They weren't meant to be read.
They weren't meant to survive.
Stories Found on Broken Phones is a collection of unsettling short stories told entirely through fragments recovered from damaged, abandoned, or destroyed mobile devices. Cracked screens. Corrupted voice notes. Unsent texts. Photos with no explanation. Draft messages that end mid-sentence.
Each story reconstructs a life-or a disappearance-through what remains on a broken phone:
- A voicemail recorded during a blackout
- Notes written as reality begins to distort
- Photos that show something the owner never noticed
- Text conversations that continue after one person is gone
Nothing is explained. Nothing is complete. And that's what makes these stories feel uncomfortably real.
Perfect for readers who enjoy:
- Experimental and conceptual horror
- Found-footage-style storytelling
- Creepy short stories with modern tech themes
- Psychological dread over gore
Some phones break from impact.
Others break after what they've seen.
