatural powers that let you rule the darkness. Not so fast. Vampirism has its own trials and tribulations. Stick around. Read these stories. If they don't change your mind, at least they'll prepare you for some of the unexpected realities of undead existence.

The Daylight Room and other short stories by michaeljdawson

'You should write a story about that.' It's a line that writers hear a lot, a bit like comedians in a bar being told. 'Here's a joke for you.' Best to smile politely and change the subject or get a round in. There are occasions when I didn't do either, and there will be occasions I don't do that in the future. These stories are and will be the result. I also include the background to the story for the curious but I'll keep the identities secret. I don't want you chasing them down in search of ideas for your next novel. :) The Daylight Room: A very young boy understands that what he did was wrong. What he doesn't understand is that the punishment is much, much wronger.
