It can happen to any one of us at any time. A crack appears in the world around us, small at first,

but it's enough for us to get a glimpse, enough for us to see that beyond all this is something

through, and once we do, there's no turning back. Because that crack inevitably begins to expand

until you're no longer looking through it, or even at it.

and the scarce few who found a way out, to hear their terrifying stories.

But I must warn you, once you climb inside, I can't promise that you won't end up counting yourself among them.

What they have to say will change you, bring near what should be kept far, far away.

Because there are things we're not meant to know.

We're not meant to know an anthology of bursting with dreadful goodies to share with you.

It's the year 2026, which sounds even more futuristic than 2025.

Still no flying car, though.

But at least we finally have that long-awaited artificial intelligence threat to contend

with. So swings and roundabouts, as they say. Speaking of artificial intelligence, our humble

narrator incorporates no AI in the production of nocturnal transmissions.
