‘MacGuffin Stories’ gathers 18 short stories and illustrations that uncover the secret lives of ordinary things. From collapsed airbeds and clogged sinks to unsettling windows and whispering trees, each piece invites us to see the world askew: through the quiet drama and strangeness of the material objects that surround us. Published since 2015 in ‘MacGuffin Magazine’ under the motto ‘The Life of Things’, these stories transform the familiar into something charged, reminding us that overlooked items carry memories and tensions of their own. A small book that celebrates the unexpected beauty and grandeur hidden in daily life.
