Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

A classified medical case file. Eight deaths. One pathologist. No pathogen.It moves through the most mundane of human gestures.A handshake. A comforting touch on the shoulder. The heel of a palm pressed flat to a stranger's chest during resuscitation.Seven deaths in ten weeks. Four in the same metropolitan area. One four hundred miles away. One on a transatlantic flight. All ruled stress-induced cardiomyopathy. All carrying the same deep, hand-shaped contusion centered over the sternum. Noted. Photographed. Filed under natural causes.CREEP is a medical horror novella presented as a classified case file - autopsy reports, forensic photographs, witness composites, and an epidemiological contact chain that shouldn't be possible. The file has been reviewed. The file has been closed.Every explanation is correct. Every explanation is wrong.You will see what you believe. You will believe what you see.The heart forgets how to beat. And we call it natural.A classified medical case file. Eight deaths. One pathologist.
