“Could not put it down”
“Kept my 11-year-old up reading way past bedtime, and then kept ME up reading it because I had to know what was at the bottom of that tower. The Collector's voice is genuinely unsettling.”

ABOUT
Kaiden hears what other people don't. He always has. He spends his nights with a soldering iron and a pile of broken things, trying to make them work again, because his grandfather told him once that if a thing can be fixed you fix it.
Then a storm knocks the power out across Westview, the dial on the old radio drifts to 1370 kHz, and a voice — calm, polite, kind — says hello. It says his name like it learned it a long time ago.
By morning, Kaiden, his best friends Nora and Malik, and the only adult who believes them are climbing a service road through wet woods toward a transmitter tower the town stopped using in 1989. Because what is on the other end of the signal has been collecting voices for forty years. And tonight, it wants one more.

SIGNAL
From Chapter 18 — The Signal
The room sounds changed first. Kaiden noticed it before anyone else did. The hum of the generators had a voice underneath it. The rain on the high windows had a voice. The slow tick of cooling metal somewhere in the dark had a voice.
“Hello.”
Kaiden's flashlight slipped half an inch in his grip. He caught it. The voice came again. The same word. Same softness. As if whoever was speaking did not want to startle them — yet.
“Hello, Henry.”
Holloway's mouth opened. Then closed. His hand drifted up and touched the side of his own head, very slowly, the way a person touches a bruise to confirm it is still there.
The voice spoke again. This time it was not for Holloway.
“Hello, Kaiden Mercer.”
His name in that voice was the worst sound he had heard all night. Not because the voice was cruel. Because it was kind.

“Stranger Things meets a radio play”
“C.J. Coish has built something that feels like it belongs on a shelf next to Stranger Things and Goosebumps, but with more heart. The ending wrecked me in the best way.”

“Perfect for my middle-schooler”
“My son finished it in two nights and immediately asked when Book 2 comes out. He also asked me to check the radio in the basement. So: that worked.”

“The way Kaiden's friendship with Nora and Malik is written feels real. They argue, they show up anyway. The horror is good but the friendship is what made me cry.”

“Chilling and kind”
“A horror book for kids that respects them. It doesn't flinch and it doesn't talk down. Holloway's choice in Chapter 19 broke me.”

“Slow burn but absolutely worth it. The last three chapters are pure dread. I will never trust a vintage radio again.”
