Solitude by Shubham Jain is a haunting, poetic, and deeply unsettling exploration of loneliness and the monsters it breeds — both real and imagined. This isn’t horror that jumps out and scares you; it’s the kind that slowly seeps under your skin, tightening its grip page by page until you realize you’ve been holding your breath.
Through four stories — Sudha, Asad, Avantika, and Rohan — Jain paints a chilling portrait of isolation and human fragility. Each tale feels like a quiet descent into madness, where ordinary people confront the eerie consequences of their own desires and regrets. What connects them all is not blood or fate, but an aching solitude that distorts reality itself.
Sudha’s story, with its mix of yearning and dread, perfectly sets the tone — a horror born from emotional emptiness. Asad’s tale of obsession is beautifully tragic, blurring the line between love and possession.
