Description

In the shadowed streets of San Francisco, middle-aged horror writer Franz Westen tries to rebuild his life after a long alcoholic binge—only to find that grief has a way of returning in stranger forms. As he wanders through the city’s distinctive geometry and landmarks, the ordinary begins to feel arranged, as if the streets themselves are guiding him toward something he can’t quite name. Blending supernatural dread with darkly comic edge, the story explores obsession, memory, and the thin line between imagination and haunting. With its vivid sense of place and a distinctly genre-savvy voice, the novel turns the city into a living puzzle box—one that tests whether Westen can face his loss without being swallowed by it.
