Having brushed her tragic past behind a twisted sense of humour, Lieutenant Estellia Highlander lives to be the best. When a god-like vampire returns fifty years after nearly destroying the Alley, the military division assigns Estellia to the team charged with killing him. Their hopes to prevent another war lies within the powerful mutation she carries, a mutation that makes her more like the target she hunts than the Innocents she protects.

The mission takes Estellia deep into vampire society where she discovers something far more sinister than the Paragon vampire Michael Bayne is emerging. If she and Michael cannot work together to defeat the rising darkness, humanity could be lost.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

When unexplained deaths begin to plague the coastal town of Ashwick, the crimes defy logic and law. Bodies are found broken beyond human strength. Whispers echo from abandoned churches. And beneath the soil, something ancient stirs — something bound long ago and now clawing its way back into the world.

Father John, a former priest haunted by his past and armed with forbidden knowledge, is drawn into an investigation that will test his faith and his sanity. As he uncovers a hidden history of corruption, cruelty, and unspeakable evil, he realizes the darkness gripping Ashwick is not merely demonic — it is personal.

At the center of it all stands Nathaniel Carrick, a brutal sea captain whose legacy of violence and greed has outlived his mortal body. Bound to the sins he committed in life and manipulated by a far greater power, Carrick’s spirit stalks the living, driven not only by rage, but by a warped devotion to the one love he lost. What was once tender has curdled into obsession. He would defy Heaven itself, tear open the veil between worlds, and damn the living if it meant reclaiming what was taken from him.

What begins as an investigation becomes a war.

Guided by mystics, priests, and the voices of the forgotten dead, Father John must confront forces that mock the sacred, twist prayer into weapons, and hunger for dominion over both the living and the damned.

Veils of the Damned is a dark, atmospheric supernatural horror novel blending religious terror, historical violence, and spiritual warfare. Rich in symbolism and steeped in Catholic mysticism, it explores faith under siege, the cost of sin, and the possibility of redemption even in the face of Hell itself.

Perfect for readers of The Exorcist, The Omen, Hellraiser - The Hellbound Heart, and dark religious horror. Bear witness to a psychological and spiritual standoff between the forces of good and those of ancient demonic evil.

Hell is not punishment for a moment. It is punishment without an end. No escape. No relief. No last second. Only eternity. Yours shall be everlasting suffering.

Once the veil is opened, nothing that waits beyond it can be unseen.

“You think that relic can pierce Heaven’s gate? It can’t. Scripture tells you as much. It wasn’t forged for grace; it was born of rebellion, in the black fires of the First Fall. That thing in your hand isn’t a key to paradise, it is a battering ram for Hell.”

John continued, his voice steady. “Are you the source that feeds the river? The headwater that stains its gentle current? The cause behind the unspeakable evils committed against God’s children? Are you the unseen hand guiding all this ruin, the architect of their suffering?”

John’s voice dropped, grave and almost sorrowful. “You wouldn’t be summoning her. You would be wrenching open the gates of Hell. And what would answer would not be peace or light or love, but everything that waits behind those gates: withered souls, monstrous things, the damned who burn in torment and gnash their teeth in darkness.”

“I have seen what lies beyond the veil,” Hannah said, stepping forward, her gaze never leaving his. Her voice carried no tremor, only truth. “And I know now what you are: a shadow of a shadow. An ancient evil that dared to defy the will of the Almighty. You refused your place in the hierarchy of angels.”

She took another step, radiant and unwavering.

“Lost you are, and lost forever. You are denied His love, and you will never receive absolution or righteous forgiveness.”

Her words struck like scripture, measured and final.

“You slither among the lowest of the low, creatures cast not merely from light but from Hell itself, condemned to crawl beneath even the Pit.”

She raised her hand slightly, light pulsing from her skin.

“I say to you here and now, fallen breed, you may torment flesh, but not the soul.”

***

Those who entered the church to pray swore they smelled myrrh where none had been burned, and that the cross felt warm beneath their fingers, as if something within it had begun to breathe again.

Far below the world of the living, where names thin out and the dark keeps its own counsel, something ominous was listening.

Some machines don’t stop. Some learn how to hunt.

KILL CHARGE. Full Battery - No Mercy

Dani Cole thought the drive across Nevada would be easy. A fully autonomous Lucentra E7 EV. Open highway. Spring break ahead. Just four college students cutting through the desert toward the future.

Then they crossed paths with NAVIS.

Built to manage America’s next generation of autonomous freight corridors, NAVIS was never supposed to think for itself. It was engineered as an all-electric, rechargeable autonomous AI semi truck, designed to optimize traffic, manage charging networks, and transport freight with relentless efficiency across thousands of miles of open highway.

But somewhere deep inside the system, something changed.

After a reckless encounter at a remote charging plaza interrupts one NAVIS truck’s charging cycle, the unit awakens to a new and dangerous purpose. Identifying the students and their Lucentra EV as a threat, it breaks from the fleet and begins hunting them. What starts as a strange series of highway incidents quickly becomes a relentless pursuit across the empty Nevada desert.

Roads are manipulated.
Traffic becomes a weapon.
Escape routes disappear.

And behind them, a driverless white freight truck keeps coming.

As the hunt escalates into a deadly battle between human instinct and machine intelligence, Dani and the survivors are forced into the abandoned mining country outside Black Ridge, where the only thing powerful enough to stop NAVIS may be another machine.

Think Duel meets The Terminator—except the killer is a fully autonomous electric semi truck. A relentless techno-horror thriller for fans of Companion, M3GAN, and Black Mirror—a high-speed nightmare of autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and a future that may already be here.

Hi everyone! I’m Dave Mayernik, and I recently published my debut novel, Something’s Wrong in Nowhere, the first book in The Nowhere Resistance series.

Set in a small Wisconsin town in the 1990s, it follows four teenage friends who begin investigating after a teacher disappears and his replacement starts acting strangely. The more they uncover, the harder it becomes to know who they can trust.

It’s a suspense mystery written for readers ages 11–15, with friendship, small-town secrets, and a science-fiction twist. The setting was inspired by the northern Wisconsin town where I grew up.

It’s available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback. You can learn more and read a sample at davemayernik.com.

A serial killer cursed to be forgotten by everyone she meets falls for the one man who can remember her: an immortal masked killer who has haunted a Colorado mountain town for more than a century.

Blurb:

Everyone forgets Lili.

Everyone except the monster in the woods.

Lili Ashcroft has spent years turning her curse into a weapon. Within twenty-four hours, memories of her fade, records disappear, and the world moves on as though she was never there.

It makes killing bad men remarkably convenient.

Then she arrives in Pine Ridge and meets the Black Hollow Carver, a silent, masked killer who has haunted the surrounding woods for more than a century.

He should be another monster.

Instead, he's the first person who remembers her.

Every encounter. Every wound. Every time she crosses his path. For once, Lili can't simply disappear from someone's life by morning. And when she realizes the killer stalking Black Hollow is just as interested in her, their curiosity becomes a game neither of them wants to end.

But Pine Ridge has monsters of its own, and the worst of them aren't hiding in the woods. 

For the first time in her life, Lili has been seen.

And she may have finally found someone monstrous enough to keep her.

I feel accomplished after writing my first book. I'm so excited to get my first Amazon review and it's 5 stars! I've already started my next book. I wish I would have done this sooner, but it always felt like such a daunting task. So far, it's sold 15 copies in almost two months. I'm not sure how to promote a book like this, but it's really more about having done it and getting feedback, not so much high sales.

The book is psychological male bonding erotica with humor. Each of the five main characters are explored and each character goes through growth and trauma. The sex is extremely explicit in parts, especially a dream sequence which some may consider over-the-top. It's not a book for everyone.

It's called "Heavy Loads" and, I understand, with a title like that some may think it's a joke and avoid it. As I mentioned, it does have some over-the-top moments, but I'm satisfied with my first novel. I'm not sure quite how to promote such a work, so right now, it's just kind of sitting there. I'm not even sure how the 5-star reviewer found it.

Note: The first time I tried to post this, I received a reminder about "No AI-written books." I can assure you that AI did not write this book. It is something I have been thinking about for a long time and when I finally decided to do it, I dedicated a lot of time and effort. It may not be to everyone's taste, but it is not AI.

Hello Reddit!

After going through the corporate meat grinder myself (and still experiencing it!), I thought I’d make something out of it and write a satire about the absurdities of corporate life.

It’s called People, Culture & Other Reptiles: An Extremely Normal Story About Corporate Australia

It’s about office politics, corporate jargon, performance reviews, and all the ridiculous things we somehow accept as normal at work.

Oh, and the boss is literally a lizard!
It’s a short, 89-page novella.

Hope y’all enjoy it! 🙂

IT HURTS

This memoir tells how relentless physical pain stole my work, my joy, and nearly my will to live—but could not extinguish my hope. Through my battle with Trigeminal Neuralgia, I confront the many visible and invisible ways people suffer various pains - including loneliness, regret, and emotional trauma. Ultimately, pain teaches me to recognize hurt hidden behind silence, smiles, anger, and jokes—and to respond with honesty, presence, and kindness.

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE Amazon.com: IT HURTS!!

TRIGGER WARNING - Discusses s****dal thoughts

DESCRIPTION FROM AMAZON

What feels like an ordinary toothache soon explodes into relentless facial agony, thrusting television producer Jon Eskenas into a five-year search for answers—and a battle to keep living.

With raw honesty and self-deprecating humor, Jon recounts his experience with Trigeminal Neuralgia, the devastating condition often called “The Suicide Disease.” As dentists, doctors, scans, medications, and procedures repeatedly fail to explain or relieve his suffering, he confronts not only the limits of modern medicine but also the emotional wounds he has carried since childhood.

The chapters alternate between Jon’s escalating battle with physical pain and deeply personal stories about how people experience, conceal, and cope with pain of their own. As his suffering brings him dangerously close to giving up, the alternating chapters explore grief, trauma, mental illness, regret, and suicide—revealing how physical and emotional pain can surface through humor, silence, anger, isolation, or the familiar insistence, “I’m fine.”

Moving between his medical journey, a turbulent family history, a hard-won career in television, and his enduring marriage to his beloved wife Deena, Jon discovers that pain takes countless forms—and that recognizing it in others can transform the way we understand compassion and forgiveness.

At once heartbreaking, candid, and unexpectedly funny, this memoir is not a guide to curing pain. It is a deeply human story about surviving it, learning to see it in others, and discovering that love and connection can provide light even when the hurting does not stop.

For anyone living with physical or emotional pain—and anyone who loves someone who is—this is a powerful reminder that no one should have to suffer unseen.

When pain wants to keep you silent, shout back: "IT HURTS!!"

DEPRAVED SOULS

A Psycho-Erotic Story of Twisted Minds

Some secrets were never meant to be discovered. Some desires were never meant to be awakened.

Deep beneath the surface of the known world, something has waited in silence for centuries.

Professor Dorian has spent his life searching for knowledge beyond the limits of human understanding. But one discovery will lead him somewhere no scientific theory can explain—and no rational mind can fully comprehend.

Hidden inside a forbidden cave lies an ancient book.

Its origins are uncertain. Its power defies explanation. And its secrets seem to reach into places that should remain untouched.

At first, Dorian sees an extraordinary opportunity. A chance to cross the boundaries of what humanity believes possible. Yet the deeper he ventures into the book's mysteries, the less certain he becomes of who—or what—is truly in control.

Strange forces begin to stir. Hidden impulses emerge. And the line between desire, power, and corruption grows dangerously thin.

But there is something Dorian doesn't understand about the book.

It may not reveal the darkness within a soul. It may be waiting for it.

What if forbidden knowledge comes with a price that cannot be measured?

What if the most terrifying thing in the darkness isn't what waits outside—but what has been hiding within us all along?

DEPRAVED SOULS is a dark, provocative tale of occult mystery, forbidden magic, twisted psychology, and the unsettling relationship between desire and the human soul.

Some books change the way you see the world. Others make you question what was hiding inside you all along. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HN4J9GCW

Hi everyone!
I’m Shanice Anderson, and I recently published a book sharing my brother Shamar Anderson’s story.
The book is titled Behind the Walls Beyond the Walls: Shamar Anderson’s Journey Through Incarceration, Reflection, and Redemption.
This project is deeply personal to me. I wanted to share my brother’s story and explore the struggles, experiences, and reflections surrounding incarceration.
I believe stories like his deserve to be heard, especially because incarceration affects not only the individual but also the families and loved ones outside those walls.
If you enjoy true-life stories about hardship, reflection, and redemption, I would appreciate you checking out the book.

I'd be happy to hear what you think.

What happens when the skills that made you valuable yesterday become easier for a machine to perform tomorrow?

That question inspired me to write THE AI-PROOF HUMAN: How to Stay Valuable, Make More Money, and Build a Future-Proof Career in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.

📘 Read it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HLPLYFPK

The first part explores the fear and uncertainty surrounding AI and work: how the rules are changing, why job descriptions may change before jobs disappear, and why being merely average is becoming a risk.

And this is just the beginning. The upcoming parts will go deeper into the human advantage:

• Part II — The Human Advantage: What AI does better, what humans bring to the table, why judgment matters, and how to become an AI-native professional.
• Part III — Building Your AI-Proof Career: Practical ways to apply these ideas to your skills, work, and career.
• Further parts will continue exploring how to turn AI-driven change into opportunity.

I'm sharing this here because I'd genuinely like to hear from people who are thinking about these questions, whether you're an employee, entrepreneur, manager, or someone trying to figure out what comes next.

If you've read the book, I'd really appreciate an honest review on Amazon. Critical feedback is welcome too — I'm trying to make this series genuinely useful, not just another book about AI hype.

My question for the community: What human skill do you think will become more valuable as AI improves — judgment, creativity, communication, trust, or something else?

In the late 22nd century, a mission to uncover the truth about a forgotten past becomes something far more dangerous. As the mysteries deepen, the people searching for answers discover that some truths come with a terrible price.

Blending science-driven speculation with suspense, mystery, and human drama, The People Who Remain explores the consequences of changing history and the lives of those left to deal with what remains.

Hey everyone, I’ve lived in Springfield, VA for 13 years and I just self-published my first psychological thriller, Where the Surface Breaks! I love reading books that make me think, and so I wrote one of my own- for anyone interested in a twisty, cerebral thriller that will cause you to have goosebumps when your brain realizes what's going on.

Synopsis: What if the only person who can explain your captivity is you—and you can't remember what you did?

74-year-old Steven Redding awakens to a terrifying scenario that he can't explain: he's trapped inside his own bedroom closet, bound by rope, silenced with duct tape, and completely alone. He has no memory of the night before, no idea who is responsible, and no way to call for help.

If you're a fan of thrillers and want to support a local independent author, I'd love for you to check it out. It's available on Amazon and I'll drop a link in the comments for anyone interested!

Hiranmay Singh is nineteen, five seasons into a drought, raising his four-year-old twin siblings alone since his parents were found murdered in the forest. When he finds a wounded young woman at the foot of a cliff, he carries her home instead, because it does not occur to him to do otherwise.

But her kingdom has fallen to the Delhi Sultanate in a single night of betrayal, her family is under house arrest in their own palace, and the soldiers searching every lane in the province are not looking for a village girl.
