Let Them In is a collection of thematically-related short horror concerning wilderness, temptation, and the unexplained. Spirits, monsters, mysteries, and things unnamed can all be found within these stories, asking for admittance past thresholds of the home or head. Whatever you do, do not let them in. The Dog at the Door: A person waiting out winter in a small cabin takes in a strange dog. The Other Passengers: A shortcut home leads a man to become lost on a lonely backwoods road at night. The Edges: When a boy is left home alone, some new friends come to visit. When the Dead Walk: For one night a year, the dead do not sleep. The Prospect House: A once-acclaimed hotel, the Prospect House closed in 1903, two decades after its opening. What events led to its demise? The Blue-Stocking Game: Probably fine. Perfectly safe. A Clean Cut in the Bloated Flesh: Livestock falls over dead and strange apparitions are seen as a small town is covered in a plague of flies. Ribbereye: The call came long and low over the hills. He couldn't identify it, but it filled him with dread.

This story was not simply written... it was dreamed. One night, I (Shawori) saw it unfold in my sleep-so vivid, so suffocating-that when I awoke, I had no choice but to trap it in words before it disappeared. I am the main writer, but I was not entirely alone. My friend, @Moragene12 , designed the haunting cover and whispered eerie fragments of ideas that sank into the shadows of this tale. Together, we gave the dream a shape... and a voice. Though fictional, fragments of it may feel disturbingly real. If you recognize something within these words, perhaps the nightmare has already found you. 👁️ ⚠️ Warning: This is a horror tale. It does not end when you stop reading-it waits, quietly, in the silence of your room. Read softly. Read slowly. And whatever you do... don't look over your shoulder.
