Mike Harris thought his struggle with anxiety and sleep disturbances was behind him, but when the terrifying episodes of sleep paralysis return, they bring something darker-a presence lurking in the shadows, watching, waiting. As the haunting visions grow more vivid, Mike uncovers a horrifying truth: the curse tormenting him has haunted his family for generations.

Desperate for answers, Mike embarks on a journey into his family's past, discovering cryptic journals and the mysterious disappearance of a man named Abraham Dunn. What begins as a search for the origins of his nightmares soon leads him to a decaying house on the edge of town, where shadows flicker in the corners and whispers echo in the night.

With the help of his friend Sara, Mike unravels the chilling connection between his bloodline and a malevolent force sealed deep beneath the earth. But the shadows grow stronger, and the line between nightmare and reality begins to blur.

To save his sanity-and his life-Mike must confront the terrifying truth about "the source" and find a way to sever the curse. But some bonds are not so easily broken, and the darkness may be closer than he thinks.All Rights Reserved

Whispers in the Dark by SVSato

Fifteen years ago, Claire Harper fled her childhood home, determined never to return. The house had been a place of secrets, whispers, and tragedies-most notably, the mysterious death of her best friend, Sarah, found cold and lifeless in the basement. Claire left everything behind, including her fractured relationship with her sister, Julia. But when Julia goes missing without a trace, Claire has no choice but to return to the decaying house she swore she'd never see again. The police have no answers, but cryptic messages on her phone suggest someone knows more about Julia's disappearance-and about what really happened all those years ago. As Claire digs deeper, old memories resurface: the strange noises in the house, the feeling of being watched, and the creeping sense that something malevolent has always lurked within its walls. With each step closer to the truth, Claire realizes that the line between memory and madness is dangerously thin-and the answers she seeks might just shatter everything she thought she knew about her family, her past, and herself. In this gripping psychological thriller, Whispers in the Dark explores the dark recesses of the mind and the haunting power of buried secrets. Some truths are better left forgotten... but what if they're the only thing that can save you?
