In The Dark

In The Dark is a dark adult literary fiction novel.

Katie has a gift.

At least that's what her father has always called it.

To Katie, her visions are nothing more than a curse, dark fragments of something she can neither understand nor escape. As she struggles to piece together the missing parts of her past, she's haunted by the fear that she's destined to follow the same self-destructive path that consumed her mother.

Katie's depression is like dark molasses, suffocating and thick, coating everything good until she can no longer remember what light feels like. Yet somewhere inside that darkness, she has found an unsettling comfort. It calls to her. Seduces her. At times, it feels almost carnal... even self-indulgent. Drugs, alcohol, and reckless choices don't silence the darkness, they simply make it easier to surrender to it.

Through it all, Theo has always been there.

Her lifelong best friend.

Her safe place.

The only person she's ever trusted with the horrors living inside her mind.

But when the line between friendship and something far more dangerous begins to blur, Katie discovers Theo has been carrying a secret powerful enough to unravel everything she believes about her past. A secret rooted in guilt. One that could destroy the fragile trust they've spent a lifetime building.

As Katie's visions grow darker and the truth inches closer, she finds herself caught between the darkness that's always begged her to stay... and the only man who's ever made her wonder if life is worth fighting for.

Because sometimes the greatest monsters aren't the ones waiting in the dark.

Sometimes they're the secrets kept by the people we love most.

This novel is very provocative and gritty. Some trigger warnings. It is a dark adult novel with hints of LGBTQ and paranormal intrigue.
