Includes the Story "The Wallpaper Man", now a short film from Falconer Film and Media.
An unlikely friendship is born in the red clay dirt of a trailer park. Two latchkey kids who will do anything to hold onto one other, despite the consequences.
A disabled boy and his sister move into a house by the sea, one haunted by a demon living in the walls.
A father on a camping trip in a remote section of Appalachia wakes to find his daughter missing, taken by something not quite human.
A traumatized teenager stumbles across a strange slide at a waterpark—one only he can see.
If Only a Heart and Other Tales of Terror is a visceral collection of 13 stories that explore what happens when we open ourselves to others and dare to let them in. There are monsters in this book, yes, ones whose teeth cut deep, but never as deep as the teeth of the monsters in the mirror.

Critic reviews
"A captivating collection of creepy tales, infused with loss and pathos, about the most terrifying organ in the body—the human heart." (Brian Asman, author of Man, F--k This House)
“Caleb Stephens is a hell of a writer, certainly. But he’s also a diabolical magician. In If Only a Heart, he populates his tales with characters so familiar at first glance, so seemingly comforting, you’d swear they were your own family, friends, neighbors…even yourself. But while you’re distracted, he lets dread and terror seep in until they’ve sawed your heart in half. ‘How’d he do it?’ you ask; but it’s too late, the next trick’s about to begin.” (Patrick Barb, author of Helicopter Parenting in the Age of Drone Warfare and Gargantuana’s Ghost)
“If Only a Heart is a series of rich and vivid nightmares. Caleb Stephens powerfully weaves inhuman terrors into all-too-human tales of fraught relationships and personal suffering. Gorgeous prose. A breathtaking collection.” (Christi Nogle, Bram Stoker award-winning author of Beulah)

Caleb's stories are quite different from each other, yet they give you a foreboding sense of fright through them all. If you like Stephen King, Peter Straub, or even Edgar Allen Poe, you'll enjoy this one too.
I listened to the audiobook version of this book, and the narrator, Dr. NoSleep, was great too. His voice definitely fit the stories well.
I look forward to reading more from Caleb Stephens.

Dr. NoSleep is the narrator for the audible version. The production was above and beyond what I was expecting based on other audiobooks. There's ambiance music, sound effects, and all. To be fair, I expect nothing less from Dr. NoSleep. If you're a fan, you are gonna need the audiobook.
Thank you Caleb for my audible copy. I really enjoyed spending a day within your stories.

The only real critique I have is the narration & production, complete with sound effects, was a little too much of a distraction at points. I think reading this one might be the better way to go. Regardless, it’s definitely well worth the read.
This is a solid collection
