  • The Bellwether Home for Wayward Souls

    When Eleanor Holloway discovers a strange pamphlet tucked inside a donated book, it feels like fate. The Bellwether Home promises what she’s been longing for—a child meant just for her. No red tape. No waiting. Just a signature.

    And Lyle... is perfect.
    Quiet. Gentle. Strange.
    He doesn’t sleep. He copies voices. He remembers things that haven’t happened yet.

    As the Holloways unravel under the weight of something they invited in with open arms, Eleanor is forced to confront the question at the heart of every kind of motherhood—what is love meant to contain?

    Set in a haunted orphanage that moves with intention and memory, this story whispers like a lullaby you were never meant to hear. A gothic fable from The Electric Quill, The Bellwether Home is a soft horror tale of longing, loss, and the terrible beauty of being chosen.

  • The Hungry Silence

    In the depths of outer space, silence is never empty—it devours.
    The Hungry Silence follows Lira, a black hole adrift in the void, cursed with an endless appetite. She swallows suns, worlds, entire galaxies, yet the more she consumes, the smaller she feels—haunted by the shame of her own hunger.

    But when a voice flickers across the dark, Lira must face a question she has never dared ask: what does it mean to be seen, not as a void, but as a presence?

    Woven in the uncanny glow of The Electric Quill, this is a story of cosmic loneliness and recovery, of learning that even in the vast black between stars, there is a place for you to exist—for you to take up space.

    DOUBLE FEATURE: Salt and Bone & Spoiled

    Step into the shadows for a chilling double-feature unlike any other—two haunting tales bound by the bone-deep hunger for beauty, power, and remembrance.

    In “Salt and Bone,” descend into the depths of a drowned cathedral where a veiled mermaid named Nerissa haunts the ruins of her past. Her song once brought sailors to their knees. Now, it only mourns. Some ghosts are bound not by chains, but by vows... and salt.

    Then, in “Spoiled,” meet Eloise Grimshaw, a woman who discovered the secret to eternal youth… at a terrible cost. Behind her flawless skin and lavish empire lies a bitter truth sealed in a glass vial. When vanity curdles and greed turns sour, the price of beauty may just spoil everything.

    Together, these two tales whisper of desire, decay, and the ghosts we make of ourselves.
