Some things are better left forgotten. Some truths are better left unseen.
What readers are saying:
I couldn't sleep after 'The Disappearing Album.' Just... wow.
These aren't your typical jump-scare stories. They get under your skin and stay there.
'The Reader' made me question everything about myself. Absolutely haunting.
Product Description
A widow discovers her late husband's photos are vanishing, along with her memories of who he really was.
A struggling writer meets a stranger who offers the perfect compliments. The price? Everything that makes him human.
A family finds a stain in their rental home. It moves. It searches. And it remembers what was buried beneath.
Eleven stories of psychological terror that explore the space between what we remember and what really happened. Between who we think we are and what we're becoming.
In 11 Terror Tales, Megin Broun crafts horror that doesn't rely on gore or cheap scares. Instead, these stories burrow deep into the uncomfortable places we try not to think about: the ways we deceive ourselves, the things we pretend not to notice, the small compromises that lead to terrible transformations.
From mysterious trains that arrive at impossible stations to sleep timers that count down to something ancient and hungry, from photographs that capture too much truth to books that read their readers, these tales blend psychological dread with supernatural horror in ways that will linger long after you turn the final page.
Perfect for fans of:
- Psychological horror that makes you question reality
- Stories that reveal uncomfortable truths about human nature
- Contemporary horror with literary depth
- Collections where each story feels like a descent into a new nightmare
Content warnings: These stories contain themes of grief, manipulation, body horror, existential dread, and the loss of identity. Not recommended for readers seeking light entertainment.
What Makes These Stories DifferentThey're about transformation, not just terror. Each protagonist faces a choice between an unbearable truth and a comforting lie. The horror comes from watching them choose, and from recognizing ourselves in their decisions.
They trust the reader. No excessive gore. No over-explained monsters. Just creeping dread that builds with each page until you realize you're already trapped in the story.
They connect. While each story stands alone, themes and images echo throughout the collection, creating a cohesive experience that rewards careful readers.
They ask uncomfortable questions:
- What if the thing you're running from is yourself?
- What if your greatest gift is actually destroying everyone around you?
- What if you've already become the monster?
A Note from the Author
I write the kind of horror that makes you check your reflection a little too long. That makes you wonder about the choices you've already made. These aren't stories about monsters hiding in the dark, they're about the moment you realize you've been carrying the darkness with you all along.
Megin Broun
