"Echoes of Distortion" is a novel that combines Cthulhu-style horror and urban fantasy. It is set in the "Grey Fog City" that is shrouded in rain and fog all year round. Underground in this seemingly ordinary city, sleeps a "distortion core" that can distort reality and pollute life. The lavender tentacles and inhuman whispers it spawns are quietly alienating humans into "touch media" (weird multi-eyed, multi-tentacled monsters), and a few "resonators" have become the only hope against distortion.
Due to the mysterious disappearance of his sister Lin Xi, Interpol Lin Mo persisted in pursuing a strange case that had not been solved for ten years until the "hanging suicide case" in the third prison broke the deadlock - the strange scene of the deceased being hanged by invisible tentacles perfectly coincided with the description of his sister before she disappeared. As the investigation deepened, he discovered that the abandoned basements in the old city west of the city, the strange behavior of serial thieves, and the repeated twisted symbols on the walls all pointed to the same terrifying truth: the "distortion rift" in Gray Mist City was expanding. The disappearance of his sister was not an accident. She may be the key to the "distortion core" and even still live in the depths of darkness.
As the only person who can resonate with the power of aberrations, Lin Mo must not only fight against the emerging aberrations that bullets cannot kill, but also resist the risk of being contaminated, struggling between the choice of "saving his sister" and "saving the city." The novel uses dense horror scenes, weird monster settings, and progressive suspense to reveal the unknown fears hidden under the city. It also explores the perseverance and sinking of human nature in desperate situations. In the Cthulhu-style "indescribable" horror, the core propositions of family love and redemption are intertwined.
