Cold Girls Stay Quiet - A Short Story Collection
 
Cold Girls Stay Quiet is a chilling, sharply observed collection of interconnected stories set in the towns of Paxton and Willow Brook—where missing girls, predatory charm, and the limits of justice converge. In this world, horror creeps in not just through supernatural myths and urban legends, but through the cold silences of communities that fail to protect their daughters. With stories like Justice Speaks Too Much, Ember’s Light, Miss Popularity, and Cold Can Burn Too, Kayla Tellington delivers psychological suspense, dark wit, and aching social commentary in equal measure. These girls are not simply victims—they are witnesses, survivors, and sometimes the ones we failed to save. This collection doesn’t flinch. It lets the girls speak, even if it’s too late.
