He likes him more(horror)
Jacob has always been the quiet, observant type-content with staying in the background, watching life unfold from the sidelines. But when he moves to a new town and starts attending a local university, everything begins to change. The place seems perfect at first: a fresh start, new friends, and the promise of an exciting future. Yet, there's an unsettling presence that clings to the campus, like a dark cloud that never quite leaves.
It starts with his new roommate, Chris-a charming, confident guy who quickly becomes the center of attention. People are drawn to him effortlessly. Everyone loves Chris. Everyone, except Jacob. As the days pass, Jacob grows increasingly obsessed with Chris and his ability to charm, captivate, and manipulate those around him. The jealousy that gnaws at Jacob's insides only grows stronger, until he can no longer control it.
One night, while everyone is out, Jacob stumbles upon something strange-a small, hidden shrine in the corner of their dorm room. At first, he dismisses it as some sort of weird prank, but the objects scattered around the shrine-a lock of hair, an old photograph, a small vial of blood-tell a darker story. The shrine is dedicated to something far more sinister than mere admiration. It is the worship of an entity-one that feeds on envy and desire, one that has taken root inside Chris's mind and is controlling him from the shadows.
As Jacob digs deeper, he uncovers a horrifying truth: Chris is not who he seems. He's being influenced by something malevolent, something ancient, something that has chosen him as its vessel. Jacob realizes that the entity is manipulating not just Chris, but everyone who comes into contact with him, turning their admiration into blind obsession. And the more Jacob resents Chris, the more the entity feeds on his jealousy, growing stronger with every dark thought.
Now, Jacob must battle not only his own feelings but also the very thing that has infected Chris. The line between love, obsession, and terror blurs as the entity's influence tightens around them both. In a desperate attempt to free himself, Jacob makes a terrifying decision: to confront the creature that controls Chris and sever the connection, even if it means risking everything he's ever known.
He Likes Him More is a chilling exploration of obsession, jealousy, and the dark forces that lurk behind human desires. With its eerie atmosphere, psychological horror, and twisting narrative, it asks the question: What happens when the monster you fear is the one you've created?
