Dark Tales of Wonder

A Jinn with a biscuit addiction.

A cursed mirror that should’ve stayed covered.

Strange whispers from the forests of Hunza.

A friendship no one saw coming.

Forbidden love, rage, revenge and a dash of whimsy.

These aren’t just stories; they’re real events… sort of.

Inspired by truths, twisted beyond recognition (like deadly candy) until only a glimpse remains; reshaped into something darker, stranger, and far more delicious.

Rooted in Pakistani myths and folklore, this anthology peels back the veil on the supernatural.

Some stories will haunt you. Some might make you laugh. And some? You just might fall in love with.

Twilight in Darkness

To conceive the horror of my sensations is, I presume, utterly impossible; yet a curiosity to penetrate the mysteries of these awful regions predominates even over my despair, and will reconcile me to the most hideous aspect of death.
