The Rake: Terrifying Urban Legends (Book 2)

By: Silas Toombs

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Some things wait until the lights go out.

He came to the cabin to escape his past.
But in the silence of the forest, something was already waiting for him.

They call it The Rake—a pale, crawling figure whispered about in late-night forums and creepypasta chains. A legend born on the internet, dismissed as a hoax… until the scratching begins at your window. Until you hear your own voice begging to be let inside. Until you wake and see it crouched at the foot of your bed, watching.

For Elliot Marsh, the nightmare is only just beginning. Trapped in an isolated cabin with no phone signal, he must survive the long nights as the creature grows bolder, breaking down the barrier between dreams and reality. But when dawn finally comes, Elliot will discover that the worst horror is not outside the cabin—it’s already inside.

The Rake is the second standalone novella in Terrifying Urban Legends, a chilling series of folklore and internet-born horrors reimagined by Silas Toombs. Perfect for fans of:

• Creepypasta and internet horror legends
• Scary short horror novels in the style of The Ritual and Creepy Stories to Tell in the Dark
• Fast-paced survival horror that leaves you questioning what’s real

Lock the doors. Don’t trust your own reflection. The Rake is watching.
