I'm Russ, and I tell the untold tales that keep us up at night. 

I wrote my first short story when I was 14 years old, and I began writing horror, mystery-thriller, and suspense stories during the #ManilaEncounters trend in 2019, which is how I became well-known. I also create stories in different genres, including romance and science fiction.

Please bear in mind that I'm not a perfect writer, and my stories have flaws, but I believe that learning is an endless process.
