A university backpacking trip heads into the wilderness with all ten hikers accounted for. But after a strange EMP during a rainstorm kills their flashlights, the number of participants changes—to one extra. Matt, leading this trip of students and staff, remembers every one of the eleven people now present. There is no obvious interloper. An insidious mystery ensues as Matt attempts to quietly uncover who the extra is and why they’re here masquerading as one of the group. Because one thing is certain: he came here with ten people, and only ten people are going back home.
The Extra will be out through Shortwave Publishing on September 9, 2025. Preorder now in paperback or ebook.
