The Tank Engine Thomas

Static Bride

Book 1 in the planned trilogy The Girl Who Sang to the Engine. In a parallel reality where humanity thrives on Ether-a mysterious energy derived from the alien element Anonium-progress comes at a hidden cost. Unbeknownst to society, their reliance on Ether awakens a cosmic Eldritch machine known only as the Engine, whose cryptic motives remain shrouded in static and whispers. Amid this unraveling world, two high school girls emerge as unlikely players in a cosmic game they don't yet understand. Rachel Harper, captain of her basketball team, discovers she has the ability to manipulate time-but each use leaves behind faint traces of static, distorting her reflection and eroding her sense of self. Her best friend, Emily Voss , foresees fragments of alternate lives-all ending tragically-and fears she's next. Together, they stumble upon clues linking their fates to the Engine, though neither understands why. Haunted P.I.A. agent Elijah Carter arrives in Corwood, Tennessee, tasked with investigating reports of anomalies tied to the town's new reactor. A seasoned tracker with the rare ability to see residual echoes of paranormal events, Elijah quickly realizes he's dealing with something far beyond his usual assignments. Meanwhile, drug lord Dezerea Hernandez floods the streets with Gloom, a substance transforming users into static-ridden husks called Hollows to flush out a threat to humanity. As Rachel grapples with her growing bond to the Engine, she risks losing herself to its cold logic. Meanwhile, Emily battles insomnia and visions of her own deaths, desperate to break free from fate's cruel grip. With the Engine's awakening imminent, humanity stands on the brink of collapse-or rebirth. But can two teenage girls rewrite fate before time runs out? Warning: This book is a Meta Cosmic Horror Trilogy, contains violence, psychologically disturbing images, heavy foreshadowing, red herrings, fourth wall breaks.

Black Tide: Curse of the Leviathan's Heart

The Son of a Legend. The Key to a Curse. Thomas Vance has spent his life overshadowed by the legacy of his father, Edward Vance—the fearsome pirate of the Black Tide. Fifteen years ago, Edward disappeared into infamy, vanishing along with the Leviathan’s Heart, a fabled relic said to command the seas themselves. But his theft came at a cost: a devastating curse that condemned him and his crew to an eternal, watery damnation. Now, that curse is rising once more—and it’s coming for his son. When the enigmatic and resourceful Celeste warns Thomas that the dreaded Blackbeard is hunting him, he discovers that his bloodline holds the key to shattering the curse that has plagued his family. To save himself, and prevent the wrath of the Leviathan’s Heart from engulfing the seas in chaos, Thomas must confront the dark legacy his father left behind. Joined by the fiercely loyal Jonah and guided by Celeste, Thomas embarks on a perilous voyage to Tortuga—a lawless stronghold of pirates and rogues. There, they must seek out Jack Wren, a drunken relic of piracy’s golden age, who alone knows how to navigate the Devil’s Spine—a cursed expanse of sea shrouded in whispers of death and madness. It’s there, amidst treacherous waters and ghostly legends, that the Sovereign’s Fury vanished, along with the answers Thomas seeks. But the seas hold deeper dangers. To break the curse, unravel the mystery of his father’s fate, and destroy the Leviathan’s Heart, Thomas will face relentless pirate captains, the vengeance of the ocean’s fury, and the haunting specter of Edward Vance himself. Caught between the past and an uncertain future, Thomas must rise beyond his lineage—or sink beneath it. Destiny calls. The legend begins. Love this story? Rate and comment and let N. J.
