Wade Harlan has spent his life fixing things that make sense.
A shoulder that hurts. A house that needs wiring. A machine that stops working.
Then his son offers him something different: a new medical technology that can make the pain disappear.
The Gen-3 Thread patch is supposed to be temporary. Safe. Simple. Forty-eight hours at a time.
And at first, it works.
Wade sleeps better. His shoulder stops screaming. The constant aches of getting older begin to fade. For the first time in years, he feels calm.
Too calm.
As Wade's pain disappears, so does something else. The instinct that tells him when something is wrong. The fear that keeps him cautious. The grief he thought he had finally learned to live with.
And when he begins to notice what is happening inside New Meridian, he has to face a terrifying possibility:
What if the technology isn't taking away his pain?
What if it's taking away the part of him that knows he should be afraid?
THREADED is a near-future psychological horror novel about family, technology, grief, and the dangerous price of feeling nothing.
