Stories That Remain

By Abbie Messerall

Stories That Remain is a Paranormal Thriller Novella told through a series of interconnected short stories of the past from former tenants of the same apartment building. Following the events of the novel Parastone, these are stories that never made it into its pages. While Parastone traced the building's known history and the forces believed to shape it, Stories That Remain turns to the voices that came forward after reading Parastone.

These are not traditional ghost stories, but rather intimate accounts of how encountering the inexplicable often fractures memory, corrodes trust in one's own perception, and reshapes a life long after the haunting ends. As the stories are reflected, the building emerges as a shared yet unstable place, with the truth shifting with every testimony. Together, they suggest that whatever Parastone attempted to document was incomplete, and that the building's true legacy exists not in recorded history, but in memories that refuse to fade.

Stories That Remain explores disturbing firsthand accounts of ghostly encounters that leaves readers to decide what truly haunted the building.
