Featured on @fright and @crime | A funny take on the serious lives of the people in Mona's life, where urban stories, death, and ducks keep them up at night.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Liza died of overdose. 
Her boyfriend Dennis likes to deflect from the pain by keeping himself busy.  Her best friend Mona's coping mechanism includes buying a goat and naming it Liza.

As if things weren't weird enough, the cops soon come knocking at her door, where they inform her  about the sudden spike of death rates in the town, all caused by narcotics. As they were busy investigating more into this, Mona finds her deceased friend's journal, where it was written clear as day that Mona herself was Liza's drug supplier. 

With the help of  her dead best friend's boyfriend Dennis, and an extremely impulsive high schooler Disha; Mona must figure out what happened to Liza before she died, while keeping her own life from falling apart. 

Did I mention there was a strange person following her everywhere, claiming to be a ghost?

Mimi's Demons by LoweFantasy
120 parts Complete Mature
An eleven-year-old Mimi can see demons. She finds one feeding on a mafia boss, unconscious and bleeding out against her favorite breakfast dumpster. When she saves his life, he rewards her by forcibly taking her from the streets to adopt her. But Mimi doesn't want a dad. She just wants to go back to her parking garage, away from people and the demons that feed on them, which her new 'home' just happens to be full of. She's also not stupid enough to believe a guy who is practically a demon himself could make good parenting material, especially for an unwanted freak like her. And whatever happened to her childhood friend, the monster under her bed? Rated M for violence, some language, mentions of torture, killing people, uh, mature subjects...am I missing anything? The point is, it's not M for porn or inappropriate relationships. Just dark stuff.
Midnight Insomnia by julianlandenreadings

A mysterious disappearance, or, perhaps, an abduction of some kind. A witch who loves to toy with men. Ghosts who are trying to find their way and place in the afterlife. Demons seeking redemption for their past sins. Angels hungry to prove their creators aren't as almighty as they seem. Supernatural creatures trying to go against their worst instincts for blood. And ordinary humans turning into the most feared individuals on the planet. Did any of this sound interesting? Check out a teaser: "Last night, I heard something coming into my bedroom...it opened the door and let itself in, it walked on the creaking wooden floor towards my bed, and that's when I saw it, a stream of overwhelming and haunting beam of light." ----Chapter 1: It Came for Me Reader discretion advised: rated mature for graphic depictions of violence, disturbing content including material that may be sensitive to others, sexual content, mature themes, strong language, and some drug use.
