Whispers, That Turn Into Screams: A Collection of Horror, Obsession, and Psychological Thrillers

About The Book

Behind the closed doors of Indian homes, in the corners of crowded cities and quiet villages, something dark waits to be noticed.

A mother stitches memories into her saree, one haunting thread at a time.
A spiritual guru promises peace-but her predictions carry a cost.
A family therapy session unravels into a war of unspoken truths.
A forest officer flags down a passing tempo in the dead of night-setting off a tense, chilling journey that ends with a discovery no one could have imagined.
A routine day at the bank takes a strange turn after a soft-spoken visitor leaves behind a file no one dares question.

In these ten chilling tales, the ordinary slowly gives way to dread. No ghosts leap from the shadows. Instead, horror emerges from guilt, grief, blind faith, and fractured minds.

Whispers, That Turn Into Screams! is a slow-burn descent into the kind of fear we all live with but rarely name-rooted in culture, tradition, and the stories we tell ourselves to feel safe.

Perfect for readers of literary horror, dark fiction, and psychological thrillers that haunt long after the last page.
