Everything She Feared

Hello everyone. I'm the creator of the horror short story collection *We Are the Fear*. For me, creating this work is like embarking on an exciting journey to explore the dark corners deep within the human soul. It's also a fantastical adventure of translating the thrilling inspirations surging in my heart into words. For a long time, the horror genre has had an irresistible appeal to me. The unknown and dangers lurking beneath the surface of daily life always stir up my boundless imagination. Many moments in life, whether it's the eerie shadow cast by an ancient building or the sudden strange sounds in the dead of night, can become the sparks for my creation, lighting the fuse of one terrifying story after another. I'm enthusiastic about excavating the most hidden and fragile parts of human nature. In my opinion, the complexity of human nature is an inexhaustible wellspring for horror stories. Everyone has seeds of fear within. It could be the fear of loneliness, the worry about loss, or the awe of unknown forces. I attempt to amplify these emotions in my works, placing them in extreme situations to showcase the diverse reactions of human nature in the face of fear. Each story in *We Are the Fear* is a painstakingly crafted crystallization of horror. I'm dedicated to creating an atmosphere that can make readers' hearts pound and send chills down their spines. Starting with environmental descriptions, I use delicate strokes to sketch out gloomy scenes, enabling readers to feel as if they're on the scene and experience the chilling sensation that rushes towards them. Then, I delve into the characters' inner worlds, depicting their psychological changes when confronted with horror, so that readers can truly empathize with the characters' fear and despair. When it comes to the narrative rhythm, I strive to achieve a proper balance. I artfully set suspense, keeping readers in a state of high tension and curiosity throughout the reading process, eager to uncover the mystery. And at appropriate times, I slow down the pace, giving readers a brief moment of respite while inadvertently planting new foreshadows to prepare for the next onslaught of fear. I hope this book can bring readers an ultimate horror experience. While reading, they can feel the excitement of an adrenaline rush, and after closing the book, they can sink into profound contemplation about human nature and the unknown. *We Are the Fear* is not merely a collection of stories; it's a testament to my love and pursuit of horror literature. I hope it can touch the unique perception of horror deep within each reader's heart.

Silas Kane, the wealthiest and most feared man in the country, built his fortune through illegal gold mining, corruption and ruthless ambition.

But his power is threatened when Governor Elias Morrow, a fearless politician, launches an investigation into the country’s missing gold reserves and determined to expose the truth behind Kane’s empire. As the walls begin to close in, Silas’s carefully constructed world starts to crumble. His wife, Celeste, begins to uncover the dark secrets of his past while his closest allies grow uncertain of their loyalty. With enemies gathering both inside and outside his empire, Silas must decide whether to crush those who stand against him or risk everything he has built. But as his mother once warned him, “Gold can be heavy. Too heavy to carry alone.” And in the end, the weight of his past may be the one thing even he cannot escape.

Apocalypse: I Copy Everything The world changed overnight. Dungeons erupted across the earth, monsters spilled into the streets, and humanity teetered on the brink of extinction.

A predator in human form, Maximus carves his way through the apocalypse, stealing power from dungeon bosses, mutant beasts, and even the systems that govern reality itself. From copying superhuman strength to divine flames, from mastering spatial manipulation to immortality, his hunger for power knows no bounds. And when he realizes he can even copy the very fabric of existence—planets, stars, universes, and the system itself—one question remains. If he can steal everything, then who can stop him?
