Nyctophobia: Fear of Darkness What do you see when the lights go out? In Nyctophobia: Fear of Darkness, step into a world where shadows move on their own, silence hums with whispers, and the dark isn't empty—it's alive. Inspired by the disturbing brilliance of Junji Ito and the slow-burning dread of PTSD Radio, this collection of horror short stories drags you deep into the blackest corners of the human mind.

But be warned: some fears don’t fade with the morning light. Sometimes, darkness follows.
