Tobin's Neon Eyes
A man reads an ancient book that physically and mentally corrupts him.
Jacobs writes about a character named Tobin who discovers an occult book. The text becomes irresistible to him, pulling him into a state of obsession. He senses the tome is wrong but cannot stop reading. The narrative tracks his mental decline as he consumes forbidden knowledge. The line between what is real and what is written in the book disappears for him. This process is described as infectious, affecting both his mind and body. The story focuses on the internal horror of losing one's grip on reality through reading. It does not involve action sequences or external villains. The tension comes from Tobin’s inability to look away from the pages that are destroying him.
Published in February 2025 by Independently Published, this work fits within the contemporary independent horror market. It targets American readers interested in supernatural fiction that explores psychological decay rather than traditional monster hunting narratives.
