Black
by Perin, Quin
Thomas Hunter wakes up from a brutal attack only to discover he is living two lives simultaneously. Every time he falls asleep in one reality, he wakes up in another—one modern and gritty, the other a primitive, plague-ridden world on the brink of total collapse. This is not a comfortable read. It is a disorienting, high-pressure experience that forces you to question what is real and whether the truth is worth the cost of uncovering it. The narrative moves at a relentless pace, constantly pulling the rug out from under you as Thomas grapples with a fractured identity and the weight of two worlds depending on his choices. If you enjoy stories that blur the line between psychological thriller and epic, high-stakes moral struggle, you will find this hard to put down.
