Some stories are not meant to be consumed quickly.
They linger. They whisper. They follow you long after the final page.
Echoes of the Forgotten was born from that idea.
Some stories don’t begin with action, but with a feeling — the quiet sense that something has been lost, and is waiting to be remembered.
This novel is not a race toward answers — it is a slow descent into memory, loss, and the fragile boundary between what we remember and what we choose to forget.
A Town That Remembers Too Much
Ash Hollow is a quiet town on the surface.
But silence, when stretched too long, becomes heavy.
In this story, place is not just a setting — it is a presence.
The woods seem to watch.
The past refuses to stay buried.
And the well… is more than just a warning.
Stay away from the well… or it will take you too.
Ash Hollow holds memories like scars. Some visible. Others buried deep beneath time.
A Story About Memory — Not Monsters
This is not a traditional thriller.
There are no loud jump scares.
No fast-paced chase scenes.
Instead, the tension grows slowly — through atmosphere, emotional weight, and psychological unease.
Echoes of the Forgotten explores:
-
how memory fractures under trauma
-
how grief distorts perception
-
how time can feel unstable when truth is buried
The fear does not come from what appears — but from what refuses to disappear.
Eva’s Return
When Eva returns to the town she once fled, she expects discomfort.
What she doesn’t expect is recognition.
The town remembers her.
The woods respond.
And fragments of the past begin to surface — visions that don’t belong to the present, voices without a source, moments that feel out of time.
As Eva digs deeper, one question becomes impossible to ignore:
What if memory itself is unreliable — and truth is hiding in the gaps?
Slow-Burn by Design
This book was written deliberately as a slow-burn psychological mystery.
The goal is not speed.
The goal is immersion.
Readers who connect most deeply with this story are those who enjoy:
- subtle supernatural undertones
- psychological tension
- character-driven narratives
- stories where atmosphere matters more than answers
If you prefer mystery that unfolds quietly — this story is for you.
An Expanding Universe
Echoes of the Forgotten is the first novel set in what will become the Ash Hollow universe.
Time fractures.
Memories echo.
And some truths span generations.
Future installments will explore deeper layers of the town’s history, hidden timelines, and the consequences of unresolved trauma.
This is only the beginning.

Final Thought
Some stories fade when you close the book.
Others stay with you.
Echoes of the Forgotten was written for readers who enjoy stories that linger — stories that echo quietly, long after the last page.

You’re already closer to Ash Hollow than you think.
Some stories end. Others stay with you. Echoes of the Forgotten remembers you long after the last page.
