When a Child’s Question Becomes a Nightmare

 

When a Child’s Question Becomes a Nightmare

Some stories don’t scream.

They whisper—and somehow that’s worse.

The Empty Child’s Curse: Tales of Horror and Fear begins with a simple question: “Are you my mummy?” It sounds harmless. Sad, even. But in this book, that question doesn’t fade away. It follows people. It slips into quiet streets, safe homes, and kind hearts. What starts as concern slowly turns into fear, and fear turns into something much deeper. This is a horror story about how caring too much can become dangerous.

This book isn’t about jump scares or monsters chasing you down hallways. It’s about the kind of fear that creeps in slowly. The kind that makes you doubt your instincts. Each story explores what happens when people feel responsible for fixing pain that isn’t theirs to fix. The horror comes from emotions we all recognize—kindness, guilt, love—and how those emotions can be twisted.

Written in a haunting, emotional style, The Empty Child’s Curse pulls readers into a world where survival means learning when to say no. The stories stay with you long after you close the book, not because of what you saw—but because of what you felt.

If you love eerie, thoughtful horror that gets under your skin instead of shouting at you, this book is for you.

Coming soon… and it won’t stop asking.
