Restful Sleep and Other Nightmares
Stories by Patrick T. Luce
Some nightmares don't end when you wake...
In this collection of unsettling short stories, Patrick T. Luce explores the quiet spaces where fear grows — childhood homes, wooded backroads, hospital rooms, and the fragile boundaries between waking life and something else entirely.
A businessman awakens in chains among silent captives and inhuman watchers.
A hospitalized man claims he can separate from his own body...but what follows suggests his story hides darker intentions.
A family's life is turned upside-down as something pale and patient begins stalking them.
These are not tales of gore or shock, but of unease. They live where dread blooms from ordinary moments, and the uncertainty of not knowing what waits just beyond sight might be too much to bear.
Restful Sleep and Other Nightmares is a collection for readers who prefer their horror to whisper instead of scream, and linger long after the final page is turned.
SECRET STAIRS: A TRIBUTE TO URBAN LEGEND
You mustn't talk about the stairs.
There they stand, surrounded by nothing but forest, pristine as the day they were built. No sign remains of any other structure around them, no ruins of long forgotten buildings. They look—wrong. They feel wrong. Bad things happen if you get too close. Horrible things.
You must never, ever talk about them...
Thirty-four of today's best up and coming writers provide wonderfully unique interpretations inspired by the urban legends of the internet age.

FROM THE MUSIC BOX
After a bitter argument shatters their marriage, Daniel and Sarah King go their separate ways. Months later, when a mysterious package arrives containing Sarah's heirloom music box, Daniel knows it's time to make things right.
Only one problem—Sarah is nowhere to be found.
Every attempt to contact her leads to a dead end, and a gnawing fear takes hold—something is terribly wrong. Determined to reconcile and uncover the truth, Daniel travels to the quiet town of West Heights, only to find himself ensnared in a nightmare.
With each chilling clue pushing him closer to the edge of madness, Daniel must confront the sinister forces that seem hellbent on keeping Sarah hidden. As reality unravels around him, one thing becomes clear—the key to everything lies within the haunting melody that flows from the music box.
