CRAVE FOR THE SHADOWS ✓

★ COMPLETE • UNEDITED ★

"ARE YOU CRAVING FOR 'SOMETHING' THESE DAYS?"

Atheia's gone, but her ghost never stopped talking. Dawson knows it can't be her-yet her name flickers on his phone's notification bar.

Three photos. No captions. Each one drags him deeper into the night he tried to forget. A nightmare that bleeds into reality.

And as the shadows whisper his name, Dawson learns that some desires don't die.

They wait. Watching. Starving.
