Quantum Ghosts: A Strange Phenomena Book (Strange Phenomena Book Series) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Horror for readers who want to know why.

Quantum Ghosts: A Strange Phenomena Book is the first book in D.R. Ashford's landmark weird fiction series—ten stories that use quantum mechanics as the framework for supernatural horror.

The premise: consciousness doesn't simply end at death. Under specific conditions, it becomes quantum-entangled with locations, people, or states. It exists in superposition—all possible outcomes at once, unable to collapse into a final state. Unable to rest. Unable to release.

This isn't ghost fiction built on folklore or tradition. It's ghost fiction built on physics.

What readers will find inside:

A woman whose grief keeps her dead husband's consciousness quantum-entangled with her own—and the terrible cost of finally letting him go. A child who shares his body and mind with his stillborn twin, two consciousnesses occupying the same quantum state since before birth. A haunted house where a toxic relationship left a quantum scar so deep it distorts reality for every couple who moves in. A ghost hunter team that pushes their investigation too far and encounters something that isn't a ghost at all—a quantum singularity that erases existence itself.

Ten stories. Ten applications of quantum theory to the darkest question science hasn't answered: what happens to consciousness when the body stops?

Quantum Ghosts will appeal to readers of Ted Chiang, Jeff VanderMeer, and Peter Watts—literary weird fiction that earns its horror through ideas rather than gore. Each story follows the series' foundational promise: the supernatural follows rules, and understanding those rules makes it more terrifying, not less.

D.R. Ashford spent four decades as a technology leader before turning to fiction. He brings the same analytical rigor to quantum horror that he once applied to complex systems—and the result is a debut collection that redefines what ghost stories can be.

Strange Phenomena: Temporal Echoes, the second book in the series, is also available.
