About The Space Between Things

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator. Nothing announces itself at the time; meaning appears only later. In The Space Between Things, D. C. Hobson brings together a collection of short stories concerned with moments that resist explanation as they occur—pauses, near-misses, quiet recognitions, and the emotional distances that shape ordinary lives. These are stories of people in motion and in waiting: encounters that almost change everything, conversations that arrive a fraction too late, journeys where the significance lies not in the destination but in what is noticed along the way. Set across shifting landscapes and interior spaces, each piece captures a precise emotional moment and then steps back, allowing the reader room to reflect. Written with restraint and clarity, Hobson's stories favour implication over exposition and atmosphere over plot. Meaning accumulates slowly, often revealing itself only after the moment has passed. What remains are traces—of love, regret, memory, and the small decisions that quietly alter the course of a life. This collection continues Hobson's interest in place, timing, and human connection, offering a series of carefully observed scenes that linger long after they end. The Space Between Things is a book for readers who value subtlety, emotional intelligence, and the power of what is left unsaid.
