Shadows Among Us. Three stories. One chilling thread. A horror that feels too close to home.

This is not the kind of horror that screams—it whispers. The fear in these pages doesn’t leap out; it sits with you long after you've turned the last page. If you’ve ever felt something watching you from the corner of your eye, or sensed a shift in the air at night, you’ll feel right at home in these stories.

Each one is deeply grounded, terrifying not because of what jumps out, but because of how familiar it all feels. The kind of unease that’s quiet, personal, and deeply Indian in spirit—subtle, culturally rooted, and bone-deep.

In The Man Who Waits, a silent figure appears again and again. He never moves. Never speaks. But he’s always there. Closer. Every time.

The Sofia Case begins with a missing person investigation—but turns into a disturbing dive into the things we pretend not to see. The detective wants answers. What he finds, though, might be something that never should have been uncovered.

Mouse’s in the Closet is set in a small town where something is off. People sense it, but no one talks about it. It’s not a ghost story. It’s more unsettling than that—because the horror hides in things we think are normal.

This collection isn’t about gore or shock value. It’s about the quiet dread we’ve all felt—especially those of us who grew up with stories of spirits, abandoned rooms, and a sense that some things are just… not right.

If you’ve ever been told not to whistle at night, or felt the chill of a room gone too quiet—you’ll understand these stories.

Perfect for readers who:

• Enjoy psychological horror grounded in reality

• Prefer slow-building suspense over jump scares

• Like short stories that leave a lasting impression

• Appreciate culturally resonant, western-style horror

• Are fans of Black Mirror, Shirley Jackson, or realistic supernatural thrillers

Shadows Among Us doesn’t rely on tricks. It earns your fear slowly. And once it’s with you… it doesn’t leave easily.
