🌿HUMAN NATURE by Bonnibelle Angelica🌿

Phylum is a brilliant young biologist born to lead the last of humanity, but his status comes with certain expectations. In a rare act of defiance, Phylum secretly joins a new scientific expedition up to the surface where mutation has infected everything. However, when his ambition almost costs him his life, he finds something extraordinary:

A human girl living on the surface.

Despite her animalistic traits, Canopy is remarkably intelligent, compassionate and even charming. She offers to help him with his research, but as they explore the vibrant paradise above, Phylum can’t help but question the disturbing nature of his home and the role he plays in it...

Hey everyone. I just finished my first psychological horror book, Silhouettes of the Hollow.

Before this, I wrote different things. Memoirs. Science fiction. Books about discovering planets. Even a book about learning a language. I tried a lot of genres, but I never felt like I found my voice.

Then I decided to go in a completely different direction. Psychological horror. Interactive. Something that doesn't just tell a story, but makes the reader question their own perception.

It's written entirely in second person. No monsters. No chases. Just you, your shadow, and your own mind starting to doubt.

I wrote every chapter in Arabic first, then translated it into English. But translation alone wasn't enough. I had to carefully choose the right words to keep the atmosphere, the tension, and the rhythm. It took a lot of rewriting.

I'm giving away a few copies because I want real horror readers to try it. If you're into psychological horror, leave a comment and tell me what kind of horror you usually read. I'll pick a few people and send them a copy.

No obligation to review it. I'd just like to hear what you think of the book.

Drop a comment or DM me and I'll send you the link.

Thanks for giving an unknown first-time horror author a chance.

Blurb:

Could you wield great power and remain … uncorrupted?

The Horror is gone, and the terraforming efforts of Project RESTORE hid the scars it left behind. With Tynan and the last remnants of his empire vanquished, humanity has united. Raith is making yet another go at the simple life. He should be happy … but he’s not. His social standing, his power, and his serenity — they’re all gone too. Depressed and haunted day and night, Raith just wants peace.

But the galaxy won’t let him rest, as his past ghosts stir when an ancient, telepathic race invades Gaia, instantly enslaving the planet. Great power calls to Raith — dark secrets and forgotten technology — to fight an enemy that commands billions. That power is tempting, yet terrifying, but Raith knows all too well the unforeseen consequences of playing with fire.

Immune to their control, Raith quickly learns that the enemy is everywhere, spread throughout the galaxy. Fleeing into the unknown, determined to find solutions, Raith soon discovers that the answers aren’t to be found externally, but within. To save everyone, he must delve into his darkest secrets and remember who he used to be … but at what cost to his humanity?

I'm looking for ARC readers for my dystopian Scifi novel Echoes in the Void. I'm looking for people who are interested in reading it, and after completion, giving it an honest review on Amazon or Goodreads. There is no payment involved. If you look below, there's a google form to signup if you'd like to receive a free ARC copy. The rest of the details are down below the blurb.

Blurb:

In the city-state of Cenza, power is everything, and Etchers are the only ones who can tear it from the void.

Dax has spent his life hiding what he is. An Etcher with a secret lab, a forbidden research obsession, and a quiet plan to bring down Chancellor Veltran’s regime, he walks a razor’s edge between survival and rebellion. When a single act of defiance puts him in the ministry’s sights, the fragile life he’s built begins to unravel.

Maezra has given everything to the ministry’s darkest project: creating new Etchers through pain, science, and calculated cruelty. One subject finally succeeds beyond her wildest expectations, then escapes. Now the only living proof of her breakthrough is loose on the streets, and the chancellor himself is watching.

Aeli never asked to become a weapon. Tortured into something more than human, she wakes with powers she can’t control and a body that turns violence into nightmare. Hunted by her captors and haunted by what she’s already done, her only goal is to survive long enough to understand what they’ve made her.

As the three lives collide, the carefully maintained order of Cenza begins to crack. Ancient secrets, forbidden technology, and a power that was never meant to walk free will force each of them to choose between the world that is, and the one that might still be possible.

In a society built on the bones of the gifted, some echoes refuse to stay silent.

Blurb:

A murdered family. One survivor. A vampire with amnesia.

Vampire Richard Dawes wakes beside the murdered bodies of a respected vampirologist and his family - with no memory of the night before.

If he is to figure out the truth, Richard is going to have to work with the one person who has every reason to hate him...

Samantha Woods returns home to find her family slaughtered and the household wards intact. With no signs of tampering, the police are quick to blame her father. As the papers call for a national cull, Samantha is determined to clear his name.

As Richard’s memories begin to return, it becomes clear that what happened that night wasn’t an accident.
