Simon's Shadow

C S Jones presents a psychological horror narrative centered on Simon, a young man whose vivid dreams have haunted him since childhood. These nocturnal visions grow darker with age, offering a semblance of control that eventually fractures. The story follows Simon in his early twenties as he enjoys a period of personal happiness alongside his girlfriend and two high school friends, who live together in a small apartment. This tight-knit crew shares a life of hard work and intense socializing, yet the tranquility is short-lived. Secrets from Simon’s past begin to infiltrate his lucid dreams, forcing him to confront memories he had long suppressed. As these fragmented pieces of history snap into place, the reality of his previous life shifts dramatically. The narrative suggests that while the future remains unwritten, the past is an active, watching presence that refuses to stay buried. Jones, an author publishing through Createspace Independent Publishing Platform in 2017, constructs a tale where the supernatural bleeds into domestic life. This book suits readers who enjoy slow-burn psychological dread and stories about repressed trauma manifesting physically. It may not appeal to those seeking fast-paced action or traditional jump scares, as the horror stems from internal revelation rather than external monsters.
