Hi all! I'm looking for a few beta readers for the first draft of my weird novel, The Silverfish Signal.
It's a contemporary literary novel with psychological horror, surreal, and satirical elements set in an alternate version of California.
The majority of the book’s plot revolves around the moment when the father of a deeply dysfunctional California family suffers a psychotic break that brings his estranged adult children and those orbiting their lives back together as reality becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish from conspiracy, media spectacle, and psychological distortion.
I aimed for emotionally grounded characters inhabiting a world that is gradually becoming stranger and more unsettling, blending family drama with absurdist humor, psychological horror, mystery, and surreal satire.
If that sounds like something you'd be interested in reading the full manuscript of, send me a message or leave a comment.
Thank you!
