I Heard You in the Dark

I Heard You in the Dark
A Psychological Horror Romance

By South_K

Zara Malik never planned to fall in love with Eli Mercer.

It just happened slowly -
in crowded train stations,
during sleepless research trips,
through unfinished conversations and stolen glances neither of them were brave enough to understand.

For three years, they loved each other in silence.

Then the mountain collapsed.

Trapped deep beneath the earth with four other survivors, Zara and Eli find themselves inside a cave system that should not exist - a place where walls breathe, names appear carved into stone overnight, and something ancient moves through the darkness wearing the voices of people they once trusted.

But the deeper they descend, the more terrifying the cave becomes.

Because the thing beneath the mountain does not simply hunt people.

It listens.

It learns.

And it knows exactly which memories hurt the most.

As fear begins tearing the group apart, long-buried emotions rise violently to the surface, forcing Zara and Eli to confront everything they never said to each other before the darkness consumes them completely.

Haunting, intimate, and emotionally devastating, I Heard You in the Dark is a story about love delayed too long, the unbearable weight of silence, and the horrifying truth that some places do not let people leave once they have learned their secrets.
