In the rain-soaked depths of Gravesend, death is no longer final.
Private investigator Calder Voss survives by finding things the city wants forgotten—missing people, broken memories, and quiet lies buried beneath layers of arcane technology. But when a crimson envelope arrives bearing a single message—
She died twice. Find out why.
—Calder is pulled into a conspiracy far older and more dangerous than murder.
Beneath the neon glow of Gravesend lies the Grid: a hidden system capable of rewriting reality itself. Death can be corrected. Memories edited. Lives optimized, erased, or replaced.
And Calder?
He’s something the system can’t fix.
As the city begins to fracture under the weight of its own hidden machinery, Calder uncovers a terrifying truth: the world around him has been rewritten countless times before—and something deep within the system is still watching.
Dead. Twice. is a noir arcane-punk novella about memory, identity, and the cost of perfection.
