Scientist Elora Quinn has been trapped in the same death loop since 1933.
Murdered for research that got too close to something vast and hungry, she relives her final night on repeat in a place ghosts whisper about but cannot explain.

Then the loop fractures.

A maintainer from beyond the veil arrives in Nashville to investigate a disturbance deep beneath the city’s limestone and Elora becomes the anomaly he cannot file away. Together they follow a trail of missing spirits, broken harmonies and a hidden mechanism feeding on what should be set free.

Something has rerouted the afterlife.
And ghosts are just the leftovers.

If you loved the creeping unease of Annihilation, the suffocating secrets of Mexican Gothic or the reality-bending momentum of Recursion, step closer.

Welcome to Veilspace.
