Silent Violence

By Noah Reif

A swallow. A smack. The scrape of a spoon against porcelain. Sounds that lodge themselves like splinters under the skin. While his colleagues notice nothing, Benno wages an invisible war against panic, rage, and the fear of losing control. By day, he tries to sleep. By night, he tries to function.

And somewhere in between there is Lina, the bar, a place with warm light and voices that sound bearable for a moment. But closeness only helps if you can stand yourself.

Silent Violence is an intense novel about misophonia, overwhelm, and the quiet cracks that appear when consideration becomes a breaking point. About a man who stays calm on the outside, while everything inside is collapsing.
