📚 WHAT THE BOOK IS ABOUT

A horror collection by Winter May Sterling featuring eerie tales of hidden evil and technology.

The inclusion of technology highlights a modern fear where tools meant to protect reveal human corruption. The sibling dynamic in one story adds a personal layer to the horror, making the threat feel intimate. These elements combine to create a reading experience that is both classic and current.
