It Knows Your Name (finished)
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.
