Welcome to Carnage: A Dark Romance Novella Kindle Edition

4.1 out of 5 stars 2,593 ratings

He is the night's reckoning, the shadow that haunts my dreams. This year, he wants more than just my fear.

Halloween is a celebration of the bizarre, the unexpected, the dark. And I've always had a twisted enjoyment that dances with the macabre.

Things turn sinister when every guy I date ends up six feet under, courtesy of an obsessed stalker. Like a ravenous beast, the murderer hides in plain sight. His identity? None other than Nyx, my brother's best friend and my secret admirer. A familiar face is now my enigmatic predator. His presence is inescapable, his desire for me insatiable. A force that would cut down any who dared cross our path.

Like any monster, he's ready to kill for what he desires. His hunger for me is an intoxicating blend of fear and excitement, an adrenaline rush I've never known. The night of the Carnival is looming, and with it comes his promise. I will be his. I should run, escape... but the dark allure of being his prey is an addiction I'm not ready to shake off just yet.

Welcome to Carnage, where love is a twisted game, and survival is the only victory.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've always been drawn to the darkness in fiction, finding beauty in the forbidden and thrill in the dangerous. My stories? They're an exploration of darkness, filled with mysterious masked men, fearless heroines, and spice that'll set your Kindles ablaze.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the darker side of romance in fiction. It’s necessary to add I don’t condone these kind of relationships in real life. However, the intoxicating chase, the deadly dance, the heart-racing fear, and an irresistible attraction in fiction I adore. My fascination led me to write these short stories, blending heart-stopping fear with blazing heat and passion.

I exclusively publish on Amazon, providing a thrilling escape for those who dare to venture into the dark side of love and lust. If you've read my book and found yourself wanting more, follow me on Amazon or social media for updates on my next dark novella release. Your adventure is only a page flip away.

Spooky Season Delight!
My Review: 3.5 ⭐️ 3 🌶️ Welcome to Carnage by Selena Winters is a wickedly fast-paced novella that dives straight into the dark and twisted. Avina’s dating life turns deadly when every guy she meets ends up taking a six-feet-deep dirt nap. Her st*lker, Nyx, is more than willing to keep it that way if she so much as glances at another man. He’s her brother’s best friend with a long-standing obsession, lurking in the shadows, waiting to make her his. This isn’t your average love story; it’s a thrill ride where danger and desire mix in intoxicating ways. Nyx is ruthless, willing to make “sleeping with the worms” an Olympic event for anyone who tries to get close to Avina, and Halloween night is his deadline to claim her once and for all. This quick and intense read is the perfect spooky season treat for those who crave a little fear with their romance. Don’t expect a deep plot—just buckle up for some dark, spine-tingling fun! Welcome to Carnage isn’t here to play nice; it’s here to thrill.

    It wasn’t badly written, it was just absurd. The author does say in her notes she absolutely doesn’t condone these types of relationships, it’s just fun to write, and yeah…I suppose it is because Nyx is pretty out of left field here.

    Avina is fine, she’s just clearly in love with a psychopath…she reminded me of Laurie from Halloween, if she was in love with Michael Meyers (you know, if they weren’t actually siblings). It’s a quick read, and if you like the cray-crays, this one’s for you!

    There's a lot of murdering in this one. I liked it because it's a story of a best friend brother dark romance. I wish there was more of a storyline but it is a quick read with a 10 on the hotness scale. It's a masked stalker that I really love and she, at first, doesn't know its him. So enjoy the ride!

    My first book by Selena and it wasn't bad. I will definitely give the Carnival Series a go.

    OAN, I love that it wasn't long and drawn out.

    I saw this recommended on Facebook and I’m so happy I looked it up and read it because the primal scenes… chefs kiss!!
  • Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2023
    The premise is really good. Boy she’s loved since high school has been in love with her and stalking her since they met. He’s a violent psycho to anyone but her. K, cool. It was just so… unrealistic. It didn’t seem to flow well and it’s like this author wanted to throw as many different kinks in as possible without it making sense. Knife play, blood play, breath, primal, breeding, mask play, etc. Also it’s cool she’s a little twisted too, but for her to be totally ok with all these things being a V has me rolling my eyes.

    He was so obsessed with her being a virgin, but if he was or not was never stated. It implied he was considering how creepy and intense he came off, obsessed with her since high school, but how skilled he was smexually, knowing just the right thing, was what made it less believable, especially if he was in fact a 21 yo virgin. The smexy scenes were also so so just with the believability factor.

    Grammatical errors and back and forth on little things that have already been stated- like his height- drove me crazy, as if two people were writing this book and just pushed chapters together.

    Is it worth the read? Why not? It’s only 150 pages.

    A little disappointed, I wanted to love this. Sadly no can do. Idk maybe the age or more soo her bff Luna, drove me crazy, annoying AF -terrible bff.
    Soo much potential…Halloween ✔️
    masked man ✔️woods ✔️unhinged ✔️ = I should’ve loved it, it just didn’t work as I had thought I guess

    Ok on a side note, is it just me or does the cover model look like Vanilla Ice…ice ice baby. Well, that was playing in my head lol

    Reviewed in Canada on November 5, 2023
    Short & spicy read.
    Who doesn’t love an obsessed masked stalker who knows what he wants?

    I love novellas even if they do leave me with wanting more.

    I do feel this could use some further editing but regardless I loved it for what it is, dark & sinful.

    Check the TWs if you have any before proceeding, your mental health matters.
