I am currently working on a Psychological Horror entitled Go Back to Sleep. This is the third time that I am rewriting it; this time I'm re-hauling it completely. Below is the pitch (what you would read on the back of the book, if it were published.)

Penelope
finds herself thrown into a world that she cannot remember. She feels as if she
is seeing the world all at once, like a baby opening its eyes for the first
time. Every experience is new and frightening. She is soon to discover the
presence of strange creatures that seem to be after one thing: Penelope. Her
mind fills with questions that it cannot answer. The answers lay in the hands
of Jacob, a man who saved Penelope’s life the first time they met. He tells her
that they are survivors in this world full of monstrous creatures who have
begun to take over the world. How the creatures got here is not important; the
fact that they take over your mind is. The creatures need to only know of your
presence in order to get into your mind and slowly take over it. Penelope finds
the truth hard to grasp when the creatures can make you believe anything. She
finds herself slowly falling for the man named Jacob; she knows that he is her
only salvation in a world falling apart.
When
an attack on the creatures goes awry, Penelope finds herself stripped away from
Jacob, trapped by the creatures, and desperate to find a way out. Jacob warned
her about this moment; the moment when she would be in the hands of the
creatures. Her only peace of mind is when she finds another girl who seems
unaffected by the creature’s mind control. The urge to fight the creatures
grows every day, but Penelope knows she must wait. Wait for the moment to
escape. But as each day passes, she can feel her mind slowly slipping away from
her. It won’t be long until she becomes one of them…one of the creature-minds.
