Description
Omar Hussain’s dazzling debut, A Thousand Natural Shocks, is a mesmerizing meditation on trauma, memory, and identity wrapped in a high-octane thriller.
Dash, a reporter in Monterey, California, is desperate to outrun his past. During the day, he investigates the reemergence of a long-dormant serial killer. At night, he has become entangled with a criminal cult that promises a pill to erase his traumatic memory.
But as Dash begins to lose his memories—and his sense of self—he discovers a dark secret about the cult, one that would horrify its members. And soon he finds himself in a race against time to evade the cult, unveil the killer, and reconcile his past before his own memories fade away ...

Advance Praise
“Omar Hussain’s A Thousand Natural Shocks is the most fun reading experience I’ve had in years. It’s a Tarantino movie in book form. And that doesn’t mean it skimps on the ‘book’ part of the equation: it’s smart, lyrical, penetrating, and literary as hell. But it also comes with 8,000 volts of sizzle. You’ll want to read this before everyone else starts talking about it. Just prepare to have your hair singed.”
