Welcome to the world of J.S. Black
J.S. Black is the pen name of a European author with a lifelong fascination for the unknown. Writing from a quiet town not unlike Pinewood, Black conjures up atmospheric fiction where the ordinary brushes against the uncanny. With a background in folklore, paranormal investigation, and a deep interest in quantum theory, his stories blend emotional resonance with speculative horror.
His debut novel, The Shimmer, asks what happens when the natural order starts to fracture — and something is watching from the other side.
When not writing, J.S. Black enjoys time with his family, long forest walks, and the occasional strategic escape from his mother-in-law.

Beneath the ancient pines of Miller’s Woods, something impossible is waking up…
When Jake Stenner thought his day couldn’t get any worse after getting a flat tire, he couldn’t have been more wrong. Taking a shortcut through the woods might have been his worst decision yet—and it’s a choice that changes everything.
Together with his sister Jill, Jake is thrust into a race against time to uncover what really happened that day, before whatever he found in the woods consumes his family…or the entire town.
Has Jake stumbled upon something far greater—and more dangerous—than he could ever imagine?
Atmospheric, haunting, and impossible to put down, The Shimmer will make you question what’s real… and what should have stayed hidden.
