📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A collection of thirty-three horror tales about reality unraveling.

The book examines the terrifying implications of broken human bonds. Gallagher uses the metaphor of invisible strings to structure his narratives. Each story represents a moment where these connections fail. The resulting void allows malevolent entities to act. This approach creates a sense of pervasive dread rather than isolated scares. The collection does not offer resolution or comfort. It presents a world where safety is an illusion maintained only by fragile ties. Readers encounter various forms of supernatural threat tied to this central concept. The work stands as a study in vulnerability and exposure.
