Hallway

Nothing is safe behind the locked doors of their apartment, where paranoia, strange visions, and a terrifying presence threaten to consume them all.

In their cramped, rundown apartment, Tim, Jess, and their unpredictable cat Harvey are barely hanging on-struggling with money, bad neighbors, and a building with more locked doors than answers. When Tim's only friend vanishes under strange circumstances, the shadows in the hallway seem to deepen, and Harvey's obsession with a mysterious "nowhere door" turns dangerously intense.

Every night brings whispers, anonymous knocks, and the creak of hinges where no one's supposed to be. Jess-overworked, fiercely protective, and running on fumes-worries the apartment is doing more than wearing them down. Tim tries to hold it together, all while battling haunting visions, cryptic dreams, and his own unreliable mind.

But something is watching from the hallway. Something hungry, maybe even hopeful for their collapse.

Is it just the paranoia of poverty and medication-or is the real horror waiting in a place no tenant dare enter?

Step into Hallway, a claustrophobic tale of urban dread where reality warps and every closed door hides a new nightmare. Perfect for fans of slow-burn suspense, psychological horror, and the movie Barbarian, this novel turns the mundane into the monstrous and never lets you escape the echo of footsteps just beyond your sight.
