Endless Shadows

In the age of digital photography, where images are born and die in milliseconds on glowing screens, there remains something primal about film. The click of the shutter, the whir of advancing film, the alchemy of the darkroom—these rituals connect us to something deeper than mere documentation. They connect us to truth.

But what happens when that truth becomes a trap?

Evan Rourke thought he understood shadows. As a crime scene photographer, he'd spent years capturing the aftermath of human darkness, preserving evidence of what people do to one another in moments of rage, desperation, and madness. He knew how light bends around objects, how shadows fall, how to read the story that darkness tells.

He was wrong.

Some shadows aren't cast by light at all. Some shadows cast themselves, reaching across decades to claim what was promised to them long ago. And some towns—towns like Millbrook—never truly empty, no matter how many "For Sale" signs rust in their yards or how thick the dust grows on their windowsills.

This is the story of what happens when a photographer becomes the photographed, when the observer becomes the observed, and when the hunter realizes he's always been the prey.

Welcome to Millbrook, where the shadows remember everything, and nothing ever truly leaves.
