Synopsis
Some records preserve the past. Others refuse to let it go.
In The Wurlitzer: A Record of Absence, the strange legacy surrounding Jake’s rare wartime Wurlitzer continues—but this time, what matters may be as much about what is missing as what can be heard.
The old jukebox has never behaved quite like an ordinary machine. Its unexplained selections, its connection to people and memories that should have been lost to time, and the history left behind by Jake’s father have already forced Jake to reconsider what he believes about the boundary between memory and presence. Yet the more carefully he tries to understand the Wurlitzer, the less willing it seems to provide simple answers.
As Jake, Marty, and those closest to the bar examine old records, mechanical possibilities, and fragments from the past, each discovery raises another question. Is the Wurlitzer responding to something beyond explanation, or are people giving meaning to coincidences because they need that meaning to be there?
Jake has learned that evidence matters. So does restraint. Not every mystery should be turned into a ghost story, and not every unexplained event is proof of the impossible. But there are moments when rational explanations leave something behind—something small, persistent, and difficult to dismiss.
A Record of Absence continues the quiet supernatural mystery of The Wurlitzer, a series built around an extraordinary jukebox, an old Seattle building, the people drawn into its history, and the records that sometimes seem to know more than they should.
Rather than relying on conventional horror, the story unfolds as a slow-burning mystery of memory, inheritance, friendship, loss, and the physical objects through which the past remains connected to the present. At its center stands the Wurlitzer itself: wood, glass, wiring, records, and machinery—beautiful, temperamental, explicable in almost every respect.
Almost.
For readers who enjoy atmospheric supernatural fiction, historical mysteries, old music, vintage machines, and stories in which the unexplained is allowed to remain unexplained, The Wurlitzer: A Record of Absence asks a deceptively simple question:
When someone is gone, what does it mean when something they left behind still seems to remember?
