Pain Overload
Every return leaves someone else with the damage.
Nineteen-year-old Nate Heller can read an arcade game in seconds. Reading his own future is harder. At Lucky Eight, he can put off the job interview, the awkward questions, and the life waiting outside.
Then everyone disappears. The doors will not open. And an unfamiliar red cabinet has one last instruction for him.
Nate wakes in a city of receiving beds, flooded passages, and machinery that answers to rules no one will explain completely. Death brings him back. It does nothing for the people left behind, or for what he remembers.
A mechanic trying to save her mother offers practical help. A stranger claims to understand exactly what Nate has lost. A doctor can make the worst memories quieter. Each has something Nate needs. Each has a reason to withhold the rest.
As repairs expose old betrayals and desperate choices spread through the city, Nate must discover what keeps returning him to life and what ending that arrangement will demand of him.
PAIN OVERLOAD is an adult novel of splatter horror and psychological suspense, where graphic violence, fragile trust, and the consequences of survival share the same uneasy ground.
