Summary
The leaflet is blank, save for the bold text in the center; “The Void is hiring NOW!” it says. There’s also a phone number.
It has to be a joke, right? No actual, serious, company could possibly be called “The Void”, that would be too on the nose.
He dials the number anyway.(Jongdae wonders how it's possible to forget about the end of the world. And yet he did, everyone did. )

Summary
When Taichi’s only friend Tokunosuke sends him to go to The Leg on the outskirts of the city, Taichi quietly agrees, trying to swallow the fear in his chest.
The Leg, or, The Broken Leg Circus, was a place he had often gone to in his childhood. Yet it was never the dilapidated red-striped circus tent that he entered. It was always the smaller blue tent beside it, grandly named Saturn's Menagerie.
On this particular journey, he meets a new member of the Menagerie. Professing to be the deposed prince of the sun, the newest member of the Menagerie looks at Taichi with the saddest of eyes and the whitest of hair.
It's unsettling, to say very the least.

Summary
A confession, a recording that should not exist, a voice that does not belong in the machine. Christopher, a Mekhet vampire, recounts the impossible: Cassandra Maye, riddled with rebar and consumed in chemical fire, now walks the earth as if nothing happened. Not Embraced, not ghoul, not even werewolf … something stranger.

You are a private detective.
You have grown accustomed to wandering alone, striking up conversations with strangers in taverns, markets, and slums. From an unguarded remark you take their measure, and from there you nose out the secrets they keep.
But this time, you glimpse the secret in the mirror.

Summary
“She came to escape the fire. She found the girl who started it.”
" When transfer student Ling Wei arrives at Crescent City Academy, she brings nothing but silence, a spotless transcript, and the kind of calm that feels rehearsed.
Whispers follow her through the marble halls — about the fire at her old school, the student who vanished, and the counselor who seems to know too much.Then there’s Orm Reyes — the academy’s golden girl with a perfect smile and a history she keeps under glass. Brilliant, untouchable, and bored, Orm finds herself drawn to Ling’s quiet precision the way a flame leans toward oxygen.
Their connection begins as curiosity: a test of minds, a battle of restraint.
But Crescent City is full of locked doors and watching eyes, and the name Amara Vale refuses to stay buried.
As the two girls circle each other — rivals, mirrors, something in between — obsession starts to look a lot like fate.And when Ling uncovers a photograph linking Orm’s mother to her own past, she realizes the academy isn’t just hiding its ghosts.
It’s been making them. " -

Summary
On a rain-slick London Halloween, artist Yeonjun is haunted by the same face he can’t stop painting—Beomgyu, the unreachable “ghost girl.” When Beomgyu appears by the Thames and in Yeonjun’s studio, he asks to be painted not kind, but true. The visitation ends with no proof but a dusty handprint and a finished portrait; Yeonjun learns that forever isn’t possession—it’s the ache he chooses to carry, returning to the river each year with the painting he almost releases.

Summary
AKA Remembering the Dead
On the National Day of Zumbi and Black Consciousness, Michelle is drawn from her quiet solitude into the humid, neon-lit night by her enigmatic friend, Rafa. What begins as an intimate meeting in the historic quarter unravels into a moment of profound violence and a choice that shatters her world.
Awakening alone, she finds her senses ablaze and her reality transformed. The familiar city now hums with hidden patterns and predatory hunger—both around her and within. To survive the dawn, she must navigate the aftermath of a terrible gift and confront the hidden society for which her very undeath is a crime.
A visceral and introspective origin story of transformation, legacy, and the haunting cost of trust, set against the vibrant and somber backdrop of Salvador.
