A NOVEL BY MICHAEL CUSTOS

WRONG
NORTH

It began beneath the Pacific.
It didn't stay there.

DIVE INTO THE STORY
01 / ON THE SURFACE

NEWPORT, OREGON

A town like
any other.
Almost.

In November 2029, a NOAA engineer calls deep-sea recovery specialist Ezekiel Williams to Newport, Oregon, to assess an anomaly nearly three kilometers beneath the Pacific. His breakthrough drone technology may be the only way to pinpoint what’s down there, examine it up close, and determine whether anything can be recovered.

Far offshore, independent instruments report impossible contradictions. In town, clocks misbehave. Memories disappear. Familiar faces begin to feel terribly unfamiliar.

THE ORDINARY WORLD
IS THE FIRST THING TO GO.
02 / BELOW THE SURFACE

THE CASCADIA REGION

There are depths
we can measure.
And depths we can't.

CASCADIA · SURVEY AREA
2,973 m
ESTIMATED SEAFLOOR DEPTH

A coastal uncanny thriller where empirical certainty gives way to a quieter, more intimate kind of terror.

03 / OPEN THE FILE

Before the descent,
there was Newport.

Before the descent came a morning no one could account for, and a town where ordinary explanations stopped working.
