The Winterlands, a place that has been claimed uninhabitable, deserted. According to the legends of the Continent, people had tried to live there, centuries before, but each and every one of them had died, lost to the cold, lost to starvation, or destroyed by the ancient Sleepers.

To the people of the Continent, the Winterlands are a simple story, a tale told to children in order to frighten them into behaving. The Sleepers, the truth of them distorted by time, are the things of haunts.

However, contrary to the Continent's legends, to their beliefs, people did survive the harshness of the Winterlands. Their legends are their history, the monsters are very much real, and after centuries of slumber, the Sleepers are waking up.

And they are much, much worse than anyone dare believe.

The Folveshch by FinnyH
23 parts Complete
[Formerly Featured/Award-Winning Novella/#2 in Horror] There is something eerie about this village -- this hole of silent, maddened people. In 1922 my Papa told me of a faceless entity that lurks amongst us in our isolated slice of Russia. The locals have kept this horror alive for a century, though the only ones who claim to have seen the Folveshch have succumbed to a life of sightless silence. My name is Stefan Alyovich and the people around me are changing. They slip into worsening madness every winter, and I ask myself: how much longer before I'm the only sane one left? ... The only one left alone with the Folveshch. β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ β€’ 21,000 word novella β€’ Rank #2 in Horror β€’ Rank #4 in Mystery β€’ Horror winner of Greatbelt U.F Award 2015 β€’ CBY October Book of the Month 2014 β€’ The Cryptic Awards Best Horror Winner 2017 β€’ Wattpad HQ Winter Escapes Reading List β€’ Wattpad HQ Stranger Things Reading List β€’ Fright Top Horror/Featured Horror/Stranger Things Reading Lists β€’ Mystery Paranormal Mystery Reading List β€’ ThePurgeMovie Urban Legends Reading List β€’ TheGallowsMovie Best of Thrillers Reading List β€’ Blairwitchmovie Top Horror/Thriller Reading List β€’ OuijaMovie Top Horror Reading List β€’ IncarnateMovie Top Horror β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ- β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ - β†Ÿ-

Don't look out into the darkness. Sacrifice and pray. And never dare to leave the convent. These are the sacred rules to follow if you want to survive the creatures lurking outside - and the Order of Wolves, which ensures the village's safety with watchful eyes. So, what to do when you accidentally violate one of them on the very first night and receive a divination you shouldn't outlive? However, it's not Saskia they hold responsible, but her fellow sister Katinka. When coldblooded Prince Silvan von Winterthal and his order take her, Saskia is eager to break all those rules at once and more to get her back. And if she must risk her own life making a deal with a devil while the Wild Hunt ravages the lands, she will. ______________ ONC 2024 ENTRY: Prompts 25, 28, 95
