THE NIGHT ARCHIVE

A Supernatural Psychological Horror Novel

By J.L. Goard

The recording was made before she was born. The voice on the tape was hers. And something on the other end was listening.

Some nightmares begin when you close your eyes.

Others begin when you press play.

Sloane Mercer has spent her career restoring forgotten recordings, recovering voices and memories that time has nearly erased.

But when she's hired to digitize a collection of cassette tapes from the abandoned Wrenwood Pediatric Sleep Center, she discovers something that should be impossible.

A recording from 1986.

Two children speaking in the darkness.

And one voice that sounds exactly like Sloane at six years old.

Three years before she was even born.

At first, she searches for a logical explanation. A mislabeled tape. A coincidence. A trick of deteriorating audio.

Then the voice begins calling for its mother.

And upstairs, Sloane's eight-year-old daughter starts waking in the middle of the night.

As Sloane investigates the disturbing history of Wrenwood, she uncovers evidence of secret experiments, missing children, and recordings that were never meant to leave the facility.

Something was captured on those tapes.

Something that doesn't belong to the living.

And it has learned to imitate the voices of the people we love most.

It knows when you're listening.

It knows when you're afraid.

And it knows exactly whose voice will make you answer.

With her daughter increasingly drawn into the nightmare, Sloane must confront the secrets her own mother took to the grave.

But the deeper she searches, the more terrifying the truth becomes.

Because whatever was waiting in the darkness at Wrenwood never truly disappeared.

It was only waiting for someone to press play.
