About this listen

Fear is a choice.
For some, it chooses them...


Crushed by agoraphobia and desperate to reclaim her life, Jenna agrees to an experimental retreat that claims to cure fear itself. Three days in an isolated lakeside cabin. Cutting edge augmented reality therapy. A chance to finally feel free.

Each participant arrives carrying a private terror they would do anything to erase. Spiders. Failure. The unknown. The kind of fear that hollowed them out long before they ever set foot inside the cabin.

At first, the treatment feels intense but manageable. Then the nightmares begin. The cabin starts to change. Messages appear where none should exist. Memories surface that do not belong to them.

Fear is not being healed.
It is being harvested.


As Jenna uncovers the truth behind the program, she realizes their terror serves a purpose far more disturbing than therapy. Fear cannot be destroyed. It can only be taken, stored, and given to someone else.

Fear Harvest is a chilling psychological horror novella about control, consent, and the terrifying cost of being cured.
