A Novel of Obsession, Survival, and the Girls Who Were Never Meant to Be Found

In the neon-lit shadows of Tampa’s underbelly, the pretty girls vanish. No one looks for them. No one asks why. No one thinks twice, except Jules.

Jules is a trans woman navigating survival in a world that sees her as disposable. Hardened by the streets but still carrying the fragile hope of connection, she crosses paths with a man whose secrets are buried deeper than the girls who came before her. Christopher is polished, respected, and beloved, a father, a husband, a surgeon. But when darkness scratches at the surface of his perfect life, what emerges is something far more terrifying than Jules could have imagined.

Told in lyrical, hypnotic prose that blurs the line between horror and heartbreak, Where the Pretty Girls Go is a psychological descent into the mind of a killer, and the unlikely bond that threatens to unravel his meticulously controlled world. As the story unfolds through dual perspectives and deeply immersive character studies, the reader is pulled into an emotional storm of obsession, power, identity, and the haunting fragility of redemption.

This novel is not just about monsters. It’s about what happens when a woman who was never meant to survive refuses to disappear quietly.

Raw, provocative, and deeply human, Where the Pretty Girls Go is a literary thriller that gives voice to the invisible and a name to the fear no one wants to speak aloud. It’s for the girls they forgot. The ones they never came to save.

Trigger Warnings: This book contains depictions of violence, trauma, sexual abuse, and psychological manipulation. Recommended for mature readers.

Lyra is a woman unraveling, slowly, exquisitely, horrifyingly.

When trauma counselor Lyra Monroe steps into her new apartment, she isn't just moving in. She's crossing the threshold into a waking nightmare. The space is cold, sterile, and impossibly silent. But it isn’t the slick, soulless furnishings or the whispering shadows that unnerve her. It’s the five windows.

Each one doesn't just look out into the world; they look into her. Into her past. Her carefully constructed facade. Her rawest fears. Her unraveling mind. And the fifth? The fifth window isn't glass at all. It's a sealed wall of crumbling brick that pulses with ancient dread and unspeakable secrets.

Behind that wall lies something monstrous. Something impossible. Something familiar.

Reality fractures as Lyra pries open the sealed window, unleashing a vision soaked in blood and impossible memory. She sees herself, or a twisted version of herself, standing over a butchered man, knife in hand, calm as the grave. But there’s no body. No weapon. No proof. Only a phantom scent of blood, a haunting vision etched into her bones, and the terrifying question: is it madness, prophecy, or memory?

Now, a chilling connection to her childhood reemerges: a photograph of a haunted boy, a forgotten diary mirroring her present torment, and a missing window sketched in crayon, a window that never existed. The deeper she digs, the more monstrous the truths become. Trust is a dying thing, and those closest to her may be orchestrating her descent.

Her mentor, Dr. Albright, once a source of comfort, now exudes calculated menace, his words echoing with a manipulative chill. Her apartment, once sanctuary, mutates into a war room, every object pulsing with dread. Childhood drawings, blood-stained visions, and haunted photographs converge in a puzzle too terrifying to comprehend.

And then, the attic. A trunk. A diary. A name: Dr. Elias Thorne. The mastermind behind Project Chimera.

Her life was not lived but constructed. The memories, implanted. The relationships, manipulated. Her identity, fractured into a thousand weaponized pieces. The experiments she uncovers didn’t just bend her perception, they obliterated it.

Now she’s caught between ghostly visions, twisted timelines, and manufactured realities, each recovered memory a scalpel to the soul. Trapped in a psychological maze with no center, she fights to reclaim her truth, but the truth may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

The Fifth Window is a chilling blend of psychological horror and supernatural suspense. With echoes of Black Swan, Hereditary, and The Haunting of Hill House, this novel invites readers into a reality where trauma twists perception, memory is a weapon, and the most terrifying monsters wear our own faces.

In the fog-draped streets of late 19th-century Edinburgh, Dr. Evelyn Blackwood, a pioneering forensic anthropologist, walks a razor’s edge between science and the supernatural. Called to consult on a string of gruesome murders, she is confronted with crime scenes unlike anything the city has ever seen: human skeletons dismantled, rearranged into hauntingly beautiful patterns, and marked with symbols steeped in necromantic lore.

Evelyn’s investigation draws her into a hidden war within Edinburgh’s elite, a world of academic betrayal, illicit body snatching, and a secretive order known as the Society of Bones. This clandestine network wields anatomical mastery and ancient beliefs to harvest the dead for purposes both scientific and occult. Their ambitions are as chilling as their methods: to harness the energy of human remains and reshape history itself.

But this is more than just a professional challenge. Evelyn’s own family legacy, marred by scandal, betrayal, and the mysterious disappearance of her father, intertwines with the case, making every discovery a step closer to personal truth… and mortal danger.

Meticulously researched and rich in atmosphere, The Bone Garden Murders fuses the precision of forensic science with the intrigue of secret societies, delivering a chilling gothic mystery where every bone tells a story, and some stories refuse to rest in peace.

Fourteen-year-old Lena Harper has always trusted science over superstition. But on the night of a rare Blood Moon Solar Eclipse, her carefully ordered world shatters. A strange mirror in her bedroom becomes a living portal, a gateway to the Mirror Dimension, a nightmarish realm where reflections warp, shadows breathe, and creatures called Echoes feed on stolen light and identity.

As Lena is drawn deeper into this distorted reality, she encounters her most dangerous enemy: the Other Lena, a soulless doppelgänger formed from her stolen memories. With each passing hour, the real Lena fades, her reflection turning ghostly, her mind slipping toward alien detachment.

Her only hope lies in the bond of family and friendship. Eli Morales, her fiercely loyal best friend, refuses to watch her vanish. Guided by Mrs. Harper, Lena’s grandmother and keeper of a mystical family legacy, Eli discovers the rituals, artifacts, and ancestral knowledge that might hold back the darkness. Together, they must confront an ancient evil in the mirrors, culminating in a desperate ritual within the haunted Astor Hotel ballroom, a nexus of interdimensional power where the fate of Lena’s soul will be decided.

Richly layered with supernatural horror, psychological suspense, and ancestral mysticism, this novel explores what it means to hold onto yourself when the world and your own reflection, try to erase you.
