Skinwalkers
About this ebook
They want stillness. As Mara travels through landscapes that bend, repeat, and remember, she discovers a horror that doesn’t chase its victims but patiently studies them—learning their movements, their voices, their shapes—until the moment they decide to stop. These are not monsters that leap from the dark. They are places that welcome you. Voices that sound almost right. Silence that feels like peace. And once they learn you well enough… they don’t need to follow.
Skinwalkers is a slow-burning, psychological horror novel that crawls under the skin and refuses to leave—where identity is fragile, movement is survival, and the most dangerous thing you can do is believe you’re safe. If you stop, they finish learning you.

About the author
Allen DeKeyser is an author who writes at the intersection of psychological horror, trauma, survival, and the unseen spaces people don’t like to sit with for too long.
A survivor himself, Allen understands fear not as a monster that jumps out—but as something quieter, patient, and far more dangerous. His work explores what happens when people stop moving, stop questioning, or mistake stillness for safety. Rather than relying on gore or cheap shocks, his stories burrow under the skin, lingering long after the last page is turned.
Allen’s writing is shaped by lived experience, resilience, and a lifelong awareness that the world is not always what it pretends to be. Themes of identity, endurance, and the cost of attention run through his work, asking readers not just to confront horror—but to recognize how easily it invites itself in.
When he isn’t writing, Allen continues to move forward—literally and creatively—believing that motion, curiosity, and refusing to settle are sometimes the only ways to stay human.
Skinwalkers is a reminder of one unsettling truth:
Some things don’t chase you.
They wait for you to stop.
