Reality
There is no winning. Only what you become.
Sydney Monroe was America's sweetheart… until one reckless night nearly killed her best friend and destroyed her career. Now disgraced and desperate, she agrees to star in Shut In, a new reality show filmed inside an isolated mansion in the Mojave Desert.
The rules are simple. Six contestants. Six weeks. No escape.
Each contestant is assigned a horror archetype. The Final Girl. The Rebel. The Nerd. The Icon. Play your role well, and you might survive.
But when an innocent ritual goes horribly wrong, the game stops feeling like a game. Cameras move when no one is watching. Instructions appear where they shouldn't. The house seems to know their fears… and their secrets.
Because in this house, you don't just play your part. You become it. And not everyone makes it to the final cut.
This novel includes violence, death, psychological manipulation, confinement, substance abuse references, group coercion, and scenes of emotional and physical distress. It also explores themes of control, loss of autonomy, and survival under extreme conditions. Reader discretion is advised.
