Hayle Coven Novels

I’m an international, multiple award-winning author with a passion for the voices in my head. As a singer, songwriter, independent filmmaker and improv teacher and performer, my life has always been about creating and sharing what I create with others. Now that my dream to write for a living is a reality, with over a hundred titles in happy publication and no end in sight, I live in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Canada, with my giant cats, pug overlord and overlady and my Gypsy Vanner gelding, Fynn. ***WORLD'S BEST STORY2014*** Her mom's a witch. Her dad's a demon. And she just wants to be ordinary. I batted at the curl of smoke drifting off the tip of my candle and tried not to sneeze. My heavy velvet cloak fell in oppressive, suffocating folds in the closed space of the ceremony chamber, the cowl trapping the annoying bits of puff I missed. I hated the way my eyes burned and teared, an almost constant distraction. Not that I didn't welcome the distraction, to be honest. Anything to take my mind from what went on around me. Being part of a demon raising is way less exciting than it sounds. Sydlynn Hayle's teen life couldn't be more complicated. Trying to please her coven is all a fantasy while the adventure of starting over in a new town and fending off a bully cheerleader who hates her are just the beginning of her troubles. What to do when delicious football hero Brad Peters--boyfriend of her cheer nemesis--shows interest? If only the darkly yummy witch, Quaid Moromond, didn't make it so difficult for her to focus on fitting in with the normal kids despite her paranormal, witchcraft laced home life. Add to that her crazy grandmother's constant escapes driving her family to the brink and Syd's between a rock and a coven site. Forced to take on power she doesn't want to protect a coven who blames her for everything, only she can save her family's magic. If her family's distrust doesn't destroy her first.

Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind nicht so gruselig!

[Horror-Spieleentwickler: Meine Spiele sind wirklich nicht so gruselig!] Ich hasse Horror. Von den huschenden Geräuschen von Schritten, die hinter mir herjagen, bis zu den leisen, aber beunruhigend kalten Flüstern, die sich um meine Ohren winden... All das. Ich hasse es. So sehr, dass ich anfange zu kotzen, wenn ich eine bestimmte Schwelle erreiche. Und trotzdem bin ich ein Horror-Spieleentwickler. Ein miserabler noch dazu. Also habe ich beschlossen, aufzuhören, angesichts meiner mangelnden Fähigkeiten. Und doch... [Glückwunsch, Sie wurden für das Horror-Spielentwicklungssystem ausgewählt!] Nein, ich will es nicht. Lass mich aufhören. ※ Hinweis: Ihre Welt könnte einige Veränderungen erfahren. Aber keine Sorge! Es ist Teil des Spiels! *** Dies ist eine Geschichte über einen Spieleentwickler, der Horror hasst, aber keine andere Wahl hat, als Spiele zu entwickeln, die gruselig genug sind, um Menschen zu traumatisieren. Sie wollen mich verfluchen, weil ich Sie dazu gebracht habe, sich in die Hose zu machen? Wenn das der Fall ist, wen verfluche ich dann? *** Eine von SCP inspirierte Geschichte mit ihrer eigenen Wendung!

I like the style of the story quite a lot, it gives a feeling of some classic books. The story is interesting and feels like a proper horror story with the narration.

The author has crafted masterpieces before, so there’s no doubt this will be another. With a horror theme this time, adding SCP-inspired elements like the Scarlet King or The Forgotten One could elevate it further. If it blends the creeping dread of The Shining, the cosmic horror of The Call of Cthulhu, and the mind-bending terror of House of Leaves, it could become a modern horror classic.

If you came for slow chilling horror then you're in the wrong place bub. This here is your generic isekai system multiverse hopping fiction, with classic horror movie creepers as the gimmick. Meh, It's a solid 1 out of 5 braincells. The "timeskips" ruin the whole immersiveness and character development, bad writing is what that is.

Amazing twist on a werewolf version of beauty and the beast. Through in a little bit of anger, and possessive issues . Along with family drama, and a lot of humor. Equals well done horror comedy classic.

One of the best psychological horror novels I have read in my life. Despite my experience in the field of psychological horror, including games, novels, and films, and being one of the designers of psychological horror games, I can say that you have outdone yourself.

The mage who walks in the heavens

(Newbie's work, description is weak, if you don't like it, I'm sorry) Traversing other worlds, cultivating magic, and conquering other planes, he discovered that every plane was a familiar world. Marvel,(CD, anime, Hong Kong, 2D, none of these currently available), and so on… "Hmm? Doctor Strange wants to borrow my power?" "Agreed." "What, Harry Potter got beaten up by Voldemort, and you want me to come over and support him?" "Gandaph, don't be idle, go help!" "What is it? The Holy Master ran out again?" "Ghidora, go and exchange a few moves with the Holy Master. If you lose, don't come back." Merlin looked at the messages sent by the worlds under him and could not help but sigh. "It's really tiring to be the big brother of the myriad worlds. I want to retire!" This was the story of a mage walking in the heavens.
