The Silent Bamboo

Buried alive for stammering, young Walter Crimp survives through a hollow bamboo reed — a cruel lesson in silence that shapes everything he becomes.

 Raised in a home ruled by fear and obedience, his only comfort is a tattered stuffed rabbit and the fractured idea of love his mother twists into punishment.

 As faith and cruelty intertwine, Walter’s childhood fractures into ritual. The world teaches him that pain is attention, silence is safety, and mercy must be earned.

When the graves of his past begin to open, the boy who once whispered for air learns to make others beg for it.

The Silent Bamboo is a standalone psychological horror that traces the making of Walter Crimp — the executioner whose shadow will haunt Pentlockin. A haunting tale of control, isolation, and the terrifying power of silence
