Nothing Has Happened to You

Nothing Has Happened to You is a collection of short stories in which the ordinary twists into the uncanny, and the familiar becomes strange. Memory, family, and grief blur with phantoms that may or may not exist, and the smallest moments-opening a door, telling a story, looking into the dark-carry the weight of dread.

A young girl confides in a silent companion no one else can see, who grows smaller each time he returns. A lover reveals she has been dead for years and will soon be forgotten. A tenant discovers his basement suite may not exist at all, except as an echo of guilt. Elsewhere, lost children, haunted objects, and voices from the grave stir quietly at the edges of daily life.

Rory Say, whose work has appeared in Weird Horror, Dark Recesses, Metastellar, The NoSleep Podcast, Tales to Terrify, and more, writes with precision, lyricism, and an unshakable sense of unease. Each tale is self-contained, yet together they form a world where nothing is certain, and dread lingers long after the last page.
