What do we become when the world breaks around us?
In this haunting collection of speculative and psychological horror, six stories explore the fragile boundary between self and shadow, truth and delusion, reality and the impossible. From fractured simulations to identity-stealing reflections, ancient forces to futuristic plagues-every tale is a crack in the mirror.
The World That Never Was follows a digital ghost trapped in an endlessly resetting utopia.
Dust of Madness buries the apocalypse beneath a cloud of engineered terror.
The Threshold reveals the hidden intelligence lurking beneath Earth's oceans-and our denial.
The Variable bends timelines to ask: what if dying is just switching lanes?
Between Heartbeats redefines life and death through necromantic inheritance.
And in the final, chilling tale-The Hollowing-a man makes a deal to be loved... and loses his soul to a better version of himself.
Refractions is a descent into identity horror-where reality warps, memories lie, and the worst monsters wear your face. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, Annihilation, and stories that leave you questioning what you are... and who you've been replaced by.
