Nowhere to Hide
A contemporary horror novel about survival against an unseen threat
The narrative tracks Nancy King as her orderly life collapses into chaos. She moves from flirtatious moments with an EMT to fleeing violent wanderers and a cannibalistic neighbor. The story emphasizes the loss of control and the erosion of daily routines like sleeping or cooking. Tobin uses these small disruptions to build a sense of pervasive dread. The plot does not explain the source of the attacks, keeping the focus on Nancy’s immediate reactions and physical endurance. This approach creates a claustrophobic atmosphere where every moment is potentially fatal.
Published in 2014 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, this work sits within the modern independent horror market. It reflects a period where self-publishing allowed for niche supernatural fiction to reach audiences without traditional gatekeepers. The setting is contemporary American urban life.
