In the isolated, snow-buried village of White Pines, winter is not merely a season-it's a suffocating force that brings both cold and fear. As the bitter winds howl through the forest, a series of violent deaths sends shockwaves through the tight-knit community. The bodies are mutilated, torn apart by what appears to be an animal-but the villagers know better. Rumors swirl about the Wendigo, an ancient legend passed down through generations, a creature born of desperation and hunger, lurking in the frozen woods.

A group of seasoned hunters, led by the grizzled but respected Elias Conroy, bands together to track and kill whatever is hunting their people. But as they venture deeper into the wilderness, they make a horrifying discovery: the Wendigo isn't a creature of myth, but something far more real-and far more terrifying. It's not just hunting them; it's infecting them. The twisted remains of their friends and neighbors reveal a monstrous truth: once the Wendigo touches you, you become it.

The hunters, once brothers-in-arms, begin to turn on one another as paranoia sets in. Anyone could be next. As the lines between human and monster blur, trust disintegrates, and survival becomes a harrowing, personal struggle. In the brutal cold, with no help coming, they must face the terrifying reality that the Wendigo may not just be among them-it may already be them.

The Bird People  by WendyyWolfe
19 parts Complete Mature
In 1600s Virginia, a small colonial village sprang up unceremoniously on the sacred burial grounds of the Native American people it was taken from, the Nottoway. Now, an ancient evil has been awakened in the form of Elementals known as The Bird People and it is suspected that the Nottoway Tribe has cursed the ground in revenge for being encroached upon by colonial settlers. After failed crops, still births, deaths, burnt homes and facing starvation, superstitions run rampant and the townspeople do the only thing they can think of in the late 1600s to appease these angry and destructive spirits. Give them an offering. It is quietly decided by the elders of the community, in an effort to keep these spirits of the bird people at bay, that every woman should give up her first born infant daughter to them. One such young mother cannot bear this resolution much less imagine giving up her only child. In order to keep her only child, a daughter, she makes a baby out of straw and gives that instead, bringing chaos to their puritan village. A cursed girl. The man who loves her. A questionable death.

Mansion in the Woods

34 parts Complete Mature

Hostage. Prisoner. What ever you wish to call it. They won't let me nor my friends leave. Taken by a cannibalistic family and claimed I was being adopted into their family. I already have a family of my own. And what of my friends that's with me? They're the main course. In the little town of Norbury, Canada, there have been several people disappearing without a trace. A couple of my colleagues and I decided to do a news article and discover the reasons for all the missing people. However I never realized the horrors that would await us in the quiet little town. The town is not a real place in Canada, I just made it up. This is my first story ever so if I have grammar mistakes PLEASE CORRECT ME!!! I'm not a writer but I've had this idea in my head ever since I watched Hostel and Wrong Turn so I figured I'd see if anyone else is interested. I don't own any of the images Warning! the first few chapters are a bit bumpy but they get better! Warning!!! Graphic content, Violence, Gore, Torture!!!
