Fiction that haunts you
pawn
The deadliest debts are the ones you choose.
Mark is a pawnbroker who can’t escape debt.
His business was supposed to cover the costs of his father’s assisted living care, but he’s running out of time.
When a peculiar woman offers him a rare car, it feels like the deal he’s been waiting for.
The catch: he must also take a collection of unsettling objects she is eager to unload.
As the bills stack up and his father’s care hangs in the balance, Mark’s desperation grows—and the woman’s “bargains” are stranger than he could have imagined.
Has Mark found a way out, or has he stepped into a debt that demands far more than money?

Midnight in the garden
When the clock strikes twelve, the garden blooms with secrets.
In this haunting and evocative collection, the writers of the Novelitics Writers Collective take readers on a journey through the shadows of the human heart. Midnight in the Garden offers a fresh and unexpected exploration of the seven deadly sins—lust, gluttony, greed, sloth, wrath, envy, and pride—through stories that are by turns chilling, poignant, darkly humorous, and utterly unforgettable.
From quiet betrayals and whispered confessions to explosive confrontations and eerie reckonings, each tale digs deep beneath the surface of sin to uncover the desires, fears, and fragile hopes that drive us all. This is not a morality tale—it’s a mirror.
Dare to wander the garden paths after dark. You might not come back the same.
