As the woman steps cautiously down the cold, stone hallway, the soft glow of her candle flickers against the ancient walls. Just ahead, a faint creak echoes from a doorway she thought was shut tight. Her eyes widen as a shadow detaches itself from the wall—tall, unnatural, and moving without a sound. For a split second, she sees the glint of eyes staring back at her from the darkness, and a chill runs down her spine. Something is in the hallway with her—and it knows she’s alone.
