Nightmares are creatures of shadows, who create nightmares for the humans, transforming their fear, sadness and despair into energy. They are totally invisible and intangible to humans, even if they can grab and touch objects. Desire is one of them. Being chased by another Nightmare, who wants him dead, and all alone, he tries to survive.
And then he meets Camelia. A human capable of sensing Nightmares, which would normally be impossible. Intrigued by her, Desire decides to stay with her. But the thing is; Camelia is no ordinary human: she is blind.

---The first desired something he could never get.
The second wished to be someone else.
The third allied with loved ones to better destroy them.
The last was so different it attracted the others.
For better or for worst.---

Some monsters hide under your bed. This one lives under your skin. For Maggie Caldwell, life was already teetering on the edge. A struggling single mother with two kids and a past she can't outrun, she thought her worst battles were behind her-until the night something inhuman latched onto her family. It starts small: a shadow that shouldn't move, whispers bleeding through the walls, her children waking up screaming with words they shouldn't know. But this is no ghost. It's something older, hungrier. And it doesn't just haunt-it burrows. As the creature digs deeper, feeding on her fears and regrets, Maggie must confront the secrets she's buried and the choices she never wanted to make. The closer she gets to the truth, the tighter its grip becomes. It wants her. It knows her. And if Maggie doesn't fight back, it'll consume everything-her sanity, her family, and the last scraps of her soul. But how do you kill a monster that already knows all your darkest thoughts? Gripping, visceral, and unrelenting, "It Knows Your Name" will drag you to the edge of fear and leave you questioning the shadows in your own mind.
