A man drifts in a viscous dreamscape beneath a world that moved on without him. As memory, time, and regret solidify around him, he’s left to confront the stillness he spent a lifetime becoming.
When Lucy gets sick, her best friend abandons her. As she watches her move on without her, a voice beneath the bed offers comfort if Lucy promises to let it out.
During a midwinter road trip to her brother’s college, a girl recalls laughter, snow-covered hills, and the stillness that followed. On a quiet stretch of highway, something waits beneath the frost.

Some stories haunt because they’re true. Not in the details, but in the feelings we carry and the silences we live with.

Static Between the Trees is a collection of quiet horror stories exploring grief, memory, and the strange beauty of decay. About memories that echo, slip, and shift in the corners of our minds. About grief, not as a monster in the dark, but as a quiet presence we carry.

Beneath the surface, familiar truths echo:

The quiet ache of lost friendships
The fading wonder of childhood
The weight of unspoken goodbyes
The eerie slipperiness of memory itself

For readers drawn to the atmospheric dread of David Lynch, the literary unease of Mariana Enr�quez, or the quiet hauntings of Shirley Jackson, this collection is for those who find fear not in what jumps out, but in what slips away.

Rooted in the emotional terrain of loss, dementia, and fractured memory, these fifteen tales unravel the spaces between reality and unreality.

About the Author

N.B. Cross writes fiction that lingers in the space between sorrow and the surreal. His work explores memory, isolation, and the quiet unease that slips into everyday life. Whether it's a town that forgets itself or a boy haunted by something only he can see, his stories often begin where certainty ends.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
