Bad Wiring is a dark, gritty thriller that blends urban horror with the lasting psychological damage of war. It follows Mutt, a veteran who survived combat only to return home to a country that has quietly moved on without him.

The streets are familiar, but something is wrong. People are going missing. Doors are left open. Entire lives vanish without noise or explanation. No one wants to talk about it, and no one is asking questions. That suits the system just fine.

Mutt doesn’t have that luxury.

Armed with little more than a blade, a fractured past, and instincts forged under fire, he begins pulling at threads others are desperate to ignore. What he finds isn’t just criminal neglect or urban decay, but something far darker — a presence that feeds on isolation, trauma, and the people society has already written off.

Bad Wiring explores the thin line between trauma and terror, asking whether the monsters we fear are external threats or the result of what’s left behind when soldiers come home and are forgotten. The story keeps its horror grounded and intimate, rooted in estates, stairwells, and quiet streets rather than spectacle.

This is not a superhero story. There’s no backup, no safety net, and no clean victories. Just one man pushing forward because stopping isn’t an option.

Perfect for readers who enjoy gritty thrillers, urban horror, and veteran-led stories that refuse to sanitise the cost of survival, Bad Wiring is dark, unforgiving, and deliberately uncomfortable.
