The Hat Man: Terrifying Urban Legends (Book 8)

He waits at the edge of your vision. The more you see him, the closer he gets.

When psychologist Dr. Amelia Kerr begins studying sleep paralysis, she expects strange stories. What she doesn’t expect is how many of her patients describe the same figure: A tall man in a wide-brimmed hat. Standing in the doorway. Watching.

At first, Amelia dismisses it as a shared hallucination. But when she starts seeing him herself—in dreams, in mirrors, even in broad daylight—denial is no longer an option.

The Hat Man is real. And he is hungry.

From the shadow of your room to the corners of your mind, he feeds on your fear. And once you speak his name, once you admit he exists, there’s no turning back.
