The Human Unknown” is a collection of five quiet horror stories written by Class 10 student Prayan Pratap Mall. These are not jump‑scare or gore‑filled tales. Instead, they explore the kind of fear that hides in everyday places and refuses to leave your mind once you notice it.

An elevator that does not want to stop.
A classroom where questions never find answers.
A voicemail from someone who should not be able to call.
A place where lost things come back changed.

Each story is short enough to read in one sitting, but they are meant to stay with you much longer. If you enjoy psychological, unsettling horror set in familiar locations like apartments, schools, and phone screens, this book is for you.
