The thing that made him invisible made him invincible. Charlie is deaf. Has been his whole life. He lives in a converted van in the Arizona desert, picking up gig work, dodging dusty loners, and trying to figure out what comes after a college degree that opened exactly zero doors. Then he finds Valhalla — a hidden canyon with water, shade, and a silence so complete it feels like the earth is keeping a secret. And he finds Anna — a British van-life influencer with fading hearing and a smile that changes everything. Then the world ends. Not with bombs. Not with plague. With a song. A frequency that shouldn't exist hides inside an '80s pop song and spreads across every radio, every speaker, every signal. Anyone who hears it is taken. Millions surrender to the rhythm — walking until their shoes disintegrate, standing in diners staring at nothing, chasing anyone still free. Charlie can't hear it. That's the only reason he's still human. But Anna can. The Rhythm Is Going to Get You is a post-apocalyptic science fiction romance about what you'd sacrifice for the person you love. For readers who loved the haunted beauty of Station Eleven, the sensory terror of Bird Box, and the slow unraveling of The Age of Miracles — told through a voice you've never heard in post-apocalyptic fiction.
