Some jobs follow you home. Others never let you leave.
A stain returns after every wash-and begins taking the shape of a body. An abandoned hospital window reveals a room that shouldn't exist. High above an empty atrium, two cleaners cast three shadows.
For the crews in The Jobs We Don't Talk About, the work begins with familiar routines: inspect the equipment, set the ropes, start the water, finish the job. But beneath the grime and behind the glass, something is waiting.
Across twelve chilling stories, window cleaners and pressure-washing crews encounter buildings that remember, reflections that move on their own, and workdays that refuse to end. Sometimes cleaning reveals the truth. Sometimes the dirt was the only thing keeping it contained.
Drawing on his experience as a high-rise window cleaner, Jerry W. Nelson Jr. brings the working world into a collection of supernatural horror, creeping suspense, and unsettling twists. Each story features a black-and-white illustration in the tradition of vintage horror comics.
The Jobs We Don't Talk About: A Collection of Blue-Collar Horror - Volume One: Glass and Water is for readers who like ordinary people, impossible situations, and endings that linger after the lights go out.
The work order tells you what needs cleaning. It never tells you what you might uncover.
