The Shy Master

By J.D. Erwynn

Ethan Bedford thought he'd hit rock bottom the night he stumbled into a dingy bar, half-drowning his regrets in bourbon. When a stranger named Sebastian slides him a card for Dr. Elijah Tatler- the so-called "Fear Doctor"-Ethan's curiosity wins out over his suspicions. What begins as a chance to confront the phantoms of his past spirals into a nightmare of manipulation, mind games, and razor-sharp dread. As Tatler's sessions peel back the layers of Ethan's trauma, he uncovers a twisted connection to a childhood horror he thought long buried. With each "breakthrough" comes a new threat: is Dr. Tatler healing him... or hunting him? In the pages that follow, you'll dart through abandoned factories, eavesdrop on sinister whispers behind locked doors, and witness the thin line between doctor and monster dissolve in a flood of blood and betrayal. "The Shy Master" is a relentless psychological thriller that will leave you questioning every smile, every reassuring word, and every shadow at the edge of your vision.
