The Silent Glitch - Kevin Chong

In a world that demands you be seen, the ultimate power is disappearing.

Seventeen-year-old Wren Price has spent her life staying off the grid. In her quiet town of Oakhaven, she is a digital anomaly, a girl without a profile. But her silence has caught the attention of Maren Cole, the voice behind Hollow Ground, a podcast phenomenon that turns cold cases into cultural obsessions.

This season, Maren isn't looking for a cold case. She's creating a live one.

Through a "gift" of bugged earbuds, Maren begins to narrate Wren's every move to millions of listeners, turning Wren's private life into a public script. As the podcast's "Hollowers" descend on her home and a beloved teacher is framed for a crime that hasn't happened yet, Wren realizes that Maren isn't just reporting her disappearance, she's architecting her death.

To kill the story, Wren must do the unthinkable: confront the narrator. From the sterile glow of a high-tech surveillance hub to the deep, silent woods of the Pacific Northwest, The Silent Glitch is a high-stakes thriller about the battle for the soul in the digital age.

Can you truly vanish when the whole world is listening?
