There are a lot of glimpses into the main character's working life as a paramedic. Something about reading of people doing a hard day's work gets me mad comfy, sitting here on my ass.

The red door.
It's about a schizo trying to live a normal life, having social relationships and regular routines until reality starts bending around him, he learns morse code out of autism because he saw a war movie and suddenly hears a bird tapping on his window sending a morse code message saying "it's coming" and much more hallucinations.

look up anthologies by Martin Kaye. they're by different authors, Martin just chooses them basically. they can be found for cheap on used book sites
also an anthology called "the dark descent"
