Explore Justine M Dunn’s Books
Justine M Dunn’s fiction moves between the everyday and the strange — parallel lives, unsettled families, and quietly curious short stories. Below you’ll find her two novels, Beach Lanes and The Foundling, plus the three volumes of The Curious Anthology, a collection of flash fiction exploring the odd, the eerie, and the emotionally sharp.
Beach Lanes
Kenzie’s life is unraveling in two universes at once. As he races to stop the inexplicable swaps before they destroy his relationship, he discovers his other self might be the bigger threat.
Beach Lanes is a parallel-universe romance mixed with a psychological edge and a slow-burn thriller. It explores identity, jealousy, and how well we really know the people we love, told through a fractured, dual-reality structure. Fans of speculative romance and unreliable-narrator suspense will find a lot to dig into here.
The Foundling
In 1970s Wyoming, Nancy and Ray Cooper find an abandoned baby on their doorstep. As Nancy bonds deeply with the child, Ray senses something much more unsettling.
Set against the quiet menace of 1970s rural Wyoming, The Foundling is a slow-burn literary thriller about inherited secrets and the darkness that can hide within an ordinary family, exploring maternal obsession and the things we choose not to see.
The Curious Anthology is a three-volume series of flash fiction — ten stories per collection, each a self-contained glimpse into something strange, unresolved, or quietly unsettling. They’re written for readers who love short, sharp fiction with unexpected twists in the tale, and who want a story they can finish in a single sitting.
