When investigative journalist Chris Locke follows a source into Chicago's underground tunnels, he uncovers a hidden market that trades in stolen human consciousness.
He survives. But something essential is taken from him.
As journalists begin disappearing across the country, Chris learns the entity behind the market is using his stolen cognitive patterns to identify its next targets. It is hunting reporters with his mind-anticipating their questions before they ask them.
To stop it, Chris must recover what was taken and expose a system designed not just to silence the truth, but to erase the people capable of finding it.
But even if he succeeds, part of him will remain inside the thing he's chasing.
Curated is a literary investigative horror novel about institutional complicity, identity theft at its most literal level, and the cost of seeing too clearly.
For readers of The Gone World, Annihilation, and Never Let Me Go.
