3rd Place Winner in the Suspense Category - Canadian Book Library 2026 Awards
A lonely farmer stumbles through life after the brutal murder of their only child. That is, if you can even call it life. There’s nothing left to live for save for a pitiful garden, a small herd of goats, and grainy memories captured on VHS tapes.
But there’s something else. A shadowy presence that lurks just out of sight and whispers into the mind of the farmer. It wants something. Something awful. And if the farmer gives in to these demands… Well, nothing good can come of it, no matter how much the grieving parent wants retribution for what happened that fateful night.
Poetic and tragic, this is a story about life, death, and all the suffering in between. “I Spit On Your Grave” meets “The Tracey Fragments” and “Ghost Eaters” in this gruesome, psychedelic, folk horror story by Stephanie Anne.
