The House Doesn't End At The Walls

By Stacey Miller

Houses are supposed to keep things out.
These houses are already full.

In The House Doesn't End at the Walls, familiar spaces turn quietly hostile. A soundproof room begins to listen back. A reflection lingers too long. An empty apartment insists on an extra occupant. Hallways stretch, rooms soften, memories thin, and doors appear where there were none before.

These stories don't rely on monsters or sudden violence. Instead, they explore the slow erosion of safety-how rooms remember, how silence presses, how something unseen can settle into a space and refuse to leave. Each story tightens the sense of enclosure until escape feels not just impossible, but unnecessary.

From private apartments to public places, from whispers on the phone to rituals entire towns agree not to question, this collection traces the moment when a place stops being neutral-and starts deciding who belongs.

The House Doesn't End at the Walls is a collection of quiet, inescapable horror for readers who prefer dread over shock, atmosphere over answers, and the feeling that something followed them out of the room.
