The Minute That Stops

By Zach Ferguson

For sixty seconds every afternoon, the town of Vesper stops.

The clocks die. The lights fail. For one unfinished minute - 3:17, the same
sixty seconds, every single day - nothing moves but the light. The people of
Vesper have lived around it for longer than they'll admit. They don't talk
about it. They don't talk about the ones who are gone, either.

Freelance journalist Quinn Marsh came to write the story no one else believes.
What she finds is worse than a haunting: the people who vanished here never
left. They're still inside that minute - awake, unaging, waiting - and the
longer Quinn looks, the more the minute looks back.

Because in Vesper, looking is how the door opens. And looking is the one thing
Quinn has never been able to stop doing.

A haunting, slow-burn supernatural mystery about grief, time, and the
unbearable need to know what really happened.

The Strange Town Files follow journalist Quinn Marsh into the small American
towns where the impossible is quietly, permanently real. Each book is a
complete, standalone story and can be read in any order.
