Screnshot Dead

They thought screenshots were only proof.
They never expected them to become graves.

What begins as a tool of evidence mutates into something monstrous when a new system weaponizes the ordinary screenshot. Five words are all it takes to spiral the world into collapse: once captured, never erased.

The result is a global unraveling. Cities fracture into living galleries of ash. Towers breathe, streets whisper, reflections scream. Presence itself is devoured, memory ground into silence. The air becomes a tide of faces — friends, strangers, the dead — each demanding proof of existence, each leaving behind only dust.

Riley Vega never asked to lead, but when her face becomes the gallery's obsession, she is dragged into a war against something no one can touch, kill, or outrun. Alongside Leah — a child whose impossible book can rewrite presence — and Dani, Torres, and a dwindling band of survivors, Riley must march into the Ash City, where every building pulses with trapped voices, every shadow conceals another grave, and every core threatens to consume what remains of humanity.

From collapsing malls to signal graves, from Walkers clawing their way through soot to storms of dust that can hollow an entire city in minutes, the survivors fight their way toward a final confrontation. On the edge of the world, with ash spreading everywhere and the Curator's voice thunderous in every silence, presence and extinction collide in a last stand that will decide whether humanity endures as noise — or dissolves forever into graves.

Screenshot Dead is haunting, visceral, and relentless — a novel about refusal in the face of erasure, about voices that will not vanish, and about the fragile, furious beauty of survival when the world itself demands silence.
