One night to survive. One soul to save. When five friends break into an abandoned house, they expect to find dust and old furniture. Instead, they find themselves caught in a terrifying trap. After a séance gone wrong, a primal, bloodthirsty spirit takes root in their friend, and the teens find themselves trapped in a house of horrors with a predator that is evolving. As the moon climbs higher, the human part of Jared begins to fade, replaced by a hunger that can't be satisfied. With every exit barred, the group tries desperately to escape the beast their friend is becoming. Get it here.

The Barrow
In old Scandinavian folklore, the dead do not always rest. When a careless young man unwittingly violates an ancestral taboo, he awakens an angry undead creature fueled by bitterness and brutal strength.
The Board
Five friends. One abandoned house. A game they should never have started. When the group breaks into the abandoned childhood home of a serial killer, they expect a night of tall tales and urban legends. But after a session with a Ouija board goes wrong, Jared isn’t himself anymore. He’s faster, stronger, and his eyes reflect a light that shouldn't be there. As Jared’s scent for blood rises, his friends are looking more like prey by the second. It’s a race against time: can Jared’s friends exorcise the killer before the transformation is complete, or will they become the first kills in a new cycle of blood?
The Bunny
The rabbit is gentle. The rabbit is sweet. The rabbit is never afraid. The child calls it a pet. But her mother feels something watching from behind its glassy eyes—something old, hungry, and patient.
Shadows of the Past
This novel uses PWYW pricing. Minimum purchase price is 4.99USD. ePub file. 120k words. Get it here.
When a young woman returns to her family’s derelict mansion, she does not come alone. With her estranged cousin, she reenters a house where a child died—and where the explanation was easier than the truth. As rooms are reopened and memories surface, the line between belief and blame begins to erode, and the house reveals a quieter, more devastating kind of haunting.
A slow-burning, grief-soaked horror that feels like a warning whispered in the dark.
Set in rural Mexico, it follows Mia (Tania Niebla), a witchcraft expert and radio host, who crosses paths with a group of young travelers—and a malevolent force that feeds on the breath of orphans (3 actually) . What unfolds blends slasher tension with supernatural dread, all grounded in a world that feels eerily real.
The film’s modest budget shows in its rare use of CGI—but it hardly matters. Director Alejandro G. Alegre leans into practical effects, shadow-drenched visuals, and sound design that turns silence into terror. The result is a gritty, handmade horror that evokes Mexican folklore without directly adapting any single legend. It feels ancient, even though much of its mythology is original.
It’s not perfect—the pacing drags at times, and non-Spanish speakers may miss subtle emotional beats—but it’s deeply atmospheric, serious (not cheesy!), and genuinely unsettling in its best moments.
A solid indie horror with folk and supernatural roots.
3/5 stars.
