Description

A hallucinatory psychological horror for Gen Z readers who loved Maeve Fly by C.J. Leede and The September House by Carissa Orlando, following a young man spiraling through a surreal, fractured Los Angeles.

Theo Gray is running out of time.

Desperate for a cure to his terminal illness, Theo convinces his friends to journey with him to Los Angeles—a city as chaotic and fractured as his mind. Haunted by the voices in his head and the devil perched on his shoulder, Theo battles a growing urge to smash, bash, and crash anything blocking his path to survival.

But as reality frays and his grip on morality slips, Theo must confront the darkest corners of his psyche before everything—and everyone—falls apart.

A wild, mind-bending ride through mental health, friendship, and the chaos of a quarter-life crisis, this novel channels the terrifying energy of Stephen King’s IT with a fresh, Gen Z pulse.

This story messes with you. It’s a hard read but not in a bad way. It twists you up and keeps you reading. It sticks with you and the characters are so well written that they are memorable.

I hope people find this book.

Thanks to NetGallery and The Publisher for his Arc in exchange for my honest review.

Something on Your Mind was such a weird, tense, and honestly really compelling read. It has this creepy, off-kilter vibe that makes everything feel a little unstable in a way that totally works.

I really liked the atmosphere and the way the story keeps you uneasy without giving too much away too soon. The writing felt bold and a little chaotic, but in a good way, and I thought that matched the story really well.

If you like horror that’s more eerie and mind-bendy than straight-up gory, this is definitely worth checking out.
