The Baker and the Beach: Two Chilling Thrillers

Story One: Maison De La Crumb

Step into the cobblestone streets of medieval Dinan, where the scent of freshly baked brioche hides dark obsessions.

When a lonely, deeply unhappy woman stumbles into Maison de la Crumb, the enigmatic baker Olympe Kerguelen welcomes her with open arms. Over rich, decadent pastries and steaming cups of coffee, a tender and endearing friendship begins to bloom. But in Olympe's kitchen, comfort always comes at a terrifying cost.

As the lines between genuine care and sinister possession blur, the woman realizes Olympe's hospitality is a trap. The sweet, buttery escape transforms into a harrowing thriller where the baker demands a chilling, ominous price. Olympe doesn't just want companionship—she is looking to cultivate something darker, and her new friend is the perfect, unsuspecting ingredient.

Will the woman manage to escape, or is she destined to become the final piece in Olympe's twisted recipe?

Story Two: Carolina Beach

The ocean at Carolina Beach is beautiful, deadly, and hungry. Swimmers enter the surf, but beneath the sparkling surface, a predatory anomaly swallows them whole—leaving no splash, no struggle, and no trace.

For veteran lifeguard Kenji Ontaro, the horror is a silent, invisible nightmare. Every day, frantic beachgoers scream for help, begging him to rescue the loved ones they just watched disappear beneath the waves. But Kenji stares out at a perfectly calm ocean, paralyzed by a terrifying reality: how do you save someone you cannot see?

Trapped on the shoreline while an unseen terror decimates the community, Kenji must unravel the dark history of the beach before the tide comes in for him, too. Because in these waters, going missing is only the beginning.
