Summary

Not every horror comes with footsteps. Some appear only when you’re alone. Some speak in voices you almost recognize. And some… are already inside the room. In this chilling collection, Otis Jiry and Malcolm Blackwood invite you to explore five unnerving tales where the true danger isn’t what hunts—it’s what waits. From backwoods silence and desert echoes to forgotten fields and shifting paths, each story whispers the same question: What if the scariest thing isn’t what’s coming… but what never left? Turn down the lights. Keep your eyes forward. And whatever you do—don’t look twice. These are the Things That Linger.
