Reddit horror sensation Dathan Auerbach delivers a devilishly dark novel about a young guy who goes missing, and the brother who have won’t stop looking for him.

Eric disappeared when he was three years old. Ben looked away for only a second at the grocery store, but that was all it required. His brother was eliminated. Vanished directly into the sticky atmosphere of the Florida Panhandle.

They say you have a couple times to find a missing person. Forty-eight hours to carry out queries, knock on doors, and talk about Bad Guy: A Book to witnesses. Two times to tear the world aside if there’s any chance of putting yours back collectively. That’s your windows.

That window shut five years back, leaving Ben’s existence in ruins. He still looks for his brother. Still searches, while his stepmother sits and waits and whispers for Eric, refusing to go out that Ben’s father can’t afford. Now twenty and desperate for work, Ben requires a night stock job on the only place that will possess him: the store that blinked Eric out of presence.

Ben can feel that there’s something amiss there. With the people. Along with his boss. Using the graffitied baler that shudders and moans and beckons. There’s something wrong with the atmosphere itself. He knows he’s in the proper place now. The fact that store has very much to tell him. Therefore he keeps looking. Keeps searching for his baby brother, while missing the main message of most.

That he must have stopped looking.
