THE EIGHTH DAY

Seven days remain.

Autumn, 1787.

When surveyor Oliver Hales arrives in the isolated frontier settlement of Black Hollow, he expects a routine assignment. The town's records contain inconsistencies. Property lines need verification. A few missing pages and conflicting accounts should be nothing more than the ordinary frustrations of life on the edge of civilization.

Instead, he discovers a place where facts refuse to stay consistent.

A creek appears where no creek should exist.

A trail cannot be found on any map.

Distances change between one journey and the next.

Witnesses remember the same events differently.

Clocks disagree.

Records contradict themselves.

And through it all, the people of Black Hollow continue a calm, deliberate countdown toward a day they call the Eighth Day.

No one treats it as superstition.

No one treats it as folklore.

No one seems surprised that it is coming.

They simply prepare.

Determined to uncover the truth, Oliver begins documenting every inconsistency he can find. As a surveyor, he trusts measurement, observation, and evidence. If something is wrong, there must be a reason. If a map is inaccurate, it can be corrected. If witnesses disagree, facts can be separated from fear.

But the deeper he investigates, the less reliable the world becomes.

Roads seem longer than they should be.

Landmarks appear where they do not belong.

Memories shift.

Events occur in the wrong order.

Cause and effect begin to separate.

Even reality itself seems unable to agree on what happened.

Yet one thing remains certain.

The countdown.

As the final day approaches, Oliver realizes that Black Hollow's people are not ignoring the contradictions surrounding them. They are watching them. Recording them. Preparing for them.

Because the Eighth Day has come before.

And if the town is to survive, it will come again.

Following an old trail hidden beyond the settlement, Oliver is drawn toward the source of the growing instability-a place where memory, history, and reality begin to overlap. There he will discover that the contradictions haunting Black Hollow are not mistakes at all, but symptoms of something far older and far more dangerous than he ever imagined.

Something that has already changed his life.

Perhaps many times before.

A haunting blend of historical horror, frontier mystery, folk horror, psychological suspense, and cosmic dread, The Eighth Day is a story about memory, identity, community, and the fragile records people leave behind when certainty begins to fail.

Perfect for readers of Stephen King, Dan Simmons, Christopher Buehlman, C. J. Tudor, Justin Cronin, and atmospheric horror where mystery and character matter as much as fear.

At its heart, The Eighth Day asks a simple question:

If memory cannot be trusted, what remains?

In Black Hollow, the answer has always been the same.

What is remembered survives.
