SUBSTRATE
A silent path.
A forgotten village.
A truth buried in the earth beneath our feet.
After a series of strange dreams, a man returns to his childhood home — a remote settlement on the edge of a vast and ancient forest. The people who once lived there are gone. Only echoes remain.
As he follows a winding trail deeper into the mist, he discovers unsettling signs of a presence watching him… and the haunting realization that the land itself remembers him.
“Substrate” is a dark, atmospheric psychological novella about memory, decay, and the invisible forces that anchor us to places we once called home.
Perfect for fans of quiet horror, eerie landscapes, and slow-burn dread.
