What if horror didn't lurk in the shadows-but behind your screen?
Sixteen-year-old Rachel North is found dead in her bathtub, her phone still glowing with a cryptic video file looping endlessly: a whisper beneath static, a distorted face, a mouth stretched beyond human limits. She's the sixth teenager to die under identical circumstances. The only common thread? A mysterious video that appears out of nowhere-and refuses to be deleted.
Freelance journalist Ellie North doesn't believe in curses. But when the victim is her niece, and when she discovers a message from Rachel-"He needs another mouth"-Ellie begins to unravel a horrifying pattern that transcends technology, sanity, and reality itself.
Together with Ava, a former hacker turned digital security analyst, Ellie plunges into a descent of corrupted media files, haunted audio signatures, and a cursed app that spreads not through code, but through attention. Every click, every whisper, every loop brings the Mouth closer.
"Thirteen Mouths Screaming" is not just a horror novel-it's a viral contagion of dread, a memetic parasite hiding within the silence between sounds, the compression artifacts of video, and the spaces between your thoughts. Inspired by urban legends, analog horror, and the modern obsession with screens, this chilling techno-thriller asks: what happens when fear itself becomes sentient?
If you enjoyed The Ring, Black Mirror, or House of Leaves, you will not forget this story. Because it won't let you.
