People are vanishing in a silent scream of loud absence, and nobody seems to care. Except Gem, an interior designer with an eye for the amiss; Croydox, a jaded detective with a vision; and Stipe, the split-brain pataphysicist, who might be the only one who can make sense of it all. Or make it much, much worse.Their lives collide in a story that’s part mystery, part existential puzzle, and entirely unpredictable. As they chase the faintest threads—whispers of a mycelial network, promises of ‘leveling up’, a world split into two—they’re forced to wonder: What does it even mean to disappear? Can you trust a reality that keeps shifting? And why does no one talk about Faroese cuisine?When People Go Plonf is for readers who enjoy stories that stick in your brain like a fungal spore. It’s a novel that’s equal parts philosophical musing, absurdist romp, and the kind of mystery where the real question might be why you ever expected things to make sense in the first place.
