I've got a small question for anybody who can give me some advice. I'm working on a story and I'm about halfway through. The protagonists and his friends are being stalked by an unknown entity and I have hit a crisis.

I don't know whether I should reveal this terrifying force or not. I mean, I don't want to do it at all.

I think my story is building some good tension, but I think a reveal would diminish that fear of the unknown. Of course, I could only unveil this entity to the reader, but in the same light I'd like to leave them in the dark as well.

I just need some advice on whether I should go down this road or not. I don't really know how I can keep building tension and fear without revealing the entity but I'd really like to do so. Any advice on how I should progress would be great.
