Coming October 15, 2026
Eight centuries. Eight places. Eight stories.
Across different times and far-flung places, something has been waiting.
A whisper in the woods.
A shadow where no one should be.
A door that should never open.
A presence that refuses to stay buried.
For centuries, people have encountered things they couldn't explain—strange occurrences that appeared to have no connection to one another.
Or so they thought.
WHEN THE CENTURY KNOCKS brings together eight chilling tales from Kirsten Gale, J.D. Setzer, Tamara Rector, Jim Donohue, Kendra Smart, Abby Woodland, Hayley Bernard-Ryan, and J.K. Charles, each exploring a different century, a different place, and a different nightmare.
What will come from the trees when the century knocks?
Why is it happening?
And what has been waiting all this time?
