Haley Newlin zdieľa prirodzenú krásu hororu prostredníctvom svojho písania, inšpirovaná jej láskou k temným a pochmúrnym témam. Autorka tká príbehy o šialenstve a zvedavosti, ktoré sa pýtajú: „Čoho sa bojíte?“ Verí, že horor si vyžaduje sebareflexiu, a možno práve to robí tieto skrútené príbehy skutočne desivými. Jej diela skúmajú temnú stránku ľudskej psychiky s naliehavosťou a hĺbkou.
Exploring the themes of mortality and the complexities of youth, the narrative delves into the protagonist's contemplations about life and death. Through introspective moments, the character grapples with the allure of a life cut short versus the potential of a future filled with uncertainties. This thought-provoking journey invites readers to reflect on the value of existence and the choices that define it.
No one knows your darkness like your own Shadow. Nothing has been normal for Teddy, not since discovering the harsh identity of the monster he had been living with his whole life-his own father. Teddy and his mother leave that behind to start over in a small Indiana township. But as Teddy begins to learn of humanity's monsters, he unveils an otherworldly evil he calls "The Shadow." The Shadow tests Teddy's vulnerability and growing sense of isolation, poisoning his mind and conjuring a vile killer-in-the-making. A year later, Officer Leonard Strode is called in to offer consultation on a case similar to the most brutal and scarring of those he's worked on before. One is the case of Jackie Warren, the other, Theodore "Teddy" Blackwood - two missing children. As he and two other officers follow the trail of clues, Strode is haunted by the ghosts of his own past and is horrified to find them wreaking havoc on his present. When both Teddy and Strode finally meet face-to-face, they must confront their inner darkness as well or else be consumed by it.
