📝 Description: Where It Gets In: A Double Feature of Quiet Horror - Mites & Dream Repair, LLC

Brian Wayne Hand presents a collection of two unsettling narratives in Where It Gets In. The first story, Dream Repair, LLC, follows a man with a unique ability to remove nightmares for a fee. His work does not eliminate fear but relocates it. A Phoenix psychologist notices identical dreams appearing among her patients and traces the source back to this provider. The second tale, Mites, centers on Danny Hicks, a recently divorced biology teacher who moves into an inexpensive apartment. He discovers that scratching in the walls signals a deeper loss. Something behind the plaster takes pieces of him while he sleeps, threatening his very identity rather than just his physical safety. This volume examines memory, sleep, and unseen systems that consume human fear. Hand structures the book as a double feature, allowing readers to experience two distinct ordinary lives disrupted by supernatural intrusions. The stories draw on gothic traditions where the horror emerges from domestic spaces and psychological vulnerability. Readers who prefer slow-burn dread over jump scares will find this collection suitable. Those seeking fast-paced action or traditional monster hunts may find the quiet tone too restrained. The ISBN for this edition is 9798255614677.
