Ep. 1 | Between Shadows and Letters: A Halloween Special.

Hello, readers! Welcome to my blog, your new space to talk about books, stories, and everything that flirts with mystery, emotion, and the darkness that hides in every soul.

I’m Eudes Bispo, creator of Eudelivros and author of the horror novel The Abyss Gazes Also Into You, first published on November 4th, 2022 (Brazil).

The story takes place in the eerie town of Bosque Fundo, where, on October 31st, the residents decide to make Halloween an official celebration for the first time.

Everyone — from children to adults — is thrilled to join the festivities. But what begins as a harmless night of fun soon turns into a macabre nightmare.

As the full moon rises, long-buried secrets return to the surface, and the line between nightmare and reality fades away. By the end of the night, the townsfolk will realize that when you stare too long into the abyss… the abyss also gazes back.

This Halloween, on October 31st, 2025, The Abyss Gazes Also Into You will be available for free, including its Spanish and English editions: 📘 El Abismo También Mira Dentro de Ti 📕 The Abyss Gazes Also Into You

And to celebrate this spooky season, I’ve prepared a list of haunting book recommendations for you to explore. Stories that will take you through fear, madness, and the beauty that only horror can reveal.

🕯️ 1. Bird Box — Josh Malerman.

A modern horror classic. In a world invaded by invisible entities that drive people insane upon sight, Malorie must survive blindfolded while protecting her children. Bird Box blends psychological horror with a mother’s desperate love, it’s chilling and emotional in equal measure.
