The Midnight Factory

Shimmer makes you forget—until it takes everything.

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, piece by piece, inside a system designed to make people look away.

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 dark, emotionally charged dystopian novel about addiction, complicity, and the price of resisting a system built to break you.

Perfect for listeners who enjoy intelligent, character-driven dystopian fiction.

Narrated by Simon Jackson.
