"They say dreams are just fragments of the mind... But what if they're doorways? Maps? Curses?" In this anthology of night-born tales, step into the twisted dreams of a person who never sleeps in peace. Haunted by blood-stained games, cursed schools, demonic bargains, and ghostly whispers that never fade, each short story is pulled directly from the author's own nightmares. Some dreams are forgotten. Others fight to be remembered. The Different Dimensions is not just a collection-it's a haunted archive. A dimension stitched from fear, death, and a mind that refuses to close its eyes. Do not read before bed. Unless you want to wake up... somewhere else.
