Omschrijving

In a world that is a constant, agonizing assault of sound, one man discovers a silence so perfect, it will consume him.

Leo lives in a prison of noise. For him, the hum of a refrigerator is a drill in his teeth; a distant siren, a hot needle in his brain. Desperate for relief, he stumbles upon a set of antique wax cylinders in a dusty shop. The old man claims they don't play what was, but what isn't.

When Leo listens, he finds not the scratchy hiss of age, but a perfect, profound silence. It's a cool balm on his raw nerves, a void that drinks the pain of the world. It's the peace he has been searching for his entire life. He becomes an addict, and the silence is his drug.

But this silence is not an absence. It is a presence. A sentient, ancient force that has noticed him. It begins to court him, muting the world in fleeting, terrifying moments—a laugh cut off, a voice snipped in mid-sentence. It offers him gifts, proving its devotion in increasingly permanent ways.

Leo is not just an addict; he is prey in a seductive relationship with a cosmic predator. The silence promises an end to all pain, an eternal embrace. But this ultimate peace comes with a terrifying price: the erasure of everything he is.

A masterful blend of psychological terror and cosmic horror, The Echo in the Void is a chilling exploration of addiction, the seduction of oblivion, and the terrifying price of perfect peace.
