Blackwood Falls Ghost Town Novels & Stories

Two voices, maybe three, one of them Damien’s. I looked at my phone. Two fourteen in the morning. I lay still and listened for a moment but the voices had already faded, moved to another part of the house or ended entirely, and the mansion settled back into its nighttime quiet around me. I stared at the ceiling in the dark and thought about the fact that I had been Mrs. Blackwood for less than forty eight hours and I already knew that this house kept things from people. I just didn’t know yet whether I was one of the things it was keeping.

Ethan Pov The night was unusually quiet. Too quiet. Moonlight stretched across the empty streets of Blackwood Town, casting long, jagged shadows between buildings and narrow alleyways.

THE WRONG VOW (MISTAKENLY MARRIED TO THE RUTHLESS BILLIONAIRE) CHAPTER 9: THE FIRST DAUGHTER A deafening clap of thunder echoed across the city. Alexander tightened his grip on the steering wheel as his black SUV sped through the rain. The destination on his phone refused to leave his mind. Blackwood Estate. The mansion had burned to ashes fifteen years ago. Or so everyone believed. Ethan sat beside him. "Sir... should we call for backup?"

She was seeking a fresh start, the anonymity that only a small town forgotten by the map could offer, but the density of those woods whispered that some places did not welcome strangers—they consumed them. The welcome sign appeared suddenly on a sharp curve, tilted and battered by time, its peeling letters announcing: Blackwood Falls – Population Unknown. Helena let out a shaky sigh. This was it. The final destination of her escape. As she crossed the town limits, fog began to creep from the forest floor, wrapping the car in a damp, milky embrace. Dark wooden houses emerged between the trees, many with their windows dark, looking like the closed eyes of sleeping giants. There was no living s

With a small, nearly empty coin purse clutched in her hand, Winter pulled her thin cloak tighter around her shoulders and stepped out into the strengthening daylight. The village of Blackwood was nestled in a valley, a collection of sturdy, timber and stone buildings huddled together against the encroaching wilderness. The air smelled of woodsmoke, damp earth, and roasting meat from the hunter’s hall. On a normal day, the sounds were almost cheerful, the ring of the blacksmith’s hammer, the chatter of villagers, the laughter of children. But as Winter walked down the main path, a bubble of silence seemed to form around her. The chatter died.

Blackwood. TBC!!

They pinned him down, and the hunter approached with her silver blade. "Any last words?" she asked, a hint of amusement in her voice. He didn't answer. He was too afraid to speak.

"Welcome to Shadowbrook," the enormous sign, obviously old and dusty, greeted them as they drove past it. Nate looked out the window, feeling a sense of calm as they arrived at their new home. Lost in thought, he didn't realize they had arrived until they had already parked their car. The Blackwood family had finally made it to their new house, which appeared out of place and likely abandoned for years.

With their most recent hiding place no longer secure, the Blackwoods moved once more as the morning sun just barely peeked over the horizon. Every second felt like a countdown to conflict, and Xander's instincts warned him that their pursuers were getting closer. A secluded lodge tucked away in the Sierra Madre mountains served as their new safe haven. The surrounding dense forest provided both safety and a spooky sense of seclusion, and the air was clear and cool. As they got closer to the cabin, Mateo, still in shock from what had happened, held on to Sofia.

“Our Luminapost Town was always known to be a peaceful place…but from a few years back, strange things kept happening here, mostly on the full moon nights. People are disappearing and despite countless investigations, police and detectives are unable to track down any information about those missing ones. “Even my son went missing after he was released on a parol a year ago and until now…I couldn’t find anything about him…except his bloody torn shirt from the Black Woods…” “Black Woods?” I could sense his voice turning heavy as if that man was barely choking his tears inside from grief while mentioning his lost son. Hearing my curious mumble, he stayed quiet for a few seconds before exhaling

“It means this isn’t over.” The town of Blackwood Hollow was deceptively serene when Kaelan and Rhea returned. The cobblestone streets were quiet, lined with quaint houses and shops that seemed untouched by the turmoil in the forest.
