A tech-driven horror novel about a theme park where ghosts escape into reality.
The narrative follows three specific characters navigating a catastrophic system failure at a supernatural entertainment venue. Ben seeks personal redemption for Lilian, while Dr. Wexler observes the experiment’s psychological toll. The central conflict arises from the virus that removes the Recurrence Field barrier, forcing the group to use their understanding of horror conventions and gaming logic to survive. Ralston frames the terror through the lens of broken safety protocols and digital glitches rather than ancient curses.
This work reflects contemporary fears surrounding augmented reality technology and virtual entertainment venues. It situates supernatural elements within a modern, tech-saturated context where safety relies on digital systems that can fail.

⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
Ralston successfully constructs a claustrophobic atmosphere where technological failure drives the horror. The concept of a virus dismantling the Recurrence Field provides a unique twist on the trapped-in-a-venue trope. By framing survival through gaming logic and horror conventions, the narrative maintains high tension without relying on traditional folklore. While it may disappoint readers seeking slow-burn gothic atmospheres, it excels in delivering visceral, tech-centric dread. The focus on psychological impact alongside supernatural threat creates a layered reading experience suitable for modern horror audiences who enjoy speculative elements woven into their scares.
