In the year 2040, a mysterious creature is unleashed at the world’s biggest music festival…

– Jessica Scurlock, Author of the Pretty Lies Series & Pulse Beta Reader
Pulse is a plot-driven multi-POV dystopian sci-fi horror thriller set in 2040, centered around a corporation, a creature, and a music festival.

The book is already being praised for its fantastic use of horror, engaging world-building, and genre-bending approach utilizing some screenplay-like formatting. This is the first entry in a new series with the sequel well underway.
B.A. Bellec writes with a unique, modern, minimalistic voice. He is the author of Someone’s Story, his award-winning debut novel called a masterpiece by multiple reviewers. Never afraid of a challenge, Bellec switched genres to bring you this dark vision that simmered in his mind for years.

Pulse
Book Two
by B.A. Bellec
Genre: Post-Apocalyptic SciFi Horror
The fate of humanity rests in the
hands of a few.
Pulse: Book Two is the
conclusion of B.A. Bellec’s dystopian sci-fi horror duology. This
time around we are tapping into iconic stories like The
Stand, Station Eleven, Cloud Atlas, Contact,
and The Road to add elite and ambitious scale. Our
chaotic journey picks up moments after the first book ends with
action from the second you start turning the pages, but if you
thought you knew where the story was going, leave your expectations
at the door and ask yourself this one question: how would an
autonomous droid defeat a monster?
Someone’s Story
by B.A. Bellec
Genre: YA Coming of Age
In his literary debut, B.A. Bellec
writes an endearing coming-of-age tale about a group of weirdos that
find and save each other from the dark depths of their minds.
Someone’s Story is literally Someone’s story, as in a
first-person narrative of a teenager that calls himself Someone. As
he struggles to find a new footing in a new space, we encounter the
many ups and downs of modern teenage life, the difficulties that
adjusting to adult feelings brings, and a few tear-jerking surprises
along the way.
Littered with music, mental health,
friendship, loss, meditation, advice, pop culture, and even inspiring
an EP, there is so much nostalgia, inspiration, and depth here it is
hard to absorb it all. Cozy up somewhere warm and enjoy!

Bryan “B.A.” Bellec’s debut novel, Someone’s Story, won the Reader Views Reviewer’s Choice Literary Award for Young Adult Book of the Year. Someone’s Story is a coming-of-age novel about teen mental health. One of the aspects that makes Bellec’s projects unique is he includes musicians in his novels and then he actually produces the songs as his book goes through the editing stages. You can find that music on his YouTube channel. His second novel, Pulse, was released in 2021 and has been receiving strong reviews. That novel is a genre flip with dark dystopian sci-fi horror peppering the pages. Pulse is the start of a new fictional universe Bellec will write in for years to come!
