Stories where the past refuses to stay buried.
Two standalone supernatural mysteries set in rural Australia. Quiet towns. Old houses. Something watching from inside the walls.
Where the Cracks Begin
The house on Ridley Road was meant to be temporary — cheap rent, a fresh start, somewhere quiet enough to recover. But the walls carry their own history.
At first, it’s only small things: sounds that don’t belong, fine fractures in the plaster, the feeling of being watched from inside the house itself. Then a local girl’s disappearance resurfaces, and the cracks begin to reveal what the town chose to forget.

A Hundred Years Between Us
When Emma and her father move into an old country house on the outskirts of a Victorian town, they expect isolation — not a past that refuses to stay quiet.
Hidden beneath the floorboards is a diary belonging to a girl who vanished in 1920. As Emma reads the final entries, the house begins to respond, drawing her into memories that never faded — and a truth that waited a hundred years to be uncovered.

About Bruce Little
Bruce Little is an Australian author of atmospheric supernatural mysteries, drawn to quiet towns, old houses, and the stories that linger long after the people have gone.
His novels explore grief, memory, and the way places absorb what happens inside them. Rather than fast shocks or overt horror, Bruce writes slow-burn stories where unease builds gradually — through silence, repetition, and things left unexplained.
Set largely in rural and regional Australia, his work is inspired by forgotten streets, fog-covered mornings, and the sense that some places remember more than they should. Both A Hundred Years Between Us and Where the Cracks Begin are standalone novels, connected by mood rather than mythology.
When he isn’t writing, Bruce enjoys photography, exploring small Victorian towns, and capturing the landscapes and textures that quietly find their way into his fiction.
