The Null Space

by Travis Stecher

In a small town in Massachusetts, Margaret Turie becomes rattled after one of her coworkers suddenly descends into a frightened, fugue state, believing to have died. With no medical explanation for the apparent lobotomy without surgery, Margaret dives into a paranoid obsession, investigating the mystery of the “null space” surrounded by spreading psychosis, mad science, and supernatural forces.

Written by the award-winning author of Dilation and Venthralli, The Null Space is a fast-paced psychological thriller, full of Stecher’s customary twists, turns, and reality-changing reveals.

Content contains strong language and references to self-harm.
