Dead Air by Marcus Vance

At the edge of the millennium, an unauthorized broadcast hijacks Channel 6 in Harlow Creek, Oregon. Soon, the entire town shares the same waking nightmare.

Former investigative journalist Dana Reyes returns to her Pacific Northwest hometown to care for her deteriorating mother. Instead of quiet solace, she finds a community gripped by acute insomnia, mass fugue states, and uncanny visions tracing directly back to an abandoned public access studio.

As Dana investigates the origin of the signal, she uncovers decades-old town corruption and a cosmic malice lurking beneath the frequency. DEAD AIR is an atmospheric, slow-burn horror novel built for lovers of eerie small-town secrets, late-night broadcast dread, and quiet psychological terrors.
