Description
In a world where grief is forbidden and purged from the mind, Lieutenant Dev Singh dutifully records the memories of those struck with incurable depression. By day, he serves the Bureau, erasing the minds of those deemed unproductive. But at night, hidden in the dark, Dev secretly writes down the special moments shared with him - the small laughter of a toddler, the stillness of a late afternoon. As the Bureau discovers Dev's secret journal, he is sent to a sanatorium to heal. There, he embarks on a nightmarish descent from sadness to madness. The Collector is a dystopian horror novel that explores the consequences of erasing emotions and the true cost of a society that values productivity above all else. In this gripping tale, Dev's memories become his only solace in a world that seeks to purge him of his humanity.
