The Uninvited
Author:Lysander Grey
For Elias Vance, magic was a lifelong academic obsession—until he stole a mysterious book and read a passage aloud. A simple ritual, a simple knock on his door. In his cynical disbelief, he opened it to an empty hall. But the line he missed in the book now haunts him: *It must be invited in.* Now, Elias is not alone in his apartment. A silent, watchful entity from beyond has accepted his invitation, and the silence is about to break.

Ten-year-old Robbie is thrilled to visit his father's legendary movie studio, a place where nightmares are brought to life.

They call it the 'Animatronic Ossuary,' a graveyard for broken movie monsters. Driven by curiosity, Robbie uncovers a horrifying secret within its walls—a truth that will not only threaten his life but shatter the very foundation of his reality. He is not just a visitor; he is the main attraction.

Alex felt nothing at his great-aunt's funeral, a woman he'd never even met. But the family's strange whispers and a cousin's desperate, tearful embrace were just the beginning. Back home, he's haunted by sleepwalking episodes that leave him paralyzed before his bedroom mirror, stalked by a reflection that isn't his own.

Don't move when the lights flicker. Never look away from the man on Camera 6. Ignore the whispers from the vents.

The Foxfeather Curse

The woods are stirring again, the golden eyes are watching from the dark, and this time, Alex won't let them take another child.
