Discover

Welcome to the Glitchfall Continuum—a universe of speculative fiction by Josie Valderrama.
Here, reality flickers. Identity fractures. Power systems shimmer in digital skin. And buried truths rise in strange new forms.

This is where the stories live—short fiction and full-length novels that explore the intersection of trauma, technology, memory, and resistance. Part psychological excavation, part sci-fi thrill ride, the Glitchfall Continuum invites you to question what’s real, what’s simulated… and what’s still worth saving.
