Modern Monsters: A Trilogy of Fear

Nightmares are not fiction. They are truths that bleed through our dreams, warnings we cannot always name. Glow begins there, in the still hours of the night, where fear has no shape until it presses its weight on your chest. Sleep paralysis, shadow figures, the demon crouched at the edge of your bed. Science gives them explanations, but fear does not need proof. It only needs darkness.

But nightmares are not limited to sleep. Some of them walk our streets in daylight. Gorilla takes you there, to a city that breathes like a living beast, its alleys slick with rain and secrets. Here, the zombies are real. Alive, breathing, hollowed out people shuffling through the chaos. Addiction, poverty, violence, and hate have already given us an apocalypse, and you do not need a grave to crawl out of to be a monster.

Grace pulls no punches. Hate is the oldest contagion, and it thrives not in fantasy but in the human heart. We create monsters every day with cruelty, silence, and fear. History has always shown us that evil does not come wearing horns. It wears uniforms. It wears suits. It smiles for cameras and waves to crowds.

This trilogy is a mirror. One that reflects the nightmare world of sleep, the rotting streets we walk every day, and the darkness festering inside us all. The monsters are not coming. They are already here.
