The Synopsis
When you speak to the dead, sometimes… they speak back.
Whispers from Beyond is a short supernatural communication horror story. The ending will leave you reeling.
Hailey McNealson is stuck in the unforgiving town of Cinder Bay. She struggles to make it as a fashion writer, but her crass boss and gnarly secretary give her hell at every turn. Constantly abused and demeaned, and eyes always running with tears, something has to give.
Things take a terrifying turn when an antique phone falls on her lap.
Eerie whispers from beyond soothe her troubled mind. And her darkest desires slowly shape reality. Suddenly, Hailey is caught between the echoes of her past, and a horrifying present that will forever shake the foundations of Cinder Bay.
Supernatural Communication Horror Themes Explored in 'Whispers from Beyond'
Whispers from Beyond is a supernatural communication horror story that explores haunting themes of supernatural revenge, cursed technology, grief-driven desperation, and psychological breakdown. As the second installment in the Mr Stenson’s Phone series, it taps into the supernatural horror sub-genre, similar in feel to Stephen King’s 1408 or The Ring‘s cursed tape concept. The story weaves psychological horror through the unreliable mental state of the protagonist, Hailey, whose grief and humiliation ignite a deadly chain of events.
Readers drawn to stories about haunted objects, ghostly vengeance, and paranormal consequences of a wish gone wrong will find this tale compelling. Like Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House or Paul Tremblay’s The Cabin at the End of the World, this story focuses less on gore and more on the slow, chilling psychological toll of unseen evil.
