Traces of the Living

“The madness started alongside the road out there. But also clarity. Sharp and scorching as the desert air in your lungs.”

In the heart of an unforgiving desert, Cashel Byrne’s life fractures after an encounter that defies reality. Thrown into a disorienting journey across time and space, he struggles to hold onto his sanity as the world around him unravels. Yet the deeper he ventures into these hostile realms, the more he realizes the greatest threats are not external, but reflections of the duality within himself.

Stripped of everything familiar, Cashel faces a brutal truth: in a universe of infinite possibilities, survival may demand a transformation more terrifying than anything he encounters.

Traces of the Living is a mind-bending exploration of identity, where beauty and cruelty blur, and reality itself becomes untethered.

“The author displays considerable skill and restraint in painting scenes of momentary clarity that draw you in without revealing the details that you crave. At the same time, it is quite satisfying just how much he delivers within the confines of the novella format.” – From a review on Amazon.com
