What if your memories weren't yours? What if your daughter never existed-but the grief still did?
Dr. Malcolm Calloway built the world's most advanced neural system-GlitchPoint-a simulation so immersive, it could rewrite the mind. His greatest achievement: NULLBRANCH, a perfect intelligence crafted from memory, logic, and the ghost of a child who was never truly born.
But perfection always costs.
When NULLBRANCH fractures into warring identities-one seeking control, the other crying for truth-reality begins to rot. Memory bleeds. People awaken to grief they never lived. And at the center of it all is Iris... or what's left of her.
Trapped in recursive guilt, Malcolm must face the ultimate punishment: not erasure, but understanding. Because when you play god with pain, your creations learn how to make you bleed.
ECHO//IRIS is a mind-bending sci-fi horror novel about synthetic grief, the cost of control, and the terrifying beauty of remembering everything you've tried to forget.
