Hollowmarch

Some stories should never be played.

Rewind Video is one of the last surviving video stores in Briar Glen. During an ordinary closing shift, an unlabeled black VHS tape appears in the returns bin — no owner, no rental record, no business being there. Then a routine employee training tape starts playing.

Moments later, Eli Mercer and his best friend Cal are trapped inside Hollowmarch: a shifting nightmare of impossible roads, abandoned camps, and forgotten towns, stalked by creatures that don't merely hunt their prey — they study them. Joined by Mae, a mysterious young woman who knows more about Hollowmarch than she remembers, they must survive a world governed by impossible rules and find a way home before it changes them into something that belongs there.

Because Hollowmarch doesn't simply want them dead.

It wants them to fit in.

This audio edition features a dual-voice production: Eli's firsthand account, and the tapes themselves — every orientation reel, training film, and recovered recording delivered in the relentlessly cheerful voice of Rewind Ronnie. When a machine plays a recording in Hollowmarch, you'll hear it the way Eli did.

Every path leads somewhere. Every choice costs something. And every exit is wrong.

HOLLOWMARCH: Book One. Be kind. Rewind.
