​Introduction

Welcome to a world where shadows come to life and the darkest secrets lurk in the most inaccessible places. As you turn the pages, you will find yourself immersed in a terrifying universe of the unknown, where each story will draw you deeper into a world of horror, suspense and twisted imagination.

From the icy mists of Norway to the mysterious forests of Canada and the ruins of ancient civilisations, each tale spins a web of dread and mystery. The characters in these stories are as diverse as their fates: innocent people who did not see what was coming, explorers lost in forgotten places, and witnesses to events that should have remained buried. Each one is confronted with a reality far darker than anything they could have imagined.

The settings are not just backdrops; they are alive and breathing — and often more terrifying than the creatures they harbour. Whispering forests, old houses and deserted streets are masks for curses and traps for the unwary.

This collection is an invitation to anxiety and curiosity. But be warned: once you cross the threshold into each story, you will not emerge unscathed. The darkness you encounter there will haunt your mind long after you have turned the last page.

You will slowly sink deeper into this darkness, where horror lurks beneath every strange noise and shifting shadow. And who knows? Perhaps some of these stories are not confined to the realm of fiction.

Ready to begin? Then take a deep breath and allow yourself to be consumed.

The fjord was dark and endless, its edges defined by mountains with ice-covered peaks. Inger, a young Norwegian guide, had taken on an unusual assignment: to accompany a man named Jakob to an abandoned house at the bottom of the Aurlandsfjord where nobody had lived for decades.

'Why there?' She asked, suspicious of the man with the red beard and pale eyes.

'It was my family's house.' I need to see if it's still standing.'

They set off in a boat under a heavy sky. The silence of the water felt like a coffin. Jakob barely spoke. He stared at the shore as if expecting faces to appear between the rocks.

After two hours of rowing, they reached a narrow cove. The house was there, in ruins but still standing. The wood
