Description
In 1899, Sonia Wilson—an out-of-work scientific illustrator—accepts a position at a secluded North Carolina manor, only to find that Dr. Halder’s insect research is entangled with something far darker than mere specimens. As unsettling animal behavior, local legends, and the disappearance of a predecessor close in, Sonia must navigate a house of secrets and a woods that seems to watch back. With unlikely allies and Kingfisher’s signature blend of gothic dread and sharp, dark humor, the story builds toward a confrontation with parasitic horrors and the human cost of obsession. Equal parts suspense and body-horror, this is a chilling tale about curiosity, complicity, and the thin line between discovery and devouring.
