Listen close now. No closer than that... That's a little too close-there, that's better.

Welcome, brave reader, to Whispers for Bedtime, a cozy little dive into all the wrong corners of reality. Inside, you'll find soft rhymes, strange creatures, and comforting horrors from just beyond the Veil-the thin, quivering skin between our world and the Fracture.

Here, the Seven creep and skitter. The Whisperer murmurs secrets no mind should carry. The Watcher watches. Always. The Shattered pull at your thoughts until they unravel like old yarn. And far below, deeper than dreams dare go, lies the Sleeper. Not dead. Not alive. Just waiting. (But not for you. Probably.) It's all in good fun, of course. Until the eyes blink open.

But Whispers for Bedtime isn't just shadows and tentacles and creepy-crawly giggles-it's also about surviving what lives inside our own heads. You see, the real monsters aren't always cosmic. Sometimes, they look a lot like guilt. Or grief. Or silence. That's why this book is also dedicated to those who fight battles no one else can see.

To the men who wake up each day under the weight of invisible things. To the boys who were told to "be strong" but never shown how. To the fathers, brothers, sons, and strangers who carry scars behind their smiles. And to the women who stand beside them, who help them hold the line.

This one's for you. For surviving when you didn't think you could. For whispering back.

Now pull up the covers. Let the stories begin. And remember: It's okay to be scared. It just means you're still here, and that you're loved. Keep the fire going.

*AI-assisted images were edited and used for this novel. Once I can pay an artist to redo them, I will promptly do so. Unfortunately my time is limited between working and writing. I will do my best to get this done ASAP. Thank you for your understanding.
