Hikikomori: The Red Thread: A haunting sci-fi love story where memory lies—but love remembers everything

By J.B. Halden

She was built from memory. But love is what makes her real. Mira lives alone in a house frozen in time. The clocks lie. The mirrors glitch. She draws the same haunting images--a red thread, a hidden door, a boy she used to know. Then Ren returns. And with him, everything begins to unravel. As the edges of Mira's reality begin to blur, she's drawn into a mystery buried deep within her own mind. The house is failing. The past is resurfacing. And the man he's become might be her only tether to the truth. Hikikomori: The Red Thread is a genre-bending romantic sci-fi novella--the first book in The Red Thread Sequence , a sweeping chronological series exploring love, identity, and memory in a near-future world shaped by artificial intelligence. Perfect for fans of Black Mirror , Before I Fall , and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , this immersive debut blends slow-burn romance with psychological suspense in a world where nothing is quite what it seems. This is Book One of The Red Thread Sequence , a romantic sci-fi thriller series where each entry builds on the last, unfolding a deeper mystery of technology, humanity, and the emotions that bind us. Contains mature themes and sensual content. Recommended for readers 17 and up.
