Written in the shadows by ziana scc synopsis:

I used to love reading romances, but as I grew older, they began to darken with me. The sweetness turned strange—the tenderness laced with something feral. I remember dissecting Anna Biller’s Bluebeard’s Castle in fascination. He was no good man, I knew that. Yet even as a child watching Beauty and the Beast, I thought how lucky Belle was to be chosen by the monster. To be seen by something dangerous, and still be loved.

Maybe that’s why I once thought darkness could be beautiful. But lately, it’s turned on me. For months now, letters have been arriving—no return address, just my name written in a hand too intimate to belong to a stranger. They describe the smallest details: what I wore that day, what I ordered for coffee, how I smiled when I thought no one was watching.

I can’t go anywhere without feeling him. The air tightens around me when I walk through crowds; shadows stretch too long, like they’re reaching for me. He’s everywhere, and nowhere. Watching. Waiting. Knowing me far too well.

Sometimes, when the fear is too much to bear, I imagine something worse finding him—a true monster, ancient and merciless, tearing him from the corners of my life. I imagine those claws around him… and then around me. Keeping me. Shielding me. Possessing me.

And I shouldn’t want it—but I do. I crave the thought of that darker thing wrapping itself around my terror until it becomes something else. Something like safety. Something like love.
