Rick Shepherd built walls for a reason.
After what he did during his military service, he learned to keep people at a distance. Emotion is liability. Connection is weakness. So when he accepts a six-month assignment at an isolated Antarctic facility-no contact, no questions, just daily procedures for something kept in the cells below-it feels like escape.
He isn't prepared for what isolation actually does to a person.
The silence. The routine. The slow erosion of every defense he spent years constructing. Rick finds himself reaching for connection in ways he swore he never would. Needing it. Craving it. Willing to ignore the warning signs just to feel less alone.
The journals he discovers suggest others felt the same way. They all followed the same pattern. They all made the same mistakes.
None of them finished their six months.
Some doors, once opened, can't be closed again.

Jeff Atelier writes psychological horror exploring isolation, manipulation, and the price of human connection. He lives in the midwest with his wife and pets.Containment is his debut novel and the first book in The Containment Trilogy. The Antarctic setting serves as both backdrop and character-a merciless environment that strips away pretense and reveals the raw truth of human nature.Outside of writing, Jeff works in engineering-turning dreams into reality-and pursues photography, capturing moments before they slip away. This unique combination of technical precision and artistic vision informs his approach to crafting psychological horror that feels both grounded and otherworldly.
