Empty Glass: Last Call of a Genre

By W.C. Burkhalter

Los Angeles, 1947. The war is over, but Jackson Bennett's battles are just beginning. Armed with a typewriter, a bottle of bourbon, and too many ghosts to name, he sets out to write his way to fame- but the story he's writing begins to write back.

Ruby Davis. Vera Saint. Camilla Reyes.
Three women. Three shadows. One man torn between the page and the past.

But when Jackson knocks on the door of George Freeman- the legendary "Noir King"- the line between fiction and reality shatters. .

Empty Glass is a surreal noir spiral through smoke, betrayal, and ink-soaked madness.
A story about writing, addiction, identity- and what happens when the story refuses to end.
