The Chalkface Man

De: John Anthony Davis

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

In the quiet town of Hebron, Kansas, things are beginning to disappear—not lost, but unfound. First a cat, then a child, then an old man, each vanishing without a trace from places thick with silence and solitude.History teacher Lloyd Shelby and detective Anya Voss find themselves drawn into a mystery that defies logic. Guided by Imogen Frost, a bookstore owner with a theory about the holes in reality, they discover an ancient, hungry absence haunting their town—a presence that erases what is forgotten, lonely, or quietly broken.To survive, they must learn to fight with stories: specific, loud, and deeply human tales that can mend the thinning fabric of their world. But as the disappearances spread and a figure with a chalk-white face draws closer, they realize that some truths are not just buried in history—they are buried in the margins of existence itself.The Chalk-Faced Man is a haunting, lyrical novel about memory, community, and the fragile power of detail in a world that wants to smooth everything away.
