He's always closer than she thinks... but is it real, or just her mind playing tricks? Some games are deadly. Some hunters are invisible. Some fears are real... and some are only in your mind. Evelyn Harlowe thought she had escaped the worst of life-until the night her husband, son, and daughter vanished without a trace. Their bodies were never found, but the horror didn't end there. Now, a brilliant and terrifying predator is playing a twisted game with her. Shoes, photographs, a lock of hair... each item a cruel reminder that someone is always watching. Someone who knows her family intimately, someone who takes pleasure in fear and grief. But Evelyn's mind is not always a reliable guide. Premonitions, fleeting visions, and the shadows of her trauma blur the line between reality and imagination. In the heart of New York City, every dark alley, every abandoned building could be a trap-or just another trick of her mind. As obsession, desire, and terror collide, Evelyn must confront her past, her fears, and the predator who is closer than she could ever imagine.

Fear made flesh
Agree, each of us is afraid of the darkness, or rather, of what hides there: under-the-bed monsters, ghosts, and forest creatures. But we must always remember that the most terrifying monster has always been, is, and will be a human being. But what if we mix all of this? Here, you will find stories... truly terrifying stories that could happen to any of us, horrors of our reality, which can be explained not only from a scientific perspective but also from something else, something otherworldly... and that will be the scariest part. Here, mysticism and real life will blend together, intertwining each tale like a red thread, allowing you to choose your own explanation for the story you've read. These are not stories based on real events... this is real events. Or could it just be a lie?) The choice is yours to make.Complete
