Quiet Unease: A collection of short stories

By Linda Joyce

Nothing in these stories screams.
Nothing chases.
Nothing leaps from the dark.

Instead, unease arrives quietly, through routines that no longer feel like your own, shadows that linger a moment too long, and days that repeat with impossible precision.

Set among small towns, factory shifts, grocery aisles, and quiet living rooms, Quiet Unease explores the thin line between the ordinary and the uncanny. Each story reveals how easily a life can tilt, how subtly the world can change, and how dread often whispers long before it ever raises its voice.

For readers drawn to psychological horror, slow-burn tension, and the unsettling strangeness of everyday life, this collection does not demand attention. It waits.
