Shadows of Rubidoux

By Albert Allen III

Shadows of Rubidoux by Albert Allen III is a chilling horror story that blends psychological dread with supernatural terror, set against the real-world backdrop of Mount Rubidoux. Marcus, Elena, and Trey arrive at the mountain just before sunset, armed with cameras and skepticism, determined to capture proof of the rumored "Shadow People." Ignoring warnings from locals to leave before midnight, they begin their ascent as a simple documentary experiment. But as night falls, subtle disturbances begin to unravel their sense of reality, mysterious rock formations that rebuild themselves, disembodied whispers, and the haunting sound of a crying baby echoing through the hills.

Their unease turns to terror when crows begin speaking in human voices, warning them to turn back or die. Soon after, shadowy figures with glowing red eyes appear just beyond sight, stalking them through the darkness. When the group attempts to leave, they find themselves trapped in a looping trail, forced deeper into the mountain's unseen design.

The horror intensifies as they encounter silent, unnatural babies perched on stones, entities that warn them to go back, even as something unseen relentlessly pursues them. Fleeing in desperation, they discover a hidden entrance leading into ancient catacombs beneath the mountain. Inside, time fractures, voices call their names, and grotesque visions of decayed infants guide them forward. Marcus begins to unravel, drawn toward something he cannot resist.
