Neural Static

By Scott Oscar

What if the real horror isn't what you see-but what you remember?

From debut author Scott Oscar comes Neural Static, a collection of six unsettling stories that dig deep into the fault lines of memory, perception, and the creeping sense that something isn't quite right. These aren't your typical ghosts. These are the echoes that follow you home, the whispers caught in broken recordings, the distortions that grow louder the more you try to ignore them.

In these chilling tales:

A grieving son is drawn into a decades-old list of haunted mirrors with deadly, shifting reflections.

A reference librarian begins seeing a girl in yellow-a girl who shouldn't exist-appearing in photos, dreams, and the stacks.

A man recovers from a car crash only to hear a strange hum revealing secrets no one should know.

A woman inherits a rural mansion where echoes repeat things no one has said-yet.

A recluse discovers a collection of unmarked cassette tapes... all of them in his own voice.

A family's peaceful cabin getaway becomes a trap they've entered many times before-and never truly escaped.

Each story in Neural Static stands alone-but together, they weave a larger pattern of paranoia, repetition, and disconnection from reality. Oscar masterfully blurs the line between the psychological and the supernatural, leaving readers questioning their memories, their reflections, and even the sounds in their walls.

If you enjoy the creeping dread of Black Mirror, the surreal unease of House of Leaves, or the emotional gravity of The Haunting of Hill House, Neural Static will haunt you long after the last page.
