The Shape of Nothing

Fear isn’t always loud. Sometimes it waits in reflections, in the corners of certainty, in the things you insist don’t exist. In the isolated Fire Tower Four, skeptic Arthur dismisses legends as childish nonsense—until the storm and a companion’s warning prove that denial can be deadly. The Inverse Man is no ghost, no monster with claws or fangs. He is the void made flesh, a living absence that trades places with those who are absolutely certain he isn’t real. The Shape of Nothing is a tense, psychological horror about skepticism, cosmic rules, and the terrifying cost of certainty in a world that refuses to honor it.

The Man They Say Never Existed

Every town has a rumor it pretends not to believe. He appears ordinary—easy to forget, impossible to ignore. If you meet his eyes, something slips away: a memory, a certainty, the feeling that your thoughts are entirely your own. People insist he isn’t real. Doctors have names for him. Files explain him neatly. But the gaps remain. As sightings accumulate and lives begin to thin at the edges, one rational mind follows the trail too closely and discovers the most dangerous truth of all: some predators don’t stalk bodies—they curate identities. The Man They Say Never Existed is a psychological horror about memory theft, institutional gaslighting, and the terror of realizing your doubts were never your own.

The Bonfire Wasn’t for Dancing

A lonely man searching for belonging joins a church that promises openness, community, and love—but some communities don’t reject outsiders, they reserve them. As faith blurs into ritual and inclusion comes with a price, he learns too late that being unwanted was never the danger. This is a psychological horror story about manufactured belonging, ritualized faith, and the terror of realizing you were never excluded—only saved for sacrifice.
