Description

When Mavis survives a brush with death, she discovers that Hell isn't confined to the afterlife—it's closing in around her in increasingly vicious and bizarre attacks that threaten everything she has left. Haunted by the impossible expectations and soul-crushing judgment of her estranged religious upbringing, Mavis is already fragile when her marriage—the one thing she's fought to preserve—begins to crumble under mysterious supernatural assault. As the attacks escalate from all directions, she must confront not only the terrifying forces tormenting her but also the deeply internalized shame and self-doubt that have followed her since childhood. Bethany C. Morrow delivers a pulse-pounding supernatural horror that explores the psychological devastation of religious trauma while asking whether redemption is possible when you've been taught you're fundamentally unworthy. In this dark, gripping tale, Mavis discovers that survival means fighting not just external horrors, but the demons she's carried within herself all along.
