The Sandman’s Mark
About
Night after night, Chloe wakes choking on dust and dread. The whispers call him the Sandman—an ancient presence that stalks her dreams and leaves its mark in the waking world.
But home offers no refuge. Sandra, her distant mother, refuses to believe. Gilbert, her father, hides a menace of his own. Alone and terrified, Chloe must confront a horror that seeps through walls, bedsheets, and into her very soul.
As dreams and reality blur, Chloe learns the Sandman doesn’t just haunt the night—he claims what he touches. And he has chosen her.

Leaving an Indelible Mark
‘The Sandman’s Mark,’ a supernatural thriller by Iwan Ross, leaves an indelible mark on the reader. Like the sandman who stalks dreams, lurks in the shadows, and leaves a telltale stench of decay in his wake, the author’s formidable flair for writing breathes life on every page. His vivid descriptions, ethereal or visceral, allow the reader to probe the depths of Chloe’s soul, and see her parents, Gilbert and Sandra, as they really are. Little by little, everything falls into place. Each revelation, its own mindbender.
Shrouded in mystery and the supernatural—Chloe died three times—the surreal story, awash in pathos, is unpredictably shocking and tantalizing. I highly recommend ‘The Sandman’s Mark,' a well-crafted and imaginative story oozing life and death.

I just finished Iwan Ross's '𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘮𝘢𝘯'𝘴 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬,' and I'm still reeling. The atmosphere he creates is palpable; I could practically feel the dust in my own throat, the chilling presence in Chloe's every panicked breath. The slow burn of dread, the way the lines between dream and reality warp, is masterfully executed. Ross doesn't just tell you a story; he pulls you down into the darkness with Chloe.
The supporting characters, Sandra and Gilbert, aren't just props; they're vital, complex cogs in this 𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗳𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲. Their secrets and motivations keep you guessing, adding another layer of unsettling tension. This isn't your typical monster-in-the-closet tale. It's a 𝗽𝘀𝘆𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 descent, a gut-wrenching exploration of fear, family secrets, and the terrifying power of the unknown. Prepare to be haunted long after you turn the final page.
