“I read Soft Erasure in one sitting. The twist at 70% made me put it down and stare at the wall. Then I picked it back up and read faster.”

File 02 · The Story
“Amber thought the luxury apartment was her fresh start. She didn't know every room was a cage.”
But something is wrong with the apartment. Small things at first. A door she doesn't remember leaving open, a schedule that seems to know her movements before she does.
When she starts investigating, she discovers the building's systems aren't managing her comfort. They're managing her compliance. And the man who placed her here, her therapist Matthew Caldren, isn't finished.

What readers are saying.
“This isn't a thriller that shocks you. It's one that makes you realize you've been uneasy for 200 pages without knowing why. That's the more terrifying kind.”

“The protagonist's voice is so precise it's unsettling. Like watching someone describe being gaslit in real time, with no vocabulary for it yet.”

File 05 · The Opening
The apartment is quiet in a way that has a shape to it.
I've been here eleven days. I know this because I've been counting. Seven breaths in, seven out, the way Dr. Caldren taught me. Counting keeps the edges solid.
The building is called The Meridian. Thirty-one floors of glass and steel and systems that know when I wake up before I do. The thermostat adjusts at 6:47 every morning, two minutes before my alarm. I told myself it was a coincidence.
I'm getting better at telling myself things.
