Chad (Paperback)

Paperback. Welcome to the Boomer Dungeon. Mind the haunted tech.In the crumbling heart of a dying strip mall, seventeen-year-old Chad livestreams his ironic Gen Z existence to a Discord full of meme-gremlins and podcast weirdos. His domain? A decaying RadioShack-now rebranded as "TechShack"-where shelves of obsolete electronics hum with more than just static.Chad thought he was chasing content: ghost stories, cursed gadgets, retro vibes for clout. But when a flicker of Morse code crackles through a dusty CB radio and an ancient CRT flashes a cryptic "HI," the joke starts to crack. Something is calling. Something analog. Something real.As the signals intensify, Chad is drawn into a strange alliance with Jason, the grumpy, fanny-pack-wearing tech relic who runs the store, and Jennifer, a sharp-tongued paranormal podcaster with an EMF meter and a taste for the uncanny. Together, they uncover forgotten radio frequencies, haunted Tamagotchis, and maybe even a portal bleeding through the circuits of long-dead tech.Chad is a heartfelt, hilarious, and haunting novelette from the world of The Last TechShack, part of the Coaxial Drift series. It's about growing up in the ruins of yesterday's future, finding meaning between memes and memory, and becoming the kind of person who can fix things-even when everything feels broken.Perfect for fans of: Stranger Things meets ClerksRetro tech nostalgia with a paranormal twistGen Z voice with heart, sarcasm, and depthFound family stories set in places no one notices anymoreCome for the memes. Stay for the ghosts.The signal is waiting. Will you tune in? This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
