Sanctuary of Silence

Welcome to Deadly Silence, a multi-author collection of chilling short stories where every pause hides a threat. Crafted to make your pulse quicken and your nerves tighten, these thrillers and light horror tales uncover the terror that lurks in the quiet, waiting to be noticed—or ignored.

Sera Conrad is desperate for a fresh start free of the rubble she's left in her wake. Upon graduating drug court, she finds herself with thousands of dollars of fines that she plans to work off via community service at the picturesque, high-society animal sanctuary, The Marks Estate. This opportunity becomes more than she ever could have imagined, but once inside, Sera learns that the image portrayed by the family is merely a carefully crafted image. Behind the glass walls of this lavish home, darkness has grown like an invasive species, marked by the stench of decaying humanity, sickening secrets, and terrible abuse. What starts as a hopeful means to an end, ends as a nightmare filled with silent screams. Are the strange signs real or just residual effects of her past?
