The Guests

By David Yerks-Young

In a town where opals remember desire, six hungers wait.

Opal Bend is not on any map. A ghost town, abandoned to the world-or so it seems. But some guests arrive and never truly leave. Some depart changed. Some depart marked. And some... never depart at all.

Here, the shadows are thick, and the night is alive. The opal mines whisper secrets long buried, and the creatures that stalk the darkness are as seductive as they are deadly. Hunger is not just for food. Hunger is for memory, for flesh, for the deepest parts of desire you've never dared admit exist.

As the mysteries of Opal Bend unravel, the line between life and death, temptation and doom, becomes dangerously thin. Who survives? Who succumbs? And what are the true cost of curiosity and desire in a town that remembers everything?

Dark, gothic, and suspenseful, The Guests is a standalone tale of supernatural intrigue and lingering secrets, perfect for readers who crave ghostly towns, forbidden desires, and the slow burn of unearthed horrors.
