Taylor Charles Hall presents a chilling narrative set in Palm Gate, Florida, where the quiet life of a university town is shattered by dark revelations. Two academics publish research suggesting that human history is driven by a hidden specter within our genetic code. They identify an oppressor group called chrome-plus living among us, whose nature remains fixed and hostile as long as they exist. The story follows these scholars as they attempt to discredit their own terrifying findings. Their goal is to stop the panic spreading through their community and to protect it from the fallout of such dangerous knowledge. However, a relentless killer moves to silence anyone who opposes the study’s conclusions. This murderer acts with unstoppable force, targeting those who might cast doubt on the work. Hall writes for readers who enjoy supernatural fiction rooted in scientific horror and gothic tension. The plot relies on the fear of invisible enemies within our own biology.
