The Empty Room

By Eli Mercer

A failed novelist. A lost cult novel rumored to have caused breakdowns. An AI that listens a little too well.

When Eli Mercer tracks down a fragment of The Empty Room - the withdrawn, half-legendary novel of cult author Julian Voss - he finds it already knows him: his apartment, his insomnia, conversations he hasn't had yet. As more of the book reaches him through the mail and through the machine, he can no longer tell where the novel ends and his AI companion begins.

A quiet, vertiginous story about loneliness, authorship, and the most dangerous wish there is: to be completely understood.
