Inside Out Fear X Joy

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.

WSA 2025 ENTRY #WSA2025 ...................................................................... Broken and shattered into a million pieces, Stark found all the memories of his past self forgotten, gone, swallowed by the Abyss. He opened his eyes to a world draped in shadows, where whispers wove through the air like unseen phantoms, and sorcery pulsed beneath the surface. Esoterica and Grimoire. Palimpsest and forbidden knowledge. With each step forward, he sought the truth of his existence—who he was, who he had been. But should he have knocked on the locked doors of Resonance… or surrendered himself to the quiet embrace of forgetfulness? ...................................................... Hey everyone! This is my first novel, so I’m still learning as I go. You might notice some inconsistencies, grammatical mistakes, or pacing issues in the early chapters, but I promise I’ll improve as I write more.

In a world where the past never truly stays buried, Joy Davidson finds himself at the center of a mystery far greater than he ever imagined. What begins as a simple love story soon spirals into an intense battle for survival, scientific discovery, and the fight against a powerful force determined to control the future. Book 1: Joy Davidson – Into the Jungle Joy Davidson had everything—a promising career, the love of his life, and a secret he barely understood. On the night he planned to propose to Tia Carter, everything changed. One moment, he was in a candlelit restaurant; the next, he woke up in the depths of the Congo Basin, alone and hunted. Struggling to survive in an endless jungle with no memory of how he got there, Joy encounters deadly predators, an abandoned hut with a terrifying past, and a mysterious leopard he names Leo. As he forms an unlikely bond with the beast, he begins to piece together a chilling truth—his presence in the jungle is no accident. Someone sent him here, and they don’t plan on letting him leave. Meanwhile, back home, his daughter, Tina Davidson, finds a hidden diary, a cryptic map, and a strange stone linked to an ancient secret. As she and her cousin Roy dig deeper into Joy’s disappearance, they realize that his vanishing is connected to something far bigger than they ever imagined. But the jungle holds its own secrets, and as Joy fights for his life, he must uncover the truth before it’s too late. Because the forces hunting him are closer than he thinks—and they want him silenced. Book 2: Joy Davidson – The Project Months after Joy Davidson’s mysterious return, his past refuses to let go. A name haunts his nightmares—Victor Esono, a powerful figure lurking in the shadows. When Tina and Roy uncover more of Joy’s research, they realize he was working on something dangerous—Project Vitalix-X, a genetic experiment with the power to alter human DNA. But Joy was never a willing participant. Forced by Victor Esono, a ruthless billionaire with a dying son, Joy was pushed to create a cure—one that could either save a life or destroy countless others. And when he tried to escape, he paid the price. As Tina and Roy chase the truth, Joy is pulled back into a world of deception, blackmail, and scientific horrors. And when he’s abducted once more, he awakens in a place he knows all too well—the jungle. This time, he remembers everything. The virus inside him, the experiments on the animals, and the truth about Leo. With time running out, Joy must rally the jungle’s survivors—including Leo and the victims of the experiment—to take the fight back to those who wronged them. Because Project Vitalix-X isn’t just about control. It’s about reshaping the world. And if Victor Esono succeeds, there will be no escape for anyone. Book 3: Joy Davidson – The Legacy The war isn’t over. With Joy missing once again and the jungle’s secrets spilling into the world, Tina and Roy must finish what he started. A single name holds the key—Henry Banner, the scientist who disappeared decades ago, leaving behind clues in the diary Joy left behind. As they uncover the final pieces of the puzzle, they realize the truth: Project Vitalix-X wasn’t just about a cure. It was about evolution. The virus isn’t just inside Joy—it’s inside Tina, Roy, and countless others. It’s changing them, and soon, the world will never be the same. With Victor Esono tightening his grip on power, the final battle begins. Tina must embrace her father’s legacy, Joy must face the monster he helped create, and Leo must lead the jungle’s warriors into a fight that will determine the fate of humanity itself. Because some secrets should remain buried. But when they surface, they rewrite history. And in the end, the jungle never forgets.

['Good people die young.' That was an irrefutable fact. In her life, all she did was give everything she has to the people around her. Living in a world where man-eating creatures exist, she was more blessed than anyone, or is she? She shares all the things she possesses with the people she deemed as 'comrades.' She became selfless and ignores her desires because maybe, even if they live in a scary world, they could have joy in it even just a little bit. But she was soon proved wrong. Her 'comrades' left her to be eaten to save themselves. She thought that it was fine. But the 'monsters' she expects to eat her were more of 'devils' in the humans' clothing.
