Book 1 of The Hollow Signal Series is now available on Kindle. A five-novel sci-fi horror series by Canadian author CJ Hayward — blending cosmic dread, deep-space isolation, and the terrifying question of what happens when something ancient learns everything about you before it takes you.
The Hollow Signal — Book 1 of 5
A deep-space salvage crew intercepts a 200-year-old looping beacon and lands on the planet. They discover the original crew’s bodies are gone — but their voices remain, coming from everywhere. One by one the team starts disappearing, and the sole survivor escapes with a horrifying realization: the thing doesn’t just copy voices. It learns everything inside you before it takes you.

A government recovery team is sent to find the missing salvage crew — and they’re not told about the signal. Halfway through the mission they realize someone in their own team was already on that planet once before and doesn’t remember it. The signal has a reach nobody knew about, and it’s been quietly working on people for years.

Book 3 — The Collected
The survivor resurfaces, having spent years trying to warn anyone who’d listen. He’s found by a shadowy organization that’s known about the signal since it first appeared. Some of them think it can be weaponized. Callum believes they’ve already been compromised.
Book 4 — Origin Frequency
The organization sends a team to the signal’s true point of origin — not the planet, but somewhere much older and much farther. What they find rewrites everything humanity thinks it knows about how life in the universe began, and who was here first.
Book 5 — Silence Protocol
The signal goes quiet. That’s when everyone realizes the collecting phase is over. Whatever it’s been building toward is finally ready. Callum is the only person who understands what it wants — because part of it has been inside him since the beginning.
