The Dark Man
During the COVID-19 lockdown, federal archivist Dr. Natra Varga uncovers a forgotten government file buried deep inside a restricted epidemic archive.
Inside are five centuries of reports describing the same thing: a tall, silent figure seen standing near the dying during humanity's worst pandemics.
Physicians recorded him in 1812.
Nurses photographed him in 1918.
The government studied him in secret-and buried the research.
They called him The Dark Man.
As sightings begin appearing again across the world, Natra discovers the pattern the suppressed research revealed: the figure does not cause the catastrophes he appears in.
He witnesses them.
And his presence always precedes the deadliest wave.
As the pandemic spirals toward its worst phase, Natra must decide whether to reveal the truth about the figure who has stood at the edge of human extinction for centuries-watching to see whether the species survives.
THE DARK MAN is a literary psychological gothic novel about catastrophe, memory, and the ancient presence that has silently witnessed every plague humanity has endured.
For readers of Annihilation, Station Eleven, The Passage, and The Leftovers.
