What happens when the perfect influencer hides something far darker than clout addiction?
In the neon-lit world of influencers, perfection is currency — and Blaine is rich in both. Handsome, curated, and flawless, he performs for the algorithm with surgical precision. But behind the ring lights and fake smiles lies something far more sinister. Blaine isn't just pretending to be someone else — he's hiding the monster he really is.
Verified is a blood-soaked satire of fame, identity, and the violent cost of virality. Darkly funny, razor-sharp, and disturbingly real, it's American Psycho for the TikTok generation — and nobody escapes the feed.
Joel Castillo grew up in Queens, New York City, where the shadows of the city fed his fascination with horror and psychological thrillers. A lifelong fan of stories that blur the line between reality and nightmare, he writes with a cinematic edge that blends social satire with chilling suspense.
When he isn't writing, Joel enjoys spending time with his dogs and indulging his love of fried food in all its forms. His creative passions stretch beyond fiction—experimenting with AI-driven projects, exploring trading strategies, and pushing the boundaries of digital storytelling.
Verified is his debut novel, the first in a dark and unsettling series exploring the toxic allure of influencer culture. Joel is currently at work on the sequel, Verified: The Collab.
