You Shouldn't Have Answered: (Pre-Order)

When brothers Jace and Theo throw an unplanned Halloween rager while their parents are away, the worst they expect is a trashed living room or a noise complaint.

Then someone suggests a stupid game:
random phone calls. Say something creepy. Hang up. Laugh.

Harmless… until one number answers.

The man on the other end doesn’t yell.
He doesn’t hang up.
He just whispers: “I’ve been waiting.”

What starts as a joke becomes a nightmare.
Each time they hang up, someone disappears.
A friend. A girlfriend.
A body left behind—staged like a message.

Their once-fun house party turns into a cage as the caller draws closer with every ring, playing a private game of cat and mouse only he knows the rules to.

No one is leaving.
Not until he gets what he wants.

And all he wants… is an apology.

They shouldn’t have called.
They shouldn’t have answered.

Now they’ll pay for both.

Because on Halloween, some people don’t need an invitation.

And you shouldn’t have answered.
