Six stories. One creeping certainty: you should have looked away.
Along Comes Fear: Volume 01 - Where the Darkness Gathers is a horror fiction anthology that pulls readers through six standalone nightmares, each one built to unsettle in a different way. An astronomer tracking a routine orbital correction discovers a deviation that shouldn't exist - and a threat approaching from beyond Neptune that no one is prepared for. A father barricaded in a shopping mall dome fights to keep his family alive as the dead swarm outside. A classified containment team learns why some anomalies must never, ever stop being watched. A shop that sells cursed antiques finds the perfect buyer for its most dangerous piece. A group of friends attempts a summoning ritual for fun - and gets exactly what they asked for. And in a quiet retirement home, something waits for the residents that isn't natural aging.
Blending supernatural horror, psychological dread, occult folklore, and apocalyptic tension, this collection is built for readers who love slow-burn suspense, cosmic horror, SCP-style containment fiction, and stories where the monster is never quite what you expect. Each tale stands alone, but together they form a portrait of fear in all its forms: cosmic, viral, institutional, transactional, and intimate.
Perfect for fans of: horror anthologies, creepypasta and SCP Foundation-style fiction, occult and supernatural horror, apocalyptic and zombie fiction, and short horror fiction collections built for binge-reading.
Reader discretion advised: this volume contains themes of supernatural threat, psychological dread, occult content, violence, death, and disturbing imagery. Intended for mature teen and adult readers.
