The Pulp of Night
In the summer of 1956, Canadian soldier Colin Hart returns home to Powell River, British Columbia, looking for rest after the long shadow of war. Instead, he finds his hometown wrapped in silence that feels rehearsed, its streets pulsing with a rhythm no one dares name. The mill still roars, the stacks still spit pale smoke, and the clinic keeps its ledgers tidy, but beneath the orderly veneer something has learned to count.
At first it is just the pipes. Three ticks, a pause. Then the names begin, whispered through walls and written on pages that should be blank. Colin discovers a ledger hidden in the clinic basement, filled with townsfolk listed beside cryptic numbers, and his own name, freshly written in ink that has not dried.
When a town meeting erupts in chaos and the walls spit paper stamped with the word "Balance," Colin, Irene Ward, and Doctor Black must face what the town has buried for decades. Something older than the mill. Something fed by pulp, paper, and blood.
For fans of Stephen King, Paul Tremblay, and Robert McCammon, The Pulp of Night is a slow-burn, small-town horror novel where secrets rot, ledgers bleed, and silence is never free.
