Polite Monsters: Short Psychological Thrillers

The Polite Monsters Series are short psychological thrillers rooted in human behavior, quiet control, and the damage people justify. These stories explore the unsettling truth that the most dangerous individuals are often the easiest to overlook.

They aren’t just horror fans. They’re worshipping a man they hope is a real psychopath.

But The Moderator isn’t just another creator with a seductive voice and a shadowed face.

His followers don’t just want to be scared.
They want to be chosen.
And he is listening.

Online, everyone thinks they’re safe behind a screen. Until the man on the other side of it comes looking for them.

n a quiet cul-de-sac with perfect lawns and matching mailboxes, Marjorie Ellington is the kind of neighbor everyone thinks they want.

She bakes. She waves. She walks the block three times a day “for exercise.” She also happens to be the HOA president and the only person, in her opinion, who still cares about community standards.

Overflowing trash cans. Screaming children. Oil-stained driveways. Dogs that use her lawn as a toilet. Marjorie sees it all, writes it all down, and makes sure every act of disrespect is answered with a correction. Some are petty. Some are vicious. And one of them is final.
