Synopsis
When five long-time friends gather for a weekend retreat at a secluded home in the woods, they anticipate laughter, drinks, and reconnection. However, an unexpected twist awaits them—an otherworldly intelligence crash-landed during a storm and has taken refuge inside their host, Dr. Ben Samuelson.
As the weekend unfolds, strange visions and psychological disturbances begin to spread among the group, heightening paranoia, blurring memories, and unraveling trust.
This sci-fi horror experience intensifies as the entity’s influence expands with each mind it touches, transforming what was meant to be a joyful reunion into a gripping psychological nightmare. The friends find themselves in a desperate fight for identity, survival, and control over reality itself, all while navigating the eerie presence that has infiltrated their circle.
Some doors should never be opened… especially the ones inside you.
Target Audience
The Red Circle is designed for adult readers who appreciate the chilling blend of psychological and sci-fi horror. This novel will resonate with fans of Stephen King, Paul Tremblay, and Jeff VanderMeer—those who relish slow-burn dread, character-driven suspense, and narratives where the true horror lurks within.
Inspiration
The idea for The Red Circle came to me in a dream—a lightning strike carrying something metallic and otherworldly. That brief moment became the spark for the novel, and as the story unfolded, I found pieces of myself in each of the main characters.
