Description

In the hottest summer on record, London feels like it’s tightening—prices climb, tempers flare, and fear seeps into the ordinary until five strangers are sealed together in a tube car beneath the city. When the train stops, something hungry has already marked them, and what follows is a descent into dissociation, missing time, and unsettling disappearances that blur the line between memory and nightmare. As their lives fracture in different ways, they must form an uneasy alliance to reconstruct what happened and why it’s still hunting for witnesses. With Jonathan Sims’ signature blend of creeping dread and socially charged horror, this is a story about how terror spreads through everyday cracks—and what it costs to resist when the past won’t stay buried.
