THE QUIET REEL
Every noise is a promise.
Jana Hrubá has been capturing the world's sounds for twenty-six years: the sound of rain on rice, the rustle of wings made of leather gloves, the snap of a broken neck of a celery stalk. When an archive invites her to localize a silent film from 1927, The House Without an Echo, she does not expect anything special. Just another day's work, the woman thinks. It is only when she tracks down the footsteps in the film that someone is walking up her flat, using her gait, and limping, one room closer every evening.
The old cue sheet from the film's original presentation warns the listener not to sound the door. Never the voice. Jana has just ignored one such caution. The premiere is tonight.
Some silences were not empty. They were guarded.

Russ Harper learned his father's trade young: you don't cut meat, you take it apart. Nothing gets thrown away. At twelve, scrubbing the slaughter room, he pulled a child's tooth from the drain, and said nothing.
Twenty-two years later, his father is dead, and Russ returns to Barelas to sell the house. He means to stay two days. But the grinder runs unplugged in the dark. A neighbor brings coffee and knows too much. The mother of a boy who vanished decades ago still waits on her street corner, thanking the Harpers for twenty years of free meat. And beneath the yard, behind a little green door, the cistern breathes.
The Cistern is a story about the monsters we love, and the silences that make us their accomplices.

A home exchange in Porto turns sinister when a woman realizes the house has been collecting couples for decades, and has already saved a spot for her and her husband.

A depressed man suddenly finds hope when he meets a woman who looks exactly like his recently dead girlfriend. Trying to make things right, he soon realizes that every pulse on his finger is a heartbeat from the thing coming for him.

A Memoir by Ashley Ginett

What happens when you realize you don’t fit anywhere — not in your family, not in love, not even in your own skin?

In Unbelonging, Ashley Ginett takes readers on a raw and honest journey through the messy, beautiful process of rebuilding a life from the inside out. With unfiltered truth and a voice that’s both fierce and vulnerable, she explores what it means to outgrow old versions of yourself, survive the people who tried to define you, and finally find peace in your own identity.

Equal parts heartbreak and healing, Unbelonging is for anyone who’s ever felt invisible, too much, or out of place — and chose to keep going anyway.…
