Splinters: A Story Collection
A chilling collection of eerie and disquieting tales that blur the line between the familiar and the surreal--a must-read for fans of
The Twilight Zone
and
Night Gallery
.
Within these pages, each story is a splinter of reality—fractured, shifting, and slipping just out of focus.
Here, the ordinary skews toward the uncanny, and shadows stretch to swallow the familiar.
This collection weaves together classic horror, unnervingly plausible dystopias, and chilling A.I. nightmares, alongside stranger, forgotten things dredged up from the depths of the unknown.
But be warned—somewhere in these pages, you may recognize something. A place, a face, a feeling. Something that was always there, waiting for you to notice.Some of the stories you'll encounter
Ghost - A young woman awakens, buried in the desert.
The Eclipse - What happened to the town of Wilderness Missouri?
Cicada - "They's a' bitin' hard..."
A Glimpse Unto Eden - A billionaire peels back the fabric of reality.
The Making of Polly Three-tongues - A story from the town of Devil's Backbone.
A Cold Day - A wife must leave her husband.
Threads that matter - A man with a bizarre and debilitating dependency.
And many others...
