About this audiobook
DO NOT READ THIS BOOK AFTER MIDNIGHT
A Field Guide to What Finds Us in Darkness
You’ve felt it—the shadow that lingered, the voice that spoke your name, the certainty that something was standing just behind you in the dark. You told yourself it was nothing.
This book is for everyone who knew it wasn’t.
Across cultures and centuries, people have reported encounters with presences that defy explanation. The details differ. The experience does not.
Do Not Read This Book After Midnight documents fifteen recurring encounter types, combining firsthand accounts, interpretations from science, psychology, folklore, and faith, and what remains unexplained.
This is not a ghost story collection or a debunking.
It is a map of the territory.
The book begins in darkness and ends in light—not to comfort, but to tell the truth: some presences want something from us. Others want something for us.
Read it in daylight if you want.
The night will come anyway.
And now you’ll know what’s waiting.
