When the city forgets your name, who remembers you?

In the hidden corners of Meridian City, something strange is happening.
Gravestones are losing their inscriptions. Faces blur in photographs. Entire identities vanish as if they were never there. Inspector Aya Lin is called to investigate – but what she uncovers leads her into the city’s darkest rituals of memory, masks, and erasure.

The Harvest of Faces is a haunting short story set in the Meridian City universe—a blend of urban fantasy, occult horror, and atmospheric mystery. It’s a tale about identity, grief, and what lingers when nothing of us remains.


🌌 Why You’ll Want to Read It

  • Occult Mystery: Rituals, glyphs, and broken masks tie into a larger conspiracy in Meridian.
  • Emotional Depth: Aya Lin must confront not only faceless victims but her own shadows of memory.
  • Atmospheric Writing: Inspired by urban legends, liminal spaces, and dark ambient aesthetics.
  • Connected World: This story links directly to other Meridian tales like The Negative Within and Echoes in the Dark Fiber.

✨ Final Thought

The Harvest of Faces isn’t just a short story — it’s a door into the haunted heart of Meridian City. Step inside, and see what remains when names are taken and faces dissolve.
