Dare to open the door.
SNARED is a razor-edged collection of modern horror stories where the ordinary-an old mirror, a home renovation, a morning commute, a church sanctuary, a trending feed-becomes the threshold to something hungry. Across roughly 52,000 words, these tales slide from domestic unease into the uncanny with cinematic reveals, cruel twists, and images that linger like a bad dream.
A young couple lifts a trapdoor and meets a presence that can't touch them, but can make them do anything it wants. A commuter wakes to find his job, identity, and alibi erased, while the evidence insists he murdered his boss that morning. A boutique wall mirror delivers more than décor when a shape behind the glass decides it wants a life, and a body, of its own. A government behavior lab pitches a flawless neighborhood using soundtracks and signals, if a bright teenager will help them keep everyone making the right choice. A hospice nurse's amulet, a throne deep in the woods, a sealed atomic-age coffin, a smiling stranger in the apocalypse, a livestream that never logs off, and a safari stop no one will survive....each story tightens, then snaps.
For readers of Stephen Graham Jones, Paul Tremblay, and Black Mirror, SNARED blends folklore, techno-dread, and moral reckoning into sharp, self-contained shocks that share one obsession: the moment a threshold gives way and the thing on the other side steps through.
