N.B. Cross writes quiet horror and dark fiction rooted in memory, grief, and small towns where the trees seem to breathe. His debut collection, Static Between the Trees, explores the eerie spaces between what is lost and what refuses to fade. Drawing inspiration from Robert Dunbar, Charles L. Grant, and the haunting mood of David Lynch, he writes stories where silence unsettles more than screams. He lives in Michigan, where rural landscapes and cold winters often find their way onto the page.
