Twelve strangers. Twelve moments where reality fractures.
Step into the dark, and don't expect to come out the same.
In this haunting collection of psychological thrillers, Sam Johnson takes readers to the edge of fear - and then gently pushes them over. From a phone call that reveals a hidden crime, to a confessional that knows too much, to a woman who remembers a life that was never hers... each short story is a tightly wound tale of paranoia, obsession, and the secrets we keep from ourselves.
Set in ordinary places - an apartment, an elevator, a therapist's office - these stories twist familiar spaces into stages for quiet horror. What unites them isn't violence or gore, but something far more unsettling: the creeping suspicion that something's wrong, and always has been.
Perfect for fans of Black Mirror, The Twilight Zone, and sharp, unnerving fiction you can finish in one sitting.
Turn the page. The dark is waiting.

Sam Johnson writes from the edge of the map.Based on the south coast of England - where the sea air shifts moods faster than the tide - Sam crafts dark, compact stories that slip between the cracks of everyday life. His work explores the unnerving quiet between thoughts, the strange flicker at the corner of your eye, and the voices you can't quite explain when you're alone in the dark.Fascinated by the psychology of fear and the fragility of memory, Sam's stories are less about monsters and more about what happens when the familiar becomes unfamiliar. He writes in silence, often by candlelight, and believes the best ideas are found when you stop looking and simply listen.Though Voices in the Dark: 12 Short Psychological Thrillers is his debut audiobook collection, Sam has been quietly building a body of unsettling fiction - told through stories short enough to consume in a sitting, but deep enough to echo for days.He avoids social media, rarely gives interviews, and prefers his stories do the talking. But if you ever find yourself on a cold, empty train platform with the sense that someone's watching... you may already be in one of his.
