I'll never feel completely safe being home alone after I saw a shadow man for the first time.
About this Series:
This is not just a horror novel or a true life story, it's also a game. I wanted to write out my real life supernatural experiences, but I also wanted to remain anonymous, so I disguise my identity by writing two fake stories along with every real story I tell.
It's your job to figure out which story is true and which ones are fake.

Excerpt:
There are some people who attract darkness. It doesn’t mean they are dark people themselves, it’s just the hand life has dealt them. People like us feel a kinship when we first meet each other because no one else can understand what we have seen.
Many times, people like us were vulnerable in some way. I had parents who weren’t very protective of me growing up, for example, which left me exposed to certain people I otherwise wouldn’t be exposed to. A lot of us are also quite sensitive. We pick up on supernatural things that other people aren’t able to.
I never realized how truly strange my experiences were until I decided to share one of my stories on a website and it wound up being read and commented on many times.
It’s therapeutic to get these things off my chest. But I didn’t want anyone to figure out that any of it was me. I wanted to remain anonymous, because stories like these are controversial, and a pen name didn’t seem like it would be enough.
I decided to write out my stories one by one, but add two fictional stories of similar themes along with each story. That way no one could tell for sure which of these things had actually happened to me and which of these things hadn’t. Without that information, it’s difficult to trace the stories back to me.
It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not, just know that two of these stories are fake and one is real. It’s up to you to decide which is which.
Author Info
Dark Mistress Aurora has experienced creepy things her whole life, which has made her so shy she hides behind a pen name.
How would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
I write true life horror stories that you can read in one sitting. I draw from my life experiences, so writing can be very intense and therapeutic for me. I’m afraid to write about my experiences late at night or when I’m completely home alone. It can scare me just remembering them.
What are some of your writing/publishing goals for this year?
I would like to finish my true life horror story series within the next year or two. I will have ten books in total published hopefully by the end of it.
Do you feel that writing is an ingrained process or just something that flows naturally for you?
Both. I am drawn to it, but it also takes a lot of work to be good at it.
Where would you spend one full year, if you could go ANYWhere? What would you do with this time?
I think it would be a lot of fun to live in a castle for a year. It has a lot of history and might be kind of spooky, but also magical at the same time.
