Marrow
Some houses don't keep secrets. They trap them.
When Ava Collins receives a call from a stranger claiming she's inherited a sprawling estate in a town she's never heard of, she chalks it up to a clerical mistake. But the house is real. So is the town of Marrow-a quaint, pristine community with charm to spare and something deeply, unnervingly wrong beneath the surface.
Joined by her partner Mara, Ava embarks on a road trip to claim the property, hoping for a quick sale and a clean exit. But from the moment they arrive, nothing feels right. The town's residents are too friendly. The smiles linger too long. And the house? It remembers her-even if she doesn't remember it.
As the days pass, Ava's buried memories begin to surface-fragments of trauma, shadowed by something older and hungrier than she ever imagined. The deeper she explores Marrow's secrets, the harder it becomes to tell what's real, what's manipulation, and what was waiting for her all along.
Dark, haunting, and emotionally visceral, Marrow is a psychological horror novel about surviving the past, confronting buried truths, and the terrifying cost of finally coming home.
