Body Horror & Transgressive
by Caitlín R. Kiernan
Sarah Crowe retreats to rural Rhode Island after a failed relationship, seeking solitude in an old house. There she discovers an unfinished manuscript about the sinister oak tree on the property, written by the home's former tenant—a parapsychologist who may have uncovered something terrible. Kiernan weaves unreliable narration, folklore, and mounting dread into a deeply unsettling gothic.
