2015: He just wanted to sell costumes. Now, he’s losing his grip on reality to a threat he can’t even see.
Jack is a purist: his vintage shop, Things That Go Bump, runs on a rotary phone and a cash register, entirely cut off from the digital world. But when a strange, hypnotic costume arrives without a sender, and a persistent digital expert insists Jack must get online, his peaceful isolation begins to crack.
Time slips. Vivid memories of people and places that never existed flood his mind. The terrifying feeling that something unnatural is trying to wear him evolves when he discovers the terror isn’t supernatural—it’s corporate.
To stop the spreading contagion from turning into a national epidemic of mass paranoia, Jack must abandon his skepticism, embrace the technology he hates, and commit a desperate crime that will shatter his life forever.
Things That Go Bump is a slow-burn supernatural thriller about fear, control, and the sinister thinness of the veil between worlds.
