The Dark Stain

The Dark Stain is part of an author’s collection of uncanny tales shaped by the lingering hush of old urban legends, those stubborn echoes that have followed us through generations. It is a reimagining of familiar motifs, brought into a new rhythm, infused with an adult kind of fear, layered with allusions and a quietly unsettling fantastical undertone. What if the ill-omened houses of old stories truly exist? And what if the strange stains on their walls are not folklore at all, but fractures in the very structure of the world – enigmatic, uncharted scars on the fabric of reality? This story is about fear and choice. About the darkness that doesn’t live somewhere far away, but right beside us. And how, one day, it may come… for you.
