Trapped in the Shadows (Playhouse of Horrors #1)
Georgia Wells, Cora Masters

Here, in this grotesque theater of despair, I am forced to confront my deepest fears and traumas. The Puppet Master's twisted games are a perverse reflection of my childhood nightmares, pushing me to the brink of sanity. The only escape is through participation in these cruel games, a path that demands an unthinkable descent into the abyss of my own soul.
I am offered a chance for revenge, a way to confront the demons of my past, but this opportunity comes at a harrowing cost. The tasks set before me by the Puppet Master stir a revulsion deep within, challenging the very essence of my morality and humanity. Each decision, each action, takes me further down a path of moral ambiguity, blurring the lines between justice and vengeance, right and wrong.
As I navigate this labyrinth of terror, I grapple with the horror of what I am asked to do, the potential to become the very monster I seek to destroy. In this game of retribution and survival, the ultimate question looms: Will my quest for vengeance lead to liberation, or will it consume me, leaving me lost in the darkness of my own making? The Puppet Master's Playhouse is not just a test of physical endurance, but a crucible for the soul, where the cost of revenge may be more terrifying than the horrors of the past.
