MOLTING
By Kathryn Tennison
Michelle Callaway falls in love at first sight with the dilapidated A-frame house in the New Hampshire woods. Wanting a fresh start, she pours herself into making this house her perfect home.
But someone – or something – already nests in that house. Can Michelle force it to leave before she loses her sanctuary, her sanity, and her sense of self?
Molting is a mind-bending psychological tale about the thrill of migrating, the struggle of nesting, and the terror of molting one’s old self and becoming someone new.
PRAISE FOR MOLTING:
A CURRENT BRAM STOKER NOMINEE!
"Kathryn Tennison has written a book that truly hooked me. Molting is tense, leading, and ultimately, one of the most horrifyingly engaging stories that I've read this year. From start to finish, this is incredible storytelling!"—Somer Canon, author of YOU'RE MINE
"Molting is suspenseful, shock-inducing body horror dug right out of a secret room in the basement of an abandoned house, reminiscent of T. Kingfisher's "THE TWISTED ONES" only ten times as spine-chilling. Kathryn Tennison is a unique voice in horror who is now permanently on my Want-To-Read list!"— Jill Girardi, Owner, Kandisha Press
“Gripping and ntense, filled with emotional depth and vivid imagery, this story will linger within you long after the book is closed.” — Daemon Manx, author of The Ojanox series.
"A searing horror debut overflowing with incredible and haunting imagery. This one will make you think twice about your next house renovation." — Gwendolyn Kiste, Four-time Bram Stoker Award-winning author of THE HAUNTING OF VELKWOOD and RELUCTANT IMMORTALS
