Horror House application

Hi,

I’m selling my Android app Horror House. Asking price is open to reasonable offers.

You can download and test it here:

Horror House is a horror and paranormal content app that is fully completed and includes:

520 horror stories

260 short stories (under 15 minutes)

90 medium stories (15 to 30 minutes)

56 long stories (30 to 60 minutes)

133 very long stories (over 60 minutes, with some lasting up to 40 hours and 47 minutes)

100 online horror books.

A complete guide to 50 different types of jinn with images and detailed information including their abilities, appearance, habitat, diet, and many other characteristics.

Paranormal opinions and experiences from around 30 well-known people.

A section where users can submit their own scary stories and real-life experiences.

User settings with adjustable text size from 16 to 25 and 12 horror-themed background colors. The text color changes automatically to match the selected background.

The app was recently published on Google Play and currently has 178 downloads and 65 monthly active users.

By the way, I released an update on June 27, but unfortunately that version had a major issue that affected the app’s performance because of that, I experienced a drop in installations, from 166 total installs to 124.

The issue has been fixed, and the app is now working properly again. Since the app is still new I believe it has a lot of potential to grow with proper marketing and updates.

The reason I’m selling it is simple. I can’t monetize it because I don’t have PayPal, Payoneer, or another payment method supported for Google Ads payouts, and those services aren’t available in the country where I live.

The app has good monetization potential. You can add banner ads, interstitial ads to unlock the long-story sections, rewarded video ads for very long stories in the free version, and even in-app purchases later to increase revenue.

Since the app is still new, it has not reached its full audience potential yet. With proper marketing, ASO optimization, and monetization strategies, it has strong potential to grow into a profitable horror content platform.

The app is already completed, with a large amount of organized content and a unique theme. It can be expanded further in the future by adding more stories, books, user features, and additional monetization methods.

If you’re interested, feel free to download the app, test it, and send me your offer. I’m open to reasonable offers from serious buyers.

Did you think about copyrights? For example modern authors such as H.D. Carlton and Lee Mountford
See the following hints by ChatGPT below

Apps that offer collections of horror stories generally use one of four legal models:

Public-domain library (the easiest)

This is how many free reading apps operate.

Examples of authors whose original English works are generally in the public domain include:

Edgar Allan Poe

H.P. Lovecraft

M.R. James

Sheridan Le Fanu

Algernon Blackwood

Ambrose Bierce

Bram Stoker

F. Marion Crawford

You can include the original texts without asking permission. However:

Don’t copy a modern annotated edition.

Don’t use a modern translation unless its copyright has expired.

Don’t use copyrighted cover art.

License from authors or publishers

For modern horror writers (for example H.D. Carlton or Lee Mountford), you need a license.

A typical agreement covers:

Which stories you may publish.

Whether users may download them.

Countries where the app is available.

Royalty or one-time payment.

Duration of the agreement.

Many independent authors are willing to license stories to apps if they receive payment or exposure.

User-submitted stories

Many horror apps build their own library by inviting writers to submit stories.

The submission agreement should clearly state that:

The author owns the copyright.

The author grants your app a non-exclusive license to publish the story.

The author can request removal under agreed conditions.

This lets you build a unique collection legally.

Link instead of copy

Instead of storing copyrighted stories in your app, you can link to places where they are legally available (for example, public-domain libraries or the publisher’s website). This is much simpler from a copyright perspective.

A good business model

A legally safe horror app could include:

Hundreds of public-domain horror stories.

New stories from independent authors under license.

Optional AI or human narration (licensed where required).

Dark mode and offline reading.

Bookmarks and reading progress.

Ratings and recommendations.

This creates a growing library without infringing copyright.

Where to find public-domain stories

Excellent legal sources include:

Project Gutenberg – thousands of public-domain books.

Standard Ebooks – carefully proofread editions of public-domain works.

Internet Archive – many historical editions.

Wikisource – public-domain texts in many languages.

These sites provide texts you can legally use (subject to their terms and ensuring the work is truly in the public domain in your target countries).

If you’re planning to publish on Google Play, you should check Google’s policies on copyrighted books and what documentation you should keep in case Google reviews your app.

I know, but I copied them from a website where all the stories were public domain and if there were stories from newer or living authors the publishers themselves had made those stories public and allowed them to be added to the site.

Sorry to ask.
I might be interested, but before downloading the app, viewing it, evaluating it, etc., I’d like to know the price.
You’re the one selling, and you’re the one who has to set a price.
When you go to buy something, the seller writes the price! At least in the countries I’ve been, that’s how it works.
Bottom line: give a price; if it’s close to what you think you’re willing to spend, you can start a negotiation, which isn’t necessarily always lower!
