A psychological horror novel about isolation, obsession, and the ghosts of the people we fail. Aziz retreats to a remote cabin in Vermont, hoping to quiet the chaos in his mind—but something else is waiting. Something ancient. Something watching. Haunted by Violet, the woman he loved but couldn’t hold onto, and by guilt over Abbie, the young girl he tried to save, Aziz begins writing, desperate for clarity in the wreckage of his past. But as the isolation deepens, so does the fear. An otherworldly entity known as the Whiteshade begins to stalk him, dragging him into a waking nightmare where memory blurs, reality fractures, and his mind becomes a battleground. Even the voice of his grandfather—once the one thing that steadied him—feels like just another whisper in the dark. As visions of Violet and Abbie invade his solitude, Aziz must confront a terrifying Is the creature real—or the shape of his own unraveling? For fans of The Shining, The Babadook, and House of Leaves, Janaza is a chilling descent into madness, grief, and the horrors we carry when love and guilt won’t let us go.
