🌒Where Time Can't Exist: A Time-Bending Horror Series

 

A Journey Through Burrington 🕯

Welcome, traveler. The fog curls along the streets again. The lantern you carry trembles with each footfall. Burrington is awake tonight, and it remembers.

Perhaps it has remembered you all along.

I am the Storyteller. I have walked these streets long before you arrived, and I will walk them with you until the town decides it has had enough of our presence. Step lightly, and keep your lantern close. For once you cross the threshold of Burrington, the town does not easily release its visitors.

The Where Time Can’t Exist series is a layered speculative fiction universe told across novels, short stories, and companion works - reconstructing the history of a town removed from time and the widening fracture it left behind. 

All novels and short stories are available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobel, Kobo, Fable, Indigo, Apple Books, select libraries and more. So that you can enter Burrington anywhere you'd like, at the right price for you.

Come. We begin in the square.


📚The Town Square: The Main Novels

The center of Burrington is deceptively quiet. Buildings lean as if tired of holding their own weight. Windows hold dust and shadow, yet hint at lives repeating just beyond sight.

It is here the central record of the town begins.

Until Time Remembers

Some towns vanish from maps. Burrington vanished from time itself.

Beck Escarra, an ambitious filmmaker searching for her breakthrough, follows whispers of a place erased from memory and trapped in another century. Curiosity becomes obsession and leads her into Burrington’s endless loop of 1827, where grief repeats and a massacre refuses burial.

The deeper she searches, the tighter the curse coils. Available here: Until Time Remembers

The Day That Broke Time

Beck believed she escaped Burrington. She believed its horrors could remain contained in story.

But the curse has begun to widen.

Two centuries after the massacre, time fractures beyond the town. Seasons shift. The dead stir. Amber, bound by blood to Burrington, begins seeing ghosts as reality bends around her. Guided by Frank Harlow, she discovers the breach is not random.

It is evolving. Available here: The Day That Broke Time


🌳Orchard Road: Burrington’s Past

Step from the square along the skeletal trees. The orchard remembers what the town tries to forget.

The Withering Orchard

In 1819 Burrington, Anabeth’s past begins returning through the trees; stolen memory, buried journals, and a presence watching from the branches. The orchard does not rot. It remembers.

This early tale traces threads leading toward the first novel. Available here: The Withering Orchard

🏛The Founding Mayor

Before Burrington, there was Silas Glaston.

Ambitious, privileged, and certain of his destiny, Silas prepares to found a settlement shaped to his will. Narrated in his own voice, this chilling account reveals the mind that will build a town defying the natural order.

The seeds of Burrington are sown here. Available here: The Founding Mayor


🎃The Halloween Streets: The Hollowed Hours

On October 31, 1826, Burrington does not sleep.

Children vanish. Spirits roam. The dead reclaim their streets.

The Hollowed Hours gathers five interwoven tales from a single night when the town’s curse breathes openly - through haunted houses, ancient forces, and bargains made beyond death.

Enter Burrington on the night it remembers everything. Available here: The Hollowed Hours

More fractures remain to spread.

The town is not finished.


🖋A Final Whisper

The lantern flickers. You may feel the cold breath of the town against your neck. Burrington does not always release its visitors unchanged.

Yet there is meaning in remembering what was removed.

You are welcome to wander its streets, read its letters, and step carefully across its years.

But remember:

The town remembers you, too.
And it waits.

- The Storyteller of Burrington
