Hugh Howey

A compact, atmospheric work of science fiction, *Little Noises* explores the unsettling possibilities that emerge when ordinary life is disrupted by something small, strange, and impossible to ignore. With characteristic interest in technology, human resilience, and the hidden structures shaping everyday existence, Hugh Howey builds tension through ambiguity and intimate detail. Thought-provoking and quietly suspenseful, this short work invites readers to consider how fragile certainty can be—and what may be waiting just beyond the familiar.
