Cocooned

Cocooned is a psychological horror novel that blurs the line between memory and nightmare. Told through the eyes of Jay Hurnwell, it is both a haunting confession and a descent into shadow, where the echoes of childhood trauma bleed into adulthood and nothing can be trusted... not even memory itself. As Jay navigates a childhood marked by silence, violence, and spectral visitations, he discovers that family demons and otherworldly Watchers are inseparably intertwined. The terror of dark hallways, strange lights, and mocking shadows follows him into the oilfields of Texas, where sleepless nights only sharpen the line between reality and the supernatural. Both memoir-like and dreamlike, Cocooned explores survival, loss, and the slow burn of redemption. More than a horror story, it is an intimate portrait of resilience in the face of fear, written with the raw edge of lived experience and the unsettling chill of the paranormal. For readers of psychological horror, dark memoir, and supernatural fiction, Cocooned delivers an unforgettable descent into the places we hide our deepest scars.
