The Things That Knock - Paperback

by Christopher Winterberg (Author)

Something is waiting on the other side.

In The Things That Knock, ordinary lives crack open under impossible pressure. A woman meets a version of herself that should not exist. A bright suburban morning becomes a ritual of unanswered calls and dead voices. A child's imaginary friend may be older, hungrier, and far more real than anyone wants to believe.

Across seven stories of psychological and supernatural horror, Christopher Winterberg turns familiar places into traps: laundromats, bedrooms, kitchens, suburban streets, thrift stores, and sun-blasted houses where the walls remember too much.

These are stories about thresholds. Doors. Windows. Phones. Mirrors. The small sounds people ignore until it is too late.

Because sometimes the worst thing outside is not trying to break in.

Sometimes it only has to knock.
