Prey Until Dawn

Daryn Guarino presents Prey Until Dawn, a collection of occult horror stories centered on the destructive knowledge found within an ancient book. The narrative spans different eras, offering darkly thrilling tales that explore heart-pounding torment, frantic desperation, and raw despair through the ages. This volume combines the first four Tales of the Yellow Book with a short bonus chapter, creating a cohesive yet varied reading experience for fans of the genre. The structure allows readers to encounter multiple perspectives on the same cursed artifact. Each story contributes to the overarching theme of how ancient texts can corrupt and destroy those who seek their power. Guarino draws on established horror traditions to craft these narratives, focusing on the psychological and physical toll inflicted by forbidden knowledge. The inclusion of the bonus chapter adds an extra layer to the collection, providing additional context or a concluding thought on the central motif. This book suits readers who enjoy supernatural fiction that emphasizes dread and consequence over action. It is not intended for those seeking lighthearted entertainment or straightforward adventure plots. The focus remains tightly on the atmospheric weight of the Yellow Book and its impact on various characters across time. Guarino’s work stands as a solid entry in independent horror publishing, appealing to those who appreciate classic tropes delivered with modern intensity.
