STATIC BELOW, THE

In the middle of a citywide blackout beneath modern-day Detroit, former military investigator Ethan Cole hears the impossible: His dead wife calling his name through static. At first, it seems like mass hysteria. People across America begin hearing voices through radios, televisions, phones—even silence itself. Some descend into madness. Some vanish underground. Others become violent after hearing whispers meant only for them. As panic spreads, Ethan teams up with investigative journalist Maya Bennett to uncover the truth behind a classified Cold War project known as JANUS. What they discover beneath the city is far worse than any government experiment. Something ancient is buried deep below the earth. Something listening. As civilization collapses into fear and paranoia, Ethan must confront his own grief, the mystery surrounding his wife’s death, and a terrifying intelligence that learns human emotion through suffering. But the deeper they go underground, the more horrifying the truth becomes: The signal was never created by humans. And it has been waiting beneath us for a very long time.
