Where the Silence Waits
by Matt Greeno
When Connor Hayes returns to the house he once fled as a child, he doesn't expect to find anything waiting for him-certainly not the red toy truck he thought had vanished in the fire, and never the voice of the brother no one else seems to remember.
But the house remembers.
The silence remembers.
Beneath the floorboards, in the hallway that shouldn't exist, through cassette tapes that play without power, something has been whispering-waiting-not to haunt, but to be heard. And when Connor listens, he uncovers a childhood memory too real to be a dream and too forgotten to be a lie.
Now, he must return to the place where it all began: the room that was sealed, the tape that was never supposed to be played, and the version of himself he left behind. Because the silence isn't chasing him.
It's inviting him.
Told in a slow-burning, atmospheric style that chills as deeply as it resonates, Where the Silence Waits is a psychological horror novel about memory, loss, and the echoes we inherit when the truth is left unsaid.
