My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A Dark, Relentless Piece of Supernatural Horror...

Noah Janzen’s life starts to split at the edges the moment his nights stop behaving like nights. They blur into something he can’t quite name—something perched on that thin, breathless line between a sleep disorder and… whatever waits past that line. Shapes flicker in the corners of his vision, shadows that shouldn’t move but somehow do. And every episode leaves a deeper mark, fear settling into him like a weight he can’t shake. You feel it too—that sharp, buzzing dread that curls up in your chest and refuses to be reasoned with.

When Noah finally turns to a sleep specialist—strange, brilliant, and not at all what he expected—the whole story tilts into territory that’s unsettling in the most believable way. The kind of mystery that makes you glance at the dark corners of your room before turning off the light. Every answer they uncover just makes the ground a little less steady, pulling you closer to Noah’s unraveling until you’re breathing in rhythm with his panic.

The Dark Menace is the sort of book you crack open way too late at night and instantly regret—but only because you’ll lie awake afterward, staring into the dark, wondering why it suddenly feels different. Even when you close the back cover, it doesn’t really let go. It lingers. It leaves fingerprints. Highly recommended.
