Stranger Man (Paperback)

Stranger Man is a dark fast-paced blend of coming-of-age anxiety pitch-black humor and creeping dread that starts on a college campus and swerves hard into survival horror. Jordan Daniels would rather disappear than walk into a crowded party. His best friend Andy Stephens would rather burn the world down than admit he is scared. When a Halloween night spirals out of control the jokes stop landing and the world gets sharp around the edges. A warning follows Jordan back to his dorm like a cold breath in the hallway: Don t do it kid. After that Jordan can t tell what s real and what s panic. Not the nightmares. Not the silence in the dark. Not the way time slips. And not the stranger who keeps appearing at the worst possible moment saying just enough to feel like a threat... or a lifeline. As the night fractures into something far more dangerous than embarrassment or rejection Jordan is forced to confront the one thing he has spent his whole life avoiding: action. Because when the people you love are on the line fear stops being a feeling and becomes a decision. A tense unsettling story of friendship spiraling anxiety and the terrifying question of who you become when there is no help coming... except for the one person who should not be there at all.
