Sixteen stories that explore every corner of fear in an anthology where each story invites you to look squarely at that which should not exist… but does. A book by the creators of MundoCreepy, a YouTube channel with over three million followers.

 

An anthology that embraces every face of fear and blends them into a hypnotic journey through the unknown: from rural terror to cosmic horror, from ancestral legends to the darkest science fiction, passing through the supernatural, the psychological, and the apocalyptic. Sixteen independent stories share a common essence: the certainty that evil, tragedy, or the inexplicable not only exist, but are far closer than we believe. Each story opens a different door—sometimes to a past that should not be remembered, others to a future that should not be known.

The collection opens with Deshuesadero, a coming-of-age tale steeped in tragedy. In an isolated town, a boy discovers that a car graveyard is also a cemetery of trapped souls, among them his father’s, unable to forgive himself. Death and Lucifer functions as a disturbing final dialogue: when the last man dies, even eternal forces will lose their meaning.

In Alex the Pyromaniac, adolescent fascination with the paranormal collides with guilt: a young man ignores his friend’s cry for help in a ruined orphanage, believing he hears a ghost, only to later discover that he left his friend to die. The Whistle rewrites the myth of a local demon, revealed to be prey hunted for generations by a man who exposes the legend as a trap designed to lure victims.

Psychological horror reaches its most twisted point in The Light of the Fireflies, set in a psychiatric asylum where a patient believes he has found a friend—only to discover it is an illusion designed to destroy his mind and steal his inheritance. Darkness in Space plunges into absolute loneliness: a captain awakens to find his ship stranded for thousands of years in an ever-darkening universe, with no possibility of return.

Hallucinations blends horror and historical memory: a man believes he is hallucinating after losing his medication, only to discover he is actually walking through Hiroshima after the bomb. In The Watchers, a child discovers that his town is a human laboratory controlled by invisible beings, and that decades later they may have decided that all of humanity has failed.

In The Immortal, the obsession with eternal life becomes a curse: a ring protects its wearer from death, but not from pain or physical decay, condemning the protagonist to an eternity of suffering. The Signal presents a first extraterrestrial contact that culminates in a final warning: the Sun will destroy the solar system in 28 months.

Destiny is a temporal puzzle in which identical doubles separated by fifty years repeat the same tragic ending. This Is Not a Horror Story subverts its title with one of the most disturbing tales: a psychopath decides that the only way to preserve his “imaginary friend” is to kill him and keep him forever.

The game of parallel realities intensifies in A Strange Event That Occurred at a Gas Station, where a family and their young daughter seem to experience two simultaneous disappearances from different dimensions. The Stone Queen proposes a macabre pact with a statue hungry for flesh and blood in exchange for brief moments of lucidity for a sick wife.

The Forest of a Thousand Arms introduces a biotechnological horror: a tree made of human flesh and living hands, part of an experiment to eradicate death. The anthology concludes with The Silver Gauss, a maritime odyssey that ends in an unprecedented apocalypse: the momentary shutdown of gravity inverts the entire world, leaving behind a desolate planet where only a few have survived.

A work intended for readers who seek not a fleeting scare, but a deep unease that lingers—turning each story into a nightmare impossible to forget.

 

RELEVANT INFORMATION: I Am Dead and Still Screaming is a horror anthology that represents the culmination of ten years of hard work and dedication by Emmanuel Morales and Kevin García, two of the most recognized voices in the genre on YouTube through their channel MundoCreepy.

The anthology spans a vast spectrum of horror, from psychological and supernatural terror to dark science fiction and apocalypse, with forays into rural gothic, survival thriller, and urban legend, all united by dense atmospheres, unexpected twists, and endings that haunt the reader long after the book is closed. In audiovisual terms, its potential is clear as a horror property, lending itself to an anthology series with standalone episodes or to the expansion of selected stories.
