Book Description
Papa says everyone has a story that deserves to be told. Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers. Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew. Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out. For some, they're nothing more than the vestiges left behind-a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree. My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth. Juniper Unraveling is a full-length standalone romance set in a post-apocalyptic world.

Pages : 89
Book Description
In the heart of a dense, ancient forest, there stood a cabin shrouded in darkness, an abyss of secrets waiting to be unraveled. It was a place of serenity, a haven away from the chaos of the world, or so Daniel thought. He and his wife, Sarah, decided to escape their mundane lives for a vacation in this rustic cabin, hoping to rekindle their dwindling connection. Daniel, a brilliant songwriter known for his haunting melodies, longed for inspiration, and this remote retreat seemed like the perfect place to find it. Yet, the cabin's eerie silence only intensified the unease he carried with him. From the moment they arrived, an overwhelming feeling of dread began to creep upon him, his soul whispering that the dark had always been his greatest adversary. On the first night, they cozied up by the roaring fireplace, the flames casting flickering shadows that seemed to dance to the rhythm of the howling wind outside. Daniel strummed his guitar, seeking refuge in his music. But as the melody flowed from his fingers, it carried with it an eerie resonance, as if the forest itself was singing along, an audience of unseen spirits. The second night brought with it a tempestuous storm, the thunderclaps shaking the cabin to its very foundation. Daniel awoke to find Sarah missing. Panic gripped his heart, and he called out her name, his voice echoing through the cabin's empty chambers, but there was no response. Outside, the relentless rain blurred the world into obscurity, and the dark forest seemed to devour all sound. The oppressive darkness became Daniel's only companion, pressing down on him like a heavy cloak, its suffocating presence making it impossible to think clearly. He stumbled through the cabin, every shadow morphing into a nightmarish specter, each creaking floorboard a tormenting whisper. The oppressive stillness was broken only by the sound of his heartbeat, which reverberated through the cabin like a relentless drumbeat. Desperation led him into the forest, rain-soaked and trembling, but the dense canopy seemed to absorb any trace of his surroundings. Time itself became a nebulous concept, and the cabin, a distant memory. Daniel was a lost soul wandering in a surreal nightmare, where the dark was both his tormentor and his muse. As the days turned into weeks, he struggled to distinguish reality from the hallucinations that plagued his every step. The cabin became a prison of nightmares, and the forest, a labyrinth of despair. His songs became unhinged, a chaotic symphony of madness, and the shadows clung to him like a curse. The story of Daniel and Sarah, the songwriter and his lost wife, faded into the annals of legend, a chilling tale told to those who dared venture into the heart of that ancient forest. For in that cabin, the boundaries between reality and nightmare blurred, and the dark devoured not only the light but the very essence of those who dared to enter its realm.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 802
Book Description
One of those rare, unforgettable novels that are as chilling as they are insightful, as thought-provoking as they are terrifying, award-winning author Connie Willis's Passage is an astonishing blend of relentless suspense and cutting-edge science unlike anything you've ever read before. It is the electrifying story of a psychologist who has devoted her life to tracking death. But when she volunteers for a research project that simulates the near-death experience, she will either solve life's greatest mystery -- or fall victim to its greatest terror. At Mercy General Hospital, Dr. Joanna Lander will soon be paged -- not to save a life, but to interview a patient just back from the dead. A psychologist specializing in near-death experiences, Joanna has spent two years recording the experiences of those who have been declared clinically dead and lived to tell about it. It's research on the fringes of ordinary science, but Joanna is about to get a boost from an unexpected quarter. A new doctor has arrived at Mercy General, one with the power to give Joanna the chance to get as close to death as anyone can. A brilliant young neurologist, Dr. Richard Wright has come up with a way to manufacture the near-death experience using a psychoactive drug. Dr. Wright is convinced that the NDE is a survival mechanism and that if only doctors understood how it worked, they could someday delay the dying process, or maybe even reverse it. He can use the expertise of a psychologist of Joanna Lander's standing to lend credibility to his study. But he soon needs Joanna for more than just her reputation. When his key volunteer suddenly drops out of the study, Joanna finds herself offering to become Richard's next subject. After all, who better than she, a trained psychologist, to document the experience? Her first NDE is as fascinating as she imagined it would be -- so astounding that she knows she must go back, if only to find out why this place is so hauntingly familiar. But each time Joanna goes under, her sense of dread begins to grow, because part of her already knows why the experience is so familiar, and why she has every reason to be afraid.... And just when you think you know where she is going, Willis throws in the biggest surprise of all -- a shattering scenario that will keep you feverishly reading until the final climactic page is turned.
