The Man Who Wasn't There
A Project Vanish Case File
By Philip Stengel
Some men disappear. Others are erased.
Ironhaven is a city that forgets. Where the fog never lifts, the cops look the other way, and names vanish from records like they were never spoken. When down-and-out PI Jonah Carver is hired to find a missing fianc , he expects infidelity-not metaphysics.
But Thomas Reardon didn't just skip town. According to the government, he never existed.
What begins as a routine case spirals into a nightmare of erased identities, secret experiments, and creatures made of screaming static. Hunted by impossible figures and haunted by a past he can't outrun, Carver must uncover the truth behind Project Vanish-an off-the-books government program that didn't just break reality... it weaponized it.
As the line between memory and madness dissolves, Carver faces a single, terrifying question:
If they can rewrite the past...
Who says you were ever here at all?
