Static Between the Trees

• A man drifts in a viscous dreamscape beneath a world that moved on without him. As memory, time, and regret solidify around him, he's left to confront the stillness he spent a lifetime becoming.
• When Lucy gets sick, her best friend abandons her. As she watches her move on without her, a voice beneath the bed offers comfort if Lucy promises to let it out.
• During a midwinter road trip to her brother's college, a girl recalls laughter, snow-covered hills, and the stillness that followed. On a quiet stretch of highway, something waits beneath the frost.

Some stories haunt because they're true. Not in the details, but in the feelings we carry and the silences we live with.

Static Between the Trees is a collection of quiet horror stories exploring grief, memory, and the strange beauty of decay. About memories that echo, slip, and shift in the corners of our minds. About grief, not as a monster in the dark, but as a quiet presence we carry.

Beneath the surface, familiar truths echo:

• The quiet ache of lost friendships
• The fading wonder of childhood
• The weight of unspoken goodbyes
• The eerie slipperiness of memory itself

For readers drawn to the atmospheric dread of David Lynch, the literary unease of Mariana Enr­quez, or the quiet hauntings of Shirley Jackson, this collection is for those who find fear not in what jumps out, but in what slips away.

Rooted in the emotional terrain of loss, dementia, and fractured memory, these fifteen tales unravel the spaces between reality and unreality.
