Hidden Impulses: A Psychological Thriller About Trauma, Obsession, and the Monsters We Learn to Become

By SS Rosa

Some monsters are born.

Others are carefully restored.

Deep beneath the city, librarian Cora Thalassa spends her nights preserving rare manuscripts in an archive where silence has its own weight. Hidden behind white gloves and a carefully constructed identity, she believes the past has finally stopped hunting her.

She is wrong.

When renowned art restorer Jude Ravn enters the archive searching for ancient texts about death, something impossible happens. He recognizes something inside Cora that no one else has ever seen. Beneath layers of trauma, lies, and forgotten history, two damaged souls begin orbiting each other with terrifying inevitability.

As Detective Sidney Vance investigates a series of meticulously executed murders connected by impossible precision, decades-old crimes begin resurfacing. Every secret uncovered reveals another hidden beneath it, until the line between victim and predator disappears completely.

Dark, atmospheric and emotionally devastating, Hidden Impulses is a psychological thriller filled with obsession, moral ambiguity, buried trauma and shocking twists that redefine every character.
