**"Everything you want to know about me-along with everything you'd rather not hear-is scattered within these stories and books. To distill it all into a neat little summary here would be a shortcut, and shortcuts rarely lead to the truth. The only thing I want you to know is the risks I've taken for you. Writing dark tales, crafting strange stories, dwelling in the realms of fantasy, suspense, and horror-it forces the mind into unusual thought patterns, compels one to question reality, and see the world through a different lens. It's much like being shoved into a crowded subway by a frenzied mob, forcing you to move, whether you're ready or not. And as a result, alongside stories, you may find fragments of monologue-driven storms of thought. This is where I, myself, and the many versions of me have come to an agreement: Some scribbles, some stories, and some books must be shared. Let those who are not me read them. Let them embark on a journey-one that is dark, unsettling, sometimes suffocating, sometimes exhilarating. To those who dare to step into these shadowed, unfamiliar worlds: I wish you luck. I will be waiting where all roads converge... in the cold."**
