If you enjoy dark fiction and crave chills in short, potent bursts, this one’s for you.
Tiny stories. Big terror.
Ten bite-sized tales of terror born from lockdown isolation — where the real horror begins behind closed doors.
In The Unfamiliar & Other Stories, fear takes many forms — strange telephone calls, creeping dread behind everyday routines, and the unsettling unknown lurking in our own homes. Inspired by the eerie stillness and quiet paranoia of the pandemic, these ten short and flash fiction tales explore the thin line between safety and danger, normal and unrecognisable.
From haunted houses to sinister encounters, from suffocating isolation to supernatural threats that thrive in silence — every story delivers a sharp jolt of unease.
Lock the doors. Silence your phone. And don’t trust the comfort of your own home.
What a wickedly surprising treat this collection was! I bought it on a whim and walked away more than satisfied when I finished. This is a brief collection, but the quality of the stories more than make up for the lack in quantity.

If you like a good horror story, with a bit of a twist, I’d highly recommend you check this author out! This book is short, but sweet as it goes..I really loved the short, but straight into it aspect of this book.

This book is an exploration of the the kind of ‘what if…?’ questions we all ask ourselves from time to time. Except they’ve been explored in a gentle, dark fashion, that makes you think about them long after you’ve read them.
