The Red Tree Horror

The Director’s Cuts: Horror Tales

Not every horror story gets released. Some are buried. Forgotten. Or never meant to be seen. These are the films that whisper in projection rooms, flicker through broken reels, and show up on tapes no one remembers recording. “Each novel is a standalone nightmare—scripted, cast, and directed by a man no one remembers hiring.” The Director. No one has seen his face. No one has survived two of his films. You're not reading a novel. You're watching his cut. Just pray he never turns the camera on you. --- ## Book 1: My Husband is a Serial Killer (and He Doesn't Know It) The reel clicks to life in an empty theater. Frame one: a woman's trembling hands holding a bloodstained journal. The handwriting inside matches her husband's perfectly—each confession detailing murders that made headlines, each date stamped with precision. Behind the camera, something breathes. Mara Lockwood thought she'd escaped her fractured past when she married Daniel Kessler—a gentle trauma therapist who forgets where he puts his keys, loses hours to daydreams, and loves her with desperate intensity. Their seaside home feels safe. Quiet. Until the journal surfaces from a locked drawer, its pages filled with Daniel's careful script describing acts of violence he swears he never committed. The camera never blinks. As bodies surface along the fog-drenched Oregon coast and Detective Elara Finch closes her investigation net, Mara faces an impossible choice: expose the man she loves or become his accomplice. Because the deeper she digs, the more she discovers about their shared time at Haven Creek Mental Health Facility—memories that were supposed to stay buried. Daniel's blackouts are getting worse. His sleepwalking more violent. And someone keeps leaving notes on Mara's windshield: "He doesn't remember what you made him do." In the projection booth, a clapperboard snaps. The Director adjusts his focus. He's been waiting for this story—one where the audience can't tell who's performing and who's just pretending to be real. Because if Daniel's the killer, Mara might be the reason he became one. And if she's covering for him... The film has already started. --- Disclaimer: All characters are original.

The Last Iroko Tree

In the ashes of Earth’s once thriving ecosystem, where deserts have swallowed cities and the air reeks of industrial decay, only one green giant remains: the last living Iroko tree. Revered by ancient tribes and dismissed by modern science, the tree becomes the final hope for survival when Dr. Kuntu, an impassioned Kemit environmental scientist, uncovers a long-lost manuscript detailing its miraculous regenerative powers. Haunted by the memory of a lush past and driven by a vision of healing, Kuntu assembles a global team of experts a botanist with a secret agenda, a rebel engineer fleeing the corporate regime, and a geneticist hiding ties to a dark environmental experiment. Together, they set out across a shattered continent, evading rogue militias and corrupt governments who would rather see the world burn than lose control. As the team draws closer to the Iroko, they realize the tree is not just a carbon sponge; it’s a living archive of Earth’s ancient balance, holding dormant powers and ancestral secrets tied to Kuntu’s bloodline. But reviving the tree unleashes consequences no one could predict: climate anomalies, spiritual awakenings, and a resistance determined to destroy what they see as unnatural resurrection. When Kuntu is forced to choose between science and heritage, progress and preservation, life and sacrifice she must confront the greatest truth of all: the key to saving the world may not be in the tree's power, but in humanity's will to change. The Last Iroko Tree is a deeply emotional, high-stakes journey of eco-activism, ancient wisdom, and the unyielding fight for redemption in a dying world. With its blend of Kemit mythology, speculative science, and environmental urgency, it’s not just a story, it’s a call to action.

Bloom: Becoming The World Tree

She awakens as a seed in a rotting forest. No name. No memories. No body—only roots. A mysterious system guides her: Grow. Survive. Evolve. Buried in an ancient valley no one enters—and no one leaves—she must navigate the silence, the soil, and the secrets of a forgotten world. The rot is spreading. Something watches from below. And she is the only thing in the forest still learning how to hope. Poetic dark fantasy. Deep system lore. Slow-burn transformation. Maybe romance, IDK. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Watch her grow—not into a warrior, but into a sanctuary. --------------------------------------------------- A Note From the Author: Hi there! This is my very first book being shared with the world, and… I’m a little nervous. Please be gentle with me—I have a fragile glass heart. (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞ This story is the result of months (okay, years) of dreaming, writing, rewriting, and researching things like ancient trees, fantasy ecosystems, and mythological creatures I can barely pronounce. It's a deeply personal world, and I'm incredibly excited—and terrified—to finally show it to someone other than my dog. Bloom: Becoming the World Tree is a high fantasy story rooted in both Western and Eastern mythology but reimagined through my own voice. Expect themes of growth, loneliness, healing, survival, and sanctuary. There are echoes of elves, dwarves, beastkin, spirits, and creatures who have been forgotten by the rest of the world… just like the little Seedling who wakes up alone in the dark. I’ve poured my heart (and probably a few brain cells) into building this world carefully. That said—I'm still human! If anything feels off, if I missed something, or if you think a detail could be more accurate, please let me know. I truly want to improve and do right by the story, and by you, the reader. Thank you for taking a chance on my fragile little Seedling. I hope she grows into something you’ll come to love, too. — Kismet (シ_ _)シ
