The deliciously dark new thriller from award-winning YA author Josh Silver, perfect for fans of Black Mirror and Holly Jackson.
Welcome to TraumaLand. You are now Jack.
Your story will start in 3... 2... 1...
Eli has been in a near-fatal accident, which has left him with no memory and no emotions. According to his therapist, he suffers from an Overwhelming Emptiness.
Desperate to feel something again, Eli winds up at TraumaLand, an underground club where crowds of emotionally numb party-goers seek a new thrill. Through hyper-real virtual reality simulations, they can experience nightmarish events happening to other people.
But when Eli immerses himself in Jack's story, he starts to suspect there may be a darker - more dangerous - truth to the club.
