Let’s dive right in, shall we?

The Dark Lust by maniacalmuse and AngelGoddess1981
Another night, another strange and gruesome murder in Portland. Detective Edward Cullen is determined to solve this baffling case, but at what cost? What he finds could make or break ... him. AU/OOC/BxE. Rated M for dark themes.
~Well this is just flat out terrifying. Way to go, ladies, for making my skin crawl!

The Lady in White by TwilightLover96z
Edward has long since thought the existence of ghosts was purely a myth. On a dark, stormy Halloween night he'll be proven wrong.
~Oh my - another scary one. It’s great as a o/s and not marked complete, so I don’t know if there will be more. New writer - needs some love!

Stories of the Paranormal and Urban Legends by ericastwilight
Short Twilight Fanfic stories, unedited and loosely based on urban legends, ghost stories, and videos found on YouTube FOR THE ENTIRE MONTH OF OCTOBER. Most won't even have an ending, they're only meant to spook you. HORROR  ~Erica knows scary. Treat yourself to a short story each day!

Slapshot by prettykittyartist
He comes in for the stale coffee and the girl behind the counter. She lives for the moments he walks through her doors. Can she snag herself a star? Can he handle being caught? HOCKEYWARD EXB
~Oh lawdy, on a much lighter note, this Bella is one hilarious hot mess! She is unapologetically horny for one special guy and has absolutely no filter. I’m glad they are reposting this!

In My Brother’s Shadow by 2browneyes                                                                                                                                                                            As a child, Bella always felt second best when in it came to her twin brother, Emmett. Now years later, an accident has brought her back to Forks. Will she be thrust back into her brother’s shadow? Or will she be finally be seen as something other than Emmett’s sister?
~A unique rendition with characters that seem so disjointed you wonder how in the world they will ever overcome their differences. 2browneyes successfully wraps this up nicely with a bow on top.

A Dirty Lion by Fyrebyrd                                                                                                                                                                          Edward Cullen is sent to Forks to form a new charter of The Dirty Lions Motorcycle Club. His mission: keep the Werewolves out of Lion territory. Little does he know that putting a stop to the sale of underage girls in their own backyard will bring him more problems than solutions. Hell hath no fury like a woman who needs money for college.                                                                                                                                                                                      ~ A very fitting finale to this intense, fierce and passionate story.
                                                                                                                                                                                                    Ineffable by cynosure23
Love is one of those things that is too great and too meaningful to be expressed in words, but we still try.
~Aww, a sweet ending that shows a willingness to meet in the middle and compromise a bit goes a long way.

Monolith by NewTwilightFan
*Red Eyed Edward Contest Entry: 1st Place Judges' Vote* Bella has returned to Forks to live with her father every other year since her parents' divorce. Her emotional isolation threatens to overwhelm her, then she senses a mysterious force drawing her deep into the shadows of an abandoned graveyard. The force emanates from a standing stone. . . the gateway to her destiny. AU
~Your heart will pound like it's trying to escape out of your chest! What the hell is going on? NewTwilightfan relates a very moving story!                                                                                                                                                 

Kingdom of Rust by Raggdolly
Edward and Alice rely on each other to stay alive in a post-apocalyptic world, but when another woman appears to be a damsel in distress it will lead them down an unexpected road. "There is no greater monster on Earth than mankind".
~I read this as a WIP eight years ago and still makes my stomach lurch. I get goosebumps just thinking about it! Raggdolly is a master at suspense and making the hair on the back of your neck stand up.

Rain Must Fall by drotuno
It's always been said that Mother Nature finds a way to assert her power. This time, she unleashed something that walls and fences couldn't contain. Separated by an entire country, Edward and Bella must fight to stay alive in a world determined to destroy them, a world Edward must cross to get to his family, and a world where the dead don't always stay dead. Rated M AH/ExB
~Separated by the entire U.S. after a viral outbreak causes an apocalyptic world, will these two ever survive to work their way back to each other and be united? An epic tale of love in the midst of struggle, terror, and gore. Deb is one of my absolute favorite authors.

Let’s dive right in, shall we?

The Last of the Real Ones by bicyclesarecool
"The world today is content to call the Vigilante an alien, a cyborg, a military experiment gone wrong. But I know the truth." A superhuman avenger and an empty young woman meet in free fall. Nothing will ever be the same.
~Hmmm...what exactly are these Real Ones that have powers similar to vamps? Is Edward the Vigilante? Why does Bella keep getting god-awful headaches? Is she something more? I’m intrigued. Tune in to find out! (I waited for a few chapters to post)

The Experiment by Edward’s Eternal
Edward is part of a sociology experiment offering free hugs. What happens when the shy girl he's noticed before ends up in his arms?
~A sweet beginning to a new spin on the lovely insightful Edward becoming interested in Bella who is struggling with some social anxiety issues.

Surviving by DitzyDoozle
Bella is a cocky space traveler who travels from planet to planet selling things she's acquired from her previous stop. When her ship malfunctions and she lands on an unknown planet, she has to find a way to survive. Of course, she won't have to survive too long on her own. She should've known that just because a planet is unknown, doesn't mean it's not inhabited.
~This Sci-Fi story has me interested and asking a number of questions. Bella - with her being a space parts vendor, her drinking, gambling and yes, cheating - reminds me a bit of a young Hans Solo, but did karma find her? She finds herself in pretty dire straits and scrambling to survive.
.
Be Brave Hearted And Sure Footed by GashouseGables
The city of Forks needs brides. In the rain-soaked tiny logging town, there was a vast need for womenfolk. A woman sends up an advertisement. Any potential bride seeking a husband must pay the fare and rely on one Isabella Swan.
~This is not a BxE story, although they are there, but I continue reading because GashouseGables has taken the canon background and personality of every one of the other six ‘main’ characters’, magnificently fleshed out their backstories and meshed it all together in one current storyline. I really enjoyed what she has just done with James!

Hades New Groove by cupcakeriot
AKA How Hades Got His Groove Back. A modern!AU retelling of one of the most famous romances in Greek Mythology, with plenty of humor and cursing are thrown in for good measure. Rated M for language and liberal use of euphemisms.
~Ok, this is not Twilight, but it is a funny O/S written by cupcakeriot so I checked it out. Read about how Persephone marched into Hades' sad lonely life and turned it upside down.

Beneath the Branches by LayAtHomeMom
"The town of Forks is typically synonymous with boredom, not serial killers."
~What a fantastic story! Lay wrapped this all up quite nicely. I especially was cheering Bella on with her kick-ass impact statement.

Ahh...October and time to ease into some witches and scare the bejeezus out of you stories!

Night Must Fall by katinki
In a world of night, shadows known as the Volturi reign supreme. Their word is law, unquestioned and unchallenged. A doctoral student threatens exposure, and a Volturi Prince has been unleashed to silence her forever. AU.
~katinki presents to you one very dark and scary Vampward. He is one of the three crown jewels of the elite Volturi Guard, wearing the darkest of robes and lurking in the dark halls of Volterra. Aro notices his prince is becoming restless within the confines of the castle walls so he sends him on a search and destroy mission to the United States. Someone knows too much and their human life is forfeit.

Beautiful Hitchhiker by ericastwilight
Edward is running from home, tired and lost he saves a beautiful hitchhiker from a terrible fate. They decide to travel the road together. Unknown to them there is a trail of brutal murders left in their wake. The killer is closer than they think.
~The story is so sassy, sweet, sexy and then scary as hell! The seemingly random characters in this plot are interwoven together in about ten different ways giving you all the satisfaction of discovering the connections. This is ericastwilight’s best, IMO!

Elemental by TallulahBelle
AU/AH: When the Swans return to their birthplace, Bella learns she is no ordinary teenager, and Forks is no ordinary town. Can she fulfill her destiny with the powerful Edward Cullen, or will the dark forces that threaten their families destroy them all?
~Enter the supernatural world of an entire coven of witches, each with power over one or more of the natural earth elements. What’s going on with the new family in town and what is the dark evil mist that is destroying other covens around the country? What an exciting story!
