Description

Winner of the Literary Titan Gold Book Award

“It’s YOUR world.”

A brilliant, heart-breaking, and compulsively readable mystery that tugs on the fabric of reality, and explores what it might mean for humanity if we didn’t have to lose our loved ones…at least not in the way we think.

In 1996 Chicago, twenty-five-year-old Isaac André feels like a stranger in his own life—until the world starts whispering back. The coincidences are too uncanny to ignore, but for now, they’re all happening in his favor.

When he buys his first computer with the money from his VHS rental store job, Isaac enters his first internet chatroom, The Grassy Knoll, dedicated to conspiracy theorists. He wonders: Is anyone else experiencing his shared unease, his constant sense of being watched, a nagging feeling of displacement?

That’s when Isaac (ElectricSheep7) meets the magnetic Noa Gayle (BirdGurl9), a mysterious stranger that shares his love for Terminator movies, Philip K. Dick, and all things sci-fi.

Isaac and Noa’s soul connection feels fated, but as it deepens, so do the secrets between them. Where did she come from? And more importantly, where does she disappear to for weeks on end?

Is he chasing the answers, or are they chasing him?

A spell-binding literary novel, An Old Soul deftly traverses the porous membranes between coincidence and destiny, and dreams and reality, as Isaac and Noa defy the forces of the universe to be together.

An Old Soul is an absolute must-read for fans of Blake Crouch, Kiese Laymon, and Emily St. John Mandel.
