Samhane
A slow-burning horror novel focusing on mood and psychological isolation.
This title distinguishes itself by rejecting comfort in favor of unrelenting dread.

By leaving space for the imagination to fill in the blanks, Russell ensures that the fear remains personal and persistent. The book does not offer relief through action sequences but instead maintains a consistent pressure on the mind. It is a study in how atmosphere can generate terror more effectively than explicit violence or sudden events.
Published in 2020 by an independent publisher, this work sits within the contemporary landscape of self-published horror fiction. It reflects a trend toward gritty, atmospheric storytelling that prioritizes mood over mainstream commercial appeal, offering a raw alternative to traditional publishing norms.
