“Great short story, brought the eerie feeling of what is really in the dark? Left you to think the next time you see darkness, what’s in it. If you dare turn out the lights and listen…”
– Goodreads Review
Can you hear it? The dark?

Alone in his Luton flat, Murat ‘Mat’ Yildiz finds his living room light has blown, and he is unable to go in. There is a distinctive sound in the darkness that he has wanted to hear since childhood – but growing up in the Jubilee council estate, Pagham-on-Sea, has left him with some gnarly memories of what lurks in the estate’s dark corners. Murat relives a memory from 1998, but what did he really see in the darkness that night, and is it time for him to face his fear?
