Found Audio

“[A] mysterious work of metafiction… dizzying, arresting and defiantly bold.”
—Laura Pearson, Chicago Tribune

“In his debut, Campbell has written a page-turner, an onion peel of a story surrounding nothing less than the central questions of human existence. The reader is led down a rabbit hole and back out again, confused, afraid, but nevertheless also ever so slightly amused. This is a weird little book full of momentum, intrigue, and weighty ideas to mull over.”
—Publishers Weekly

“N.J. Campbell’s Found Audio is the new Pandora’s Box of weird contemporary fiction… Like VanderMeer’s stunning trilogy [Southern Reach], Campbell captures the darkness of the unknown.”
—Nick Sweeney, Heavy Feather Review

“The novel is genius… simple, spare, and amazingly effective.”
—Shana Creaney, Foreword Reviews

“Found Audio by N.J. Campbell is a Russian nesting doll of a novel with layers of mystery, mythology, madness, and suspense… The novel is a brilliant work of metafiction, and the story within the story is as irresistible as gossip from a friend of a friend.”
—Many Shunnarah, Pank Magazine

“A wicked metafictional mystery [and] dizzying epistolary novel about dreams, perception, and the human psyche.”
—Kirkus Reviews

“Found Audio is steeped in a wonderfully creepy atmosphere that sucks the reader in and doesn’t let go for the duration of the weird, dark, dreamlike ride… If you like novels that keep you glued to the pages and constantly rethinking where the story, the main character, and even reality are going next, then make sure you don’t skip this one.”
—Gabino Iglesias, LitReactor

“Brilliant. In an age of instant information access, Found Audio is a clever reminder that some places, experiences, and mysteries must be earned through sweat, blood, and fear.”
—Adam Morgan, Electric Literature

“Amid the static of contemporary literature can be heard blips of fiction-future in N.J. Campbell’s defiantly bold Found Audio.”
—Steve Erickson, author of Zeroville
