TAP TAP

You hear it once.

You ignore it.

It comes back.

At first, it’s easy to explain.

A pipe. A wall. A neighbour. Something small and harmless.

But it doesn’t stop.

It returns at the same times.

In the same place.

Just out of reach.

You check once. Twice. Again.

Nothing.

Then it changes.

Not louder.

Closer.

You start to realise something you don’t want to say out loud:

This isn’t random.

And it isn’t going away.

Tap Tap is a 75-page horror story built on tension, repetition, and the slow collapse of “it’s probably nothing.”

No gore.

No jump scares.

Just the creeping certainty that something is wrong—and getting closer.

You’ll finish it in one sitting.

It won’t leave you that quickly.

Perfect if you like:

• quiet, psychological horror
• slow-burn tension
• stories that linger after the last page

Part of the Short & Brutal series from House of Sharky Press.

Standalone horror stories. One idea. Taken just far enough.
