About C.B.T. Whitmore

C.B.T. Whitmore explores the shadowed boundaries between the living and the dead, creating psychological horror and supernatural suspense rooted in fear, memory, grief, and the unknown. Whitmore’s stories often begin in familiar places—a quiet bedroom, an old family home, a half-remembered dream—before descending into worlds where reality becomes uncertain and the past refuses to remain buried.

Drawing inspiration from medical knowledge, sleep phenomena, and ancestral folklore, Whitmore crafts unsettling narratives that blur the line between nightmare and waking life. Recurring themes include sleep paralysis, inherited trauma, hidden family histories, and the possibility that some supernatural encounters are not imagined but remembered. This combination of psychological tension and otherworldly paranormal dread gives Whitmore’s work an atmosphere in which even the safest moments can conceal something sinister.

Whitmore is especially fascinated by the mysteries of the sleeping mind: vivid dreams, altered states of consciousness, lucid dreaming, and the terrifying moments when the body is asleep but the mind remains awake. That fascination lies at the heart of 3:33: The Devil’s Hour, a story that transforms an ordinary time on the clock into a warning—and a doorway.

When not writing, Whitmore continues to study unexplained sleep experiences, family legends, and the strange events said to occur at 3:33 a.m.—the hour when the boundary between worlds may be at its thinnest.
