Shutterbox, Volume 1: Volume 1

Rikki Simons presents a narrative where Megan Amano navigates two distinct worlds. By day, she attends college in Santa Monica, California. By night, her dreams transport her to Meridian University, a traditional realm for spirits preparing for rebirth into the living world. This dual existence allows Simons to explore the boundary between the mundane and the supernatural through the lens of a young woman who remains alive while participating in this afterlife education. The plot intensifies when Megan peers through her camera lens at Meridian University. She discovers a mystery so deep that it forces her to question her own existence. This discovery initiates a personal search for answers, shifting the story from simple dream logic to a psychological investigation. The work draws on traditions of spirit education and reincarnation, grounding the supernatural elements in a structured academic setting within the afterlife. This book suits readers interested in supernatural fiction that blends daily college life with ghostly realms. It appeals to those who enjoy stories about identity and perception. Readers seeking fast-paced action or traditional horror gore may find the tone too introspective. The narrative relies on Megan’s internal journey rather than external threats, making it a specific choice for fans of atmospheric, character-driven supernatural tales.
