Inside the Author's Mind
Shyam Babu
You’re here. In other words, you are curious.
Perhaps you prefer creepy stories that sneak up quietly, starting slow, then twisting unexpectedly. The stories refuse to release you and write themselves onto your skin.
The ones that stick on your skin.
You enjoy the suspense of not knowing what is next.
You’re in the right place.
I write about the fragile side of the human mind. My stories are about hidden fears and emotions that slowly turn darker.
They’re about ordinary lives that break in small ways—one wrong thought, one wrong choice. The stories begin with mystery, build into suspense, and sometimes even dip into horror.
If you like tense, emotional stories, stories with surprising twists, you’ll like my work.
