"I told you I'd haunt those you love, Benjamin... but I never said I wouldn't become one of them first."
Five years ago, Benjamin thought he had defeated the demon in his SoulSilver cartridge. He thought the crucifix had buried the vengeful Gengar he called 'Nightmare' forever. He was wrong. Data never truly dies; it just waits for a new host.
When Ben buys a "Special Edition" copy of Pokémon Red off eBay to finally move past his trauma, he thinks he's safe playing it with his friends and the elegant, mysterious girl he's grown close to. But within the glitched lines of code dwells a legend-Glitchy Red. Red is unstable, possessive, and tired of being a puppet. When a "freak accident" reveals the girl Ben loves is actually the ghost that has been hunting him for years, the digital and physical worlds collide.
One is a king of glitches. The other is a queen of nightmares. Together, they have a playful, toxic, and terrifying bond that Ben can't escape. Red wants Ben's soul, but Nightmare has a much slower, more painful game in mind. And if Red ruins her fun? She'll take more than just his crown.
"Careful, Red. I've taken a Master's head before. Don't make me do it again."
