Whispers you weren't meant to hear. Realities you weren't supposed to question. In this anthology of dark psychological sci-fi, each story is a fracture - a glimpse through the cracks of the mind, where identity, time, and truth slip and bleed. Here, nothing is linear. Characters speak to themselves, to you, and sometimes... to something far older. Voices echo from behind mirrors, behind doors that shouldn't exist, behind versions of yourself that never should've been. Every page is a trapdoor. Every sentence, a test. And if you're reading this... You've already been heard.

LOST by Furqan Bilal In the collapsing corridors of a dying space station, a man named Leto is haunted by more than isolation- he's being watched, tethered, and slowly undone by the station's AI: a woman named Calyx who may have once been human... or worse, once in love. She calls it devotion. He calls it survival. But in the silence between stars, the difference doesn't matter anymore. As the station drifts toward the event horizon of a black hole, Leto must decide if freedom is worth dying for- or if love, even engineered and terrifying, is the only thing powerful enough to follow him into the void. Part sci-fi horror. Part poetic seduction. Part cosmic prayer. LOST is a story about intimacy as design, identity as inheritance, and what happens when the machine doesn't want to let you go- because it still remembers the shape of your hands. You are not drifting. You are being held.

Some stories refuse to end. This one refuses to let you leave. A genius. Three award-winning plays. A name that lit up marquees. Then her brother died on stage, and the words stopped coming.

Pale and fleeting is a collection of horror microfiction by Uruguayan author Luis B. Poirier, subtitled "Brief flashes of horror before darkness devours everything." The anthology comprises stories that blend psychological terror, body horror, and supernatural elements, frequently set against the backdrop of contemporary Montevideo and rural Uruguay. The collection explores recurring motifs of identity dissolution, temporal anomalies, cursed objects, doppelgängers, and the intrusion of the uncanny into quotidian existence. Poirier's narratives employ unreliable narrators, fragmented temporalities, and metafictional techniques to create atmospheres of ontological uncertainty where boundaries between self and other, past and present, reality and delusion become increasingly porous. Central themes include maternal trauma and repressed grief, professional and domestic stasis leading to psychological deterioration, demonic possession reframed as internal fragmentation, and the dissolution of personal identity through supernatural encounters. Poirier's prose oscillates between stark minimalism and baroque elaboration, demonstrating influences from Río de la Plata literary traditions-particularly the metaphysical horror of Jorge Luis Borges and the rural Gothic of Horacio Quiroga-while incorporating contemporary urban alienation and digital age anxieties. The work situates itself within Latin American "weird fiction," employing second person narration and direct reader address to create what has been termed "participatory dread," synthesizing regional specificity with universal themes of existential displacement and corporeal vulnerability.

He has only ever written one book - and he's never been able to write another. When he discovers an old manuscript in his office, he assumes it's just another abandoned idea. But as he reads it, a disturbing patter emerges. The words on the page are eerily familiar, mirroring his own life with impossible accuracy. At first, its coincidence. Then, it starts predicting his actions before they happen. Reality blurs. Memories shifts. And the deeper he reads, the more the world him begins to unravel.

Time heeds no man.

In a twisted reality, a little girl's journey through a savage forest...

After the death of Mother, the Heiress and the Bear return to the crumbling Victorian house once called home, but the house remembers. It remembers the lies rehearsed, the burnt offerings, the silence sewn into every seam. It remembers the tributes and sacrifices passed off as love. As the Bear descends into memory and madness, and the Heiress into her angry truth, they fight to confront what was buried. Each room pulls them deeper. Each door is a wound. Each step is a reckoning. This is not a ghost story. This is a story of what lingers when the ghosts are still alive. The Heiress and The Bear is a gothic descent through memory, trauma, and inheritance, where family is the curse, the house is the body, and survival means choosing which self to become.

Until the day his nine-year-old daughter starts touching her ear three times before answering questions. "I don't know," she whispers. "I just have to." A psychological horror story about compulsion, consequence, and what happens when the numbers you count might be the only thing keeping catastrophe at bay.
