Fractureglass

Synopsis

Fractureglass A Subliminal Horror Novella By Dustin Groves Thorne Virelli is no ordinary killer—he’s the subject of a radical psychological experiment known as Cognitive Reconstruction Therapy. Strapped to a chair in a sterile chamber, forced to confront the shattered memories of his crimes, Thorne stares endlessly into a mirror that never quite reflects the same man twice. At first, it’s just glitches in the text. A line that reads differently the second time you glance. A phrase that wasn’t there before. A whisper in the margins. But something is watching. And it’s not just Thorne. As his mind fractures, a subliminal voice begins to bleed through—quiet, curious, and unnervingly aware of you. With every page, it grows stronger, slipping past Thorne’s thoughts to speak directly to the one fueling the story’s momentum: the reader. What begins as a psychological deep-dive becomes a parasitic possession of narrative itself. The mirror cracks. The fourth wall shatters. And the truth is revealed—not about Thorne, but about you. You didn’t just watch. You helped. And the final page delivers a message only you were meant to see: “You are ready now. Your turn.”
