Hold Still

Some things don't announce themselves when they leave.Hold Still is a two-story collection from Isaiah J. Jackson — a writer known for horror that lives in the quiet, in the ordinary, in the moment just before everything shifts.In Your Echo, a boy lies in the grass beneath two stars and reaches across time, trying to send something back to himself before it's too late. The sky is listening. Something answers.In Through the Lens, a girl spends what should be an ordinary Saturday at the zoo with her family. She has her pink camera. She has her mom. She has her brother Isaac. The camera has been taking pictures she didn't take. And what it's showing her has been there the whole time.Two stories. One silence between them.For readers of quiet horror, literary dark fiction, and stories that stay with you long after the last page.
