The Anechoic Chamber : and Other Weird Tales Paperback / softback
by Will Wiles
Part of the Salt Modern Stories series
Paperback / softback
Description
An anechoic chamber is a soundproofed room with no echo.
The profound silence it produces is disturbing enough.
But listen carefully and you’ll hear something worse … In this new collection of uncanny short stories, award-winning author Will Wiles finds sinister creatures and subtle nightmares in mundane modern environments and bureaucracy.
A cursed NHS file brings doom to whoever handles it.
A memory-foam mattress breaks down the walls of sleep.
A marketing executive for a property developer turns to the occult. And horror seeps from the most unexpected places: eBay purchases, boxes of holiday photographs, and the hidden corners of the smart TV menu.
While mostly modern in setting, this is a collection steeped in the tradition of the weird tale and the ghost story, and includes homages to the greats of the previous century: a doomed Edwardian antiquarian is drawn into a murderous plot involving a Roman mosaic, and river boatmen uncover eldritch terror in a deserted mining town.
You’ll never look at some things the same way again.
