The rooms you trust are the ones that will destroy you.
From sterile medical waiting rooms to your own bedroom, every space you inhabit is plotting against you. ROOMS OF RUIN: An Architecture of Fear takes you on a harrowing journey through fourteen interconnected stories that reveal the sinister truth lurking within familiar walls.
This isn't just another horror collection—it's a deliberate descent into domestic nightmare. Beginning in impersonal public spaces where we perform for strangers, the terror methodically invades temporary refuges like hotel suites and library carrels, before violating the supposed sanctuary of home itself. Each story peels back another layer of false security, showing how kitchens develop appetites, mirrors begin lying, and the architecture itself becomes predatory.
As the collection progresses from shared spaces to the most intimate chambers of existence, familiar anxieties—workplace stress, medical procedures, domestic expectations—manifest as visceral body horror and psychological dissolution. These aren't supernatural intrusions; they're revelations that our most trusted environments have always been elaborate traps, waiting to consume us from within.
Enter these rooms if you dare—but you'll never feel safe in any space again.
