Some families die out loud. Others disappear in pieces.
When a body surfaces in the Bay, old ghosts resurface - and violence, memory, and bloodlines collide. A fractured circle of friends is forced to face what they were taught to bury: the things they didn't do, the truths they ignored, and the ones they couldn't save.
Salt in the Spine is a novel of psychological literary fiction and visual world-building, told through a chorus of haunted voices. The prose cuts lean, and scenes unfold like memory: fractured, overlapping, and sometimes unreliable. Timelines splinter. Wounds half-heal. And the body always comes back as evidence.
For readers drawn to the raw intensity of trauma and survival, or the novels There, There, Gone Girl, The Road, A Little Life. This isn't comfort fiction, but if you've ever carried rage like a flag, worn grief like a second skin, or lashed out when you should've reached- this one's for you.
