author, illustrator, and demon prince
Hello there! My name is Simon Shadows, and I'm a trans and nonbinary author and artist specializing in fantasy, horror, and juicy queer romance.
I've published one short horror story collection called Overwhelm, and I'm hard at work on my debut novel Snowlight! I also make cute and spooky stickers, and write a monthly newsletter about everything I'm up to.
I do not use generative AI in any way. ♡ I reject techno-authoritarianism and systems of domination. I believe all beings (human and otherwise) have a right to exist, and that we are all connected.
Land back. Fight fascism. Hold onto the ones you love, and help build a better world.

OVERWHELM is a collection of 5 short, illustrated horror stories, the debut release from queer and trans author SIMON SHADOWS! Spanning genres from hard science fiction to creepypasta-inspired horror to alternate-historical fantasy, OVERWHELM asks the question of what will happen when characters come into contact with forces much larger than themselves. Will our characters be subsumed or transformed?
Bookstores and libraries: Overwhelm is available on Ingram Spark, OverDrive, and many other formats! Find more info by clicking "READ NOW."

It's called Snowlight, and it's a rivals-to-lovers story about magical gay trans dudes who have to go on a journey to figure out why all the deer are dying.
Current status: I am in the thick of writing the first draft, and I'm hoping to get it to my editor in the fall!
I am very roughly estimating a release date of early 2027. Sign up for my newsletter below to keep in the loop about publishing and release information.
