This dystopia feels intimate and creeps under the skin. - Reedsy Discovery
Shimmer makes you forget-until it takes everything.In New Albion, numbness is survival.In the rain-soaked country of New Albion, forgetting has become a way of life. Shimmer offers brief escape from fear, hunger and grief. It also keeps the population obedient, numbed and watched.
Anouk Walker isn't looking for revolution. She's only trying to survive, one dose at a time. But when a late-night raid tears her closest friend away, survival is no longer enough. Someone she loves is disappearing inside the Midnight Factory.
As Anouk searches for a way to bring him back, she is forced deeper into a world of state violence, institutional control, and impossible choices. Memory is fragile. Loyalty is dangerous. Even hope carries a cost. The more she learns, the clearer it becomes: escape and control are inseparable-and no one walks free without leaving something behind.
A haunting psychological dystopian novel about addiction, oppression, and the price of resisting a system built to break you.1 different editions
