Screams For Him

By: Jade McGuirt

The night smelled like cider and smoke. Sweet enough to trick you, sharp enough to warn you.

Every October, the town’s festival lights up with laughter, bonfires, and fear sold by the ticket.
But this year, something in the dark is watching her.

Jennifer has always been the quiet one the background in her friends’ stories, the girl who blends into candlelight and cider steam. Until the night of the festival, when a cracked porcelain mask turns toward her and everything changes.

He doesn’t lunge from the shadows.
He doesn’t play along.
He only watches.

And when she screams, he listens.

Each night after, he leaves her something new: a sunflower, a note, a whisper in the dark that feels less like danger and more like recognition.
Everyone tells her to run.
But how do you run from the only thing that’s ever made you feel seen?

Because the truth is she isn’t sure she wants to escape him.

And when the mask finally falls, she’ll have to decide whether the monster haunting her nights is the one she fears…
or the one she’s been waiting for all along.

An October dark, romantic obsession for fans of haunting small towns, dangerous devotion, and the kind of love story that feels like a ghost story.
