Mori (The Lost Ones Book 1)

Description

A Story in the Tradition of House of Leaves and Donnie Darko

When a group of friends vanish under mysterious circumstances, the only clues about what happened are found in a logbook maintained by a man named Mori, who is suspected of involvement in their disappearance.

Mori’s logbook paints a picture of a solitary man drinking to forget his past and the family he abandoned. One night, he is shaken from his hazy daze by a disembodied voice calling from “across the Cosmic Gulf,” asking him to help find a missing woman.

Obsessed and afraid that he may be losing his grip on reality, Mori’s otherworldly investigation leads him to his captivating neighbor—a radiant woman with a troubled past—and her effortlessly cool, young friends. Each has their own reasons for joining his strange quest, and together they navigate a labyrinth of uncanny phenomena across modern-day Los Angeles.

At the heart of the mystery, they suspect an elusive serial abductor lurks. But what they uncover is something darker still.

Now all of them are gone. And this book is all that’s left.
