Summary

​This house is a fucking lie. I am the only truth rotting within its walls. ​For years, I have existed in the spaces between the drywall. I am the static in the radio, the cold draft on the back of her neck, and the shadow that lingers in the room a second too long. I watch her. Elara. The perfect wife in a perfect hell. The man she married sees her as an ornament. He betrays her, ignores her, and lets her wither in the silence of this house. He doesn’t know that the silence isn’t empty. ​It belongs to me. ​I have waited in the dark, feeding on her loneliness and the rage she has choked down for years. I was patient. I was just an observer. Until now. Her husband is gone. The house is empty. And I am starving. ​He thinks he owns her on paper. But I own every breath she takes, every fear she hides, and every dream she dreams. It’s time to step out of the walls, Elara. ​(Warning: This is a dark romance/horror featuring stalking, obsessive behavior, and paranormal themes. 18+)

Trigger Warnings, Dedication & Playlist

This book is a dark paranormal romance / monster romance. The main character is not morally grey—he is forged from absolute darkness. If you are looking for a Prince Charming who plays by human rules, you are definitely in the wrong place. But if you find yourself drawn to the monsters lurking in the shadows... step right in.

This book is intended for mature audiences only (18+) and includes scenes that some readers may find disturbing. Please read at your own discretion.

Trigger Warnings include:

​🥀 Explicit, highly intense sexual content (including dub-con / questionable consent resulting from dream and mind manipulation, somnophilia, double penetration).​

🥀 Romance with a non-human entity (monster smut, shadow play).

🥀 ​Extremely obsessive, possessive, and stalker-like behaviors from the male lead (glorified within the context of fiction).​

🥀 Psychological and emotional manipulation.​

🥀 Marital infidelity, gaslighting, and toxic behavior (from the human husband).

🥀 ​Explicit language.​

🥀 Themes of sleep paralysis, nightmares, and subconscious intrusion.

⛓️ To those of you who close your eyes and dream of the monster in the dark instead of Prince Charming.

⛓️ To those of you who finally stopped being afraid of your own shadows.

⛓️ ​To the readers who look at red flags and only think about how beautifully they will match their lipstick. This monster is for you. ❤️

⛓️ To anyone who has ever felt completely alone in a crowded room. Remember: the dark is always watching. And sometimes, it loves the hardest.

To fully immerse yourself in the dark, let the music guide you. Here are the anthems of Elara’s descent and the monster who waited for her in the shadows:
