The Arrival is the first chilling novella in The Fractured Veil series, a psychological suspense saga where memory, identity, and reality collide.
When Ash moves into a quiet coastal town for a temporary archivist job, everything seems ordinary at first. The locals are polite, the boarding house strict, the fog thick but familiar.
Then come the oddities:
A locked door that ticks like a heartbeat.
Neighbours who insist Ash has been here before.
A friend who vanishes overnight - and a town that swears she never existed.
Photographs that show Ash living another life, ten years ago.
As paranoia escalates, Ash begins to question not only the town but their own identity. Because in this place, names are shared, memories are borrowed, and copies don't always come back right.
Step inside if you dare - but remember the rule: when the house calls your name, don't answer.
Perfect for fans of Shutter Island, House of Leaves, and Behind Her Eyes, this novella delivers claustrophobic dread and a twist ending that will haunt you long after the last page.
