Do you believe a story can be a cage? Or that a camera can steal more than just an image? Welcome to a world where the most terrifying tales are the ones that are true.

Shadows at Midnight is a masterfully crafted horror anthology that peels back the veil of reality to reveal the unsettling darkness that lurks beneath. This collection of fifteen interconnected tales explores the chilling idea that some objects are not merely haunted by the past, but are active participants in it—and that some stories don't want to be told, they want to be collected.

Venture into the shadows and discover:

  • The Photographer's Last Frame: A photographer obsessed with urban decay finds his final subject in the abandoned Blackwood Asylum, only to discover his camera captures a malevolent spirit that wants to add him to its collection.
  • Beneath the Floorboards: A young family's dream of renovating a Victorian home becomes a nightmare when they uncover a sentient, parasitic growth in the walls—a "Corpus Radix" that feeds on memory, dreams, and life itself.
  • Room 237: The owner of a historic hotel is forced to confront the dark secret of a perpetually empty room, unearthing a tragedy of a mother and child whose sorrow has stained the very fabric of the building.
  • The Midnight Caller: A hardened detective hunts a phantom killer who passes through locked doors and scares his victims to death, only to find a cursed paperback that is writing him into its final, terrifying chapter.
  • These are just a few of the horrors that await. From a haunted antique music box to a mirror that trades perfection for your soul, each story stands as a chilling monument to fear. But a horrifying meta-narrative weaves them all together, revealing that these tragedies are not random. They are acquisitions for a silent, patient collector known only as The Librarian, and his library is always hungry for new, terrifying entries.

    Perfect for fans of Stephen King's short fiction, the atmospheric dread of Shirley Jackson, and the modern terrors of The Black Tapes podcast, Shadows at Midnight is more than a book—it's an experience. It will make you question the history of every object you own and the true nature of the stories you read.
