Born into the formidable Black Clan, Alexa Campfer Black was never just another heiress-she was destined to lead. With a lineage that bridges both the mortal underworld and a mystical, otherworldly kingdom, Alexa carries the weight of two powerful legacies. Her mother, Helena Campfer Black, is a princess from a realm brimming with magic, and though Alexa was raised in the world of crime and strategy, the whispers of her enchanted bloodline remain ever-present.

While she embraces the brutal pragmatism of her father's empire, the influence of her mother's heritage lingers, hinting at powers and responsibilities she has yet to fully understand.

In the bustling modern metropolis, there exists a hidden world unknown to most—vampires are not merely the terrifying creatures of legend. They live quietly in the shadows of human society, indistinguishable from ordinary people yet fundamentally different. Our protagonist, Adrian Light, is one such vampire with a unique identity. He was not born from an ancient curse but was transformed due to an accident, forever caught between the worlds of humans and vampires. Adrian possesses eternal life and extraordinary powers, but these are not gifts he desires; they are chains he cannot break. Adrian tries to find his place in modern society. By day, he is an unassuming librarian, and by night, he becomes the city's guardian, using his abilities to help those in trouble. However, concealing his identity is no easy task. He must remain constantly vigilant to avoid revealing his true nature, especially in his interactions with humans. His friendship with his neighbor, Sarah Miller, deepens over time. Sarah's warmth and kindness allow him to glimpse the light of humanity he thought he had lost, but it also plunges him into deeper conflict—he longs to connect with humans, yet fears his identity will put her in danger. At the same time, Adrian faces threats from within the vampire community. Traditional vampire clans see him as an outcast, believing his closeness to humans violates the ancient laws of their kind. They attempt to drag him back into the darkness, even resorting to violence. Adrian is forced to navigate the precarious space between humans and vampires, striving to protect the human friends he cherishes while fending off hostility from his own kind. In this novel, vampires are no longer the traditional symbols of terror but are imbued with complex humanity. Adrian's inner world is filled with contradictions and struggles: he despises his bloodthirsty instincts but cannot entirely escape them; he yearns to integrate into human society yet knows he can never truly belong. His struggle with identity runs throughout the story, prompting readers to reflect deeply on themes of "self" and "other," "humanity" and "savagery." Through Adrian's perspective, the novel explores universal themes such as loneliness, belonging, and identity in modern society. His story is not just a fantastical adventure about vampires but also a mirror reflecting the confusion and longing within every individual. Adrian's journey is fraught with danger and challenges, but it is also filled with hope and the possibility of redemption. Can he find balance between the worlds of humans and vampires? Can he truly accept himself and discover the meaning of his existence? The answers to these questions will gradually unfold as the story progresses. With its unique perspective, profound emotional depth, and gripping plot, this novel is sure to captivate readers. It is not merely a fantasy about vampires but a profound exploration of humanity, identity, and belonging. Whether you are a fan of fantasy literature or a reader intrigued by themes of human nature, this novel will transport you into a world of contradictions and tensions, inviting you to think and empathize as you read.

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 ___________________ Uche was a school dropout, living an impoverished life in a southeastern part of Nigeria when the world tree appeared. It happened on January 1st, 2020; with a titan-sized tree that easily towered over the clouds and touched the heavens The tree could be seen from all corners of the earth as if it were a stone's throw away, but strangely, they could never reach it no matter how far and fast they traveled. It existed but wasn't present. An American MMA fighter, Dillan Cage was the first to find a way into the world tree and he returned a different man with unique abilities that shattered the Internet. However, with the appearance of the world tree came the Gates, a passageway to a realm filled with monsters humans thought could only be seen in fantasy books. Five years later, Dillan Cage went on to become the director of the Global Bureau of Hunters and was named the strongest man alive. This was the kind of success Uche hoped to replicate in Africa when he stepped into the world tree. After barely surviving the trial with a 10-star rating, he was sent to the land of his ancestors, where he met an ancestral deity. {Welcome Champion, the man destined to live and die for his people.} "Die? I want to live ooh." {The land of your ancestors is threatened, and only through your sacrifice can they be saved!} "Please ooh, I just want to make money. I didn't come to sacrifice anything for anyone" {Silence! It has been decided in the heavens so the earth must follow. Disobey the gods and suffer for eternity in the evil forest!} PS: In Igbo culture, the evil forest is the equivalent of Christianity's hell. People sent to the evil forest can't reincarnate.

However, despite being naive about her past, memories keep flashing in her head incase someone provokes her to madness. Harming people would not be enough but it would definitely send them to death! Despite her situation, Wu Xiuxin wanted to go back to school, hoping that it could help her bring back the memories that she lost a year ago. On the other hand, Madam Lu, who took accountability to her, asked for her help in exchange for her benevolence. And that is to look after her son who will become the heir of their company. Later found out that he was involved in any illegal actions that have brought him harm. There were news reports circulating that rich people were the targets of an organization. They roamed around, capturing them to demand ransom or they might end up lifeless. Although Madam Lu had the power to keep him away from danger, it wouldn’t be enough. She believed that Wu Xiuxin could be his hope. By letting Wu Xiuxin befriend him, she hoped to persuade him and make amends with his mother.

Despite being a troublemaker and having terrible behaviour, Xiu Yan was still able to convince and be loved foolishly by many students on campus. An unfazed and gloomy girl named Wu Xiuxin walked across the hallway without noticing the people gathering around. Her natural eyes were sharp as if it had an intent of causing harm to people that made Xu Yuan feel uncomfortable. Xu Yuan didn’t hesitate to use his foot to block her way, which caused her to fall and made an entire student in the hallway burst in laughter. Wu Xiuxin couldn’t fathom why he did humiliate her. One person lent his hand towards her but she didn’t take it. Instead, she stood with no expression at all and with full strength she raised her clenched fist and directly threw a huge blow on Xiu Yuan’s face. The students who gathered clearly saw the ridiculous scene unfold before their eyes. “Miss Wu, you will be sent to Class 12!” said the principal, after the trouble she did. Xiu Yuan and Wu Xiuxin have finally crossed paths once again. But why does she suspiciously want to be part of his group of friends after what she did? Miss Wu, aren't you straight? ‘Cause you look cool, and the way you move and dress isn’t like what a typical girl would," one of Xiu Yuan’s friends remarked. “Is that so? Thank you but I’m straight.” Wu Xiuxin replied. “Miss Wu, do you uhm…” “What?” “D—Do you like girls?” “It’s up to you to think.” "Miss Wu, you can have friends from the other class, but why do you want to be part of a group of boys?" “Because it’s more fun together with boys.” "Miss Wu, I don't think we need to include you in the boys' group. Before you can be part of us, you still have to pass our initiation." “Really, what is it and when?” "We torture people, and only those who survive our bloody initiation will pass." "Sounds great," she replied, her face showing no expression at all. They all looked at each other, dumbfounded by her response. Wu Xiuxin had simply agreed, knowing it was all part of her plan. (I do not own this cover photo. If you are the owner, please let me know so I can take it down.)
