In the forgotten town of Black Hollow, nestled in the shadows of the Appalachian hills, the past lingers like a bitter chill. Children have vanished for decades, sucked up by the earth and its dark secrets. The townsfolk whisper of a malevolent force, an entity buried deep beneath the crumbling landscape, waiting for the right moment to resurface.

The summer of 1978 was hotter than anyone could remember. When three prisoners make a desperate escape from the local penitentiary cemetery, chaos erupts in the already beleaguered town. As Sheriff Thomas leads the frantic search, one of the fugitives is found huddled in a limestone outcropping, his mind fractured and his secrets buried. But the escapees are only the beginning. As the sheriff and a reluctant ally, young Alan Muncy, delve deeper into the darkness, they discover the horrific truth about the children who vanished over the years and the ancient evil lurking beneath their feet.

As the ground begins to crumble and the hills close in, Alan realizes that some forces cannot be contained. With time running out and the fate of the town hanging in the balance, he must confront the darkness that has haunted Black Hollow for generations, hoping to seal it away before it rises once more. 

 Unveil the dark secrets of St. Augustine in this gripping horror mystery where history and the supernatural collide. When a group of friends discovers an ancient diary in a dusty antique shop, they unwittingly unlock a terrifying curse hidden for centuries. The diary reveals the chilling tale of an 18th-century Santeria coven that trapped a malevolent spirit in a sacred artifact—a mysterious amulet lost in the shadows of the city.

But one of them has already found the amulet, and with it, they’ve unleashed something sinister. As unexplained deaths begin to echo the sacrificial rituals described in the diary, the friends are thrust into a race against time. The malevolent spirit grows stronger with each passing day, and the clues to stop it are buried in the dark history of St. Augustine.

To survive, they must decipher the occult warnings in the diary and perform an ancient ritual to trap the spirit once more. But with the clock ticking and the shadow of death looming closer, will they succeed, or will they become the next victims of The Santeria Secret?

Perfect for fans of supernatural horror, occult thrillers, and spine-chilling mysteries, The Occultist’s Diary: The Santeria Secret is a must-read for those who dare to explore the haunted past of one of America’s oldest cities. 

In the historic and charming city of St. Augustine, Florida, the once-beloved Willow's Rest Bed and Breakfast stands as a shadow of its former self. Known for its friendly ghostly residents, the inn’s unique allure turns into a nightmare when an ancient occult ritual goes terribly wrong, ripping open a rift between worlds and unleashing malevolent spirits into the peaceful haven.

Fatima, a determined and resourceful paranormal investigator, arrives at Willow's Rest at the invitation of her enigmatic friend, Alexander Blackwood. As Fatima delves into the mysteries of the bed and breakfast, she is burdened by the state of her trusted partner, B, who lies in a mysterious coma induced by dark forces during their last adventure.

Uncovering the dark legacy of a secretive cult, Fatima discovers that the ancient rituals performed in the inn have left a sinister imprint within its walls. Hidden rooms, cryptic symbols, and spectral encounters guide her quest, leading her to an ancient grimoire that could hold the key to waking B and restoring peace to Willow's Rest.

With urgency mounting, Fatima enlists the help of Mama Jude, a wise and formidable voodoo practitioner. Together, they devise a plan to perform a powerful counter-ritual capable of awakening B by trapping the malevolent force responsible for her coma within a cadaver. This cadaver must then be buried in an iron casket to seal the malevolent spirit’s influence forever.

In a race against time, Fatima and Mama Jude perform the intricate and dangerous ritual, battling the evil entities that threaten to collapse the boundary between worlds. The fate of Willow's Rest, its spectral residents, and Fatima's comatose partner hangs in the balance, hinging on their ability to trap the malevolent force and bring peace to the haunted inn at last.

Unsolved Crimes, Lost Lives, and the Search for Justice in the Shadows of Appalachia

On a cold Christmas Eve in 1945, a fire consumed the Sodder family home in rural West Virginia. Five children vanished without a trace. What followed was not just a tragedy—but a mystery that refused to die.

From the smoldering ruins of that night to the blood-stained back roads of the 1980s Redhead Murders, Names for the Nameless journeys through some of America’s most haunting unsolved cases. In the heart of Appalachia, victims were silenced, erased, and buried without names—but not forgotten.

This is more than a true crime book. It’s a reckoning.

Blending investigative rigor with the chilling intimacy of personal loss, Al Fouty unearths the stories of the missing and the murdered—women cast aside by systems, by killers, by time itself. But they were daughters, sisters, friends. And many of them are still waiting to be found.

From forensic breakthroughs to grassroots movements, from anonymous letters to spectral folklore, Names for the Nameless is a haunting tribute to those who vanished—and the people who refuse to let them be forgotten.

Some mysteries were never meant to stay buried.

Some shadows dance. Others hunt.

When Alex and Emily move into the mysterious old manor with their mom, they expect creaky floors and dusty rooms—not living shadows. At first, the strange figures that glide across the walls seem harmless, even friendly. But when a forbidden door swings open and a sinister presence escapes, the siblings realize they’re in over their heads.

The only clue to stopping the ancient shadow known as Utuku lies in a long-lost book hidden somewhere within the labyrinthine manor library. As the sun sets and danger closes in, Alex and Emily must navigate eerie passageways, outwit deceptive shadows, and uncover secrets buried for generations.

But time is running out, and the shadows aren’t the only ones keeping secrets.

Can they find the book and stop Utuku before the manor—and everyone inside—becomes his prey?

Step into the light. Face the shadows. But whatever you do... don’t look away.
