Analog Veil

From the Ruins of Zoe’s Expedition Park, Book 1

De: Themistocles John Politis

Narrado por: AJ Danna

In the ruins of a forgotten amusement park, grief, memory, and madness intertwine, and the veil is thinner here.

When Detective Romulus “Ro” Zinelli is hired to find a missing young woman, the trail leads him to Zoe’s Expedition Park: a decaying world of rusted rides, silent mascots, and something alive beneath the concrete. As Ro searches for the girl, he is drawn deeper into the park’s eerie mythology, and into his own wreckage of guilt, regret, and loss.

Haunted machines, lingering ghosts, and the strange creatures who walk between worlds wait within the park’s gates… but not all of them are willing to let him leave.

Analog Veil is the first novella in the literary horror series From the Ruins of Zoe’s Expedition Park, where nothing stays buried, everything remembers, and the boundaries between worlds wear thin.

This novella contains mature themes and unsettling content that may not be suitable for all listeners, including:

• grief and loss
• alcohol addiction and recovery
• missing persons
• body horror and surreal violence
• psychological and emotional manipulation
• cult activity and mass behavior
• depictions of emotional trauma
• eerie robots, ghosts, and liminal spaces

Listener discretion is advised.

fantastic

A perfect blend of mystery, horror and suspense. This was like nothing I've heard before. I couldn't stop listening. Highly recommend.

As twisty as an X-Files episode, with rougher characters

A bit of Twilight Zone, Dick Tracy, and X-Files thrown together in a pot to stew up an unforgiving unreality affecting it's misdirected occupants. The characters are well crafted and authentically imperfect, with issues by the truckload. Arriving at the mysterious and powerful 1980's themed locale forces them to come to terms with their past and confront obstacles in their future. Narrated splendidly by AJ Danna whose varied voices paint distinctive portraits of each. I rarely re-listen to a story, but there were enough layers and depth herein that a second time through might be even more revealing. [Disclosure: I received this title for free and listened at 2.0x.]

The story

This story was MADE to be listened to.The atmosphere in Analog Veil translates beautifully to audio every moment feels like you’re walking through ruins with headphones on, hearing echoes bounce off empty structures.The pacing is tight, the tension constant, and the sensory descriptions hit harder when heard aloud. It feels like a found recording a lost broadcast a memory decaying in real time Perfect for late-night listening or a solo drive.If you love immersive, eerie audio experiences that feel like psychological slow-burn horror, this is an instant add to library.
