Near Enough to Kill Me: Ten True Supernatural Encounters

Ten stories. One thin line between what happened, and what followed you home.

Near Enough to Kill Me is a chilling collection of first-person supernatural encounters that feel too real to dismiss, but just strange enough to doubt. Told with confessional honesty and raw psychological detail, each tale slips quietly from reality into something far darker.

From haunted motel rooms and vanishing children to phone calls from the dead and the thing that waits beneath your bed, these “true-ish” stories draw from urban legends, addiction recovery, liminal horror, and the quiet dread of being believed too late.

You’ll meet:

• A construction worker stalked by a breathing sinkhole

• A recovering addict haunted by something wearing his skin

• A camper who locked eyes with a predator pretending to be human

• A voice on a voicemail that knows what you’ve forgotten

G.J. Fene blends atmospheric dread with eerie authenticity in this short story anthology for fans of Creepypasta, The Magnus Archives, and The Haunting of Hill House. If you've ever felt watched, followed, or almost taken, this book is already too late.

I suspect it was written by AI and not just read by it

If a human wrote this...uh. Ok, author, Earth. Earth, author. Please acquaint yourself with things like cars and smoke alarms. Also stop saying "breathe" every third word.

I made it through three hours of this, only because I was busy working on something and didn't want to stop, clean up, and find something else to listen to. I hated it but not enough to bother with, which is worse than just hating it.
