Some doors should never be opened…
In the quiet town of Pleasant Point, hidden near the misty shores of the Great Lakes, there stands a peculiar antique shop—one that only appears to those who need it most. Lost & Found Antique Store does not deal in ordinary objects but in second chances and impossible bargains. Within its shadowy aisles lie artifacts tied to fate itself, each offering a way to rewrite the past. But every desire comes with a price, and few understand the true cost until it’s too late.
Three strangers, each burdened by regret, are drawn to the store at a crossroads in their lives. Ethan Cross, a former rock star, discovers an object from his darkest days—one that shouldn’t exist. Aidan O’Connor, a retired fighter, is offered a way to reclaim his strength, but at a cost he doesn’t yet understand. Olivia Mercer, a disgraced journalist, seeks to expose the store’s secrets, only to realize some truths should remain buried. Watching over them all is Balthazar Monsoretty, the shop’s enigmatic owner. In this place, fate is not given—it is taken.
Dark Soul of Mine by M.B Brams is a gripping tale that weaves mystery and suspense into the fabric of an eerie, isolated town. Silver Hollow, nestled beneath the Colorado mountains, hides dark secrets tied to an ancient and cursed land. When a celestial event turns the town’s inhabitants into bodies not their own—children walking in parents’ skins, the weak inhabiting the strong—Silver Hollow descends into chaos. As fear mounts and the town is torn apart by this supernatural event, Sheriff Tom Carter, trapped in his daughter’s body, becomes the key to solving the mystery. What unfolds is a chilling investigation into the past and its deadly demands for justice. Can Carter unravel the truth before the curse consumes them all?
The story delves into the supernatural, exploring themes of identity, guilt, and the haunting past that refuses to stay buried. The townsfolk of Silver Hollow, whose lives are forever changed by the celestial event, must confront the unknown forces at play. As their bodies are overtaken by other souls, the community’s trust and relationships begin to fracture. With each passing moment, the town’s horrifying secrets rise to the surface. The haunting question persists: What happens when your soul no longer belongs to you? The novel’s dark tone is amplified by the eerie atmosphere of Silver Hollow, where fate and identities collide in a tense race against time.
What if reality was the lie—and your dreams were trying to wake you up? In this mind-bending sci-fi saga, humanity unknowingly exists within a series of nested simulations, each designed to preserve what remains of the human race. When teenage orphan Luca Brown perceives a crack in the sky, he inadvertently disrupts the system, awakening an ancient and malevolent force. Simultaneously, Maya Zeng aboard the orbiting city of Symbium believes her world to be the pinnacle of civilization, overseeing Earth’s instability. However, she soon discovers that Symbium is merely another layer in a complex web of realities, all under the watchful eye of a forgotten power.
The Gate of Toth delves into collapsing dreamscapes, forgotten gods, and the fragility of consciousness. This high-concept, emotionally charged thriller challenges perceptions of reality, posing the question: If reality is layered like a Matryoshka doll, what happens when someone breaks the smallest one? Step through the gate, wake up—or risk being erased.
Some memories were never meant to return. Some signals were never meant to activate. And some systems were never meant to survive. In the aftermath of Symbium’s collapse and the shattering of the Gate of Toth, the algorithm begins to bleed. In a fractured 1984 New York City—where the sky lingers too long and dreams rot beneath subway grates—Luca Brown stumbles through the ruins of his own identity. He’s no longer just a lost janitor or an addict on the edge. He’s something else now. A code. A trigger. A Witness. But remembering what he truly is might cost him what little sanity he has left.
Across flickering candlelight and underground networks, those who still remember the glyphs—the symbols carved into flesh and buried in forgotten rituals—are waking again. The Witness Protocol has begun to recompile. Detective Josephine Jordan, haunted by signs she can’t explain and names she doesn’t remember writing, is pulled into a spiraling mystery of murders, dreams, and impossible connections. The more she searches, the more she suspects: reality isn’t unraveling. It’s repeating. As systems reboot and ancient designs resurface, one message is clear: The simulation is running again—but this time, the rules are different.
