My Immortal: Toxic Romantic Horror
A Psychological Supernatural Horror Novel
He saved her life.
Now he won't let her live it.
Jessica Wells was finally ready to leave her controlling fianc when he died saving her in a brutal accident. To the world, Jett Caine is a hero. To Jessica, he is a ghost who never learned how to let go.
When the temperature drops and the scent of rain and crushed cedar fills her apartment, Jessica realizes the truth: Jett didn't move on. He stayed. Watching. Guarding. Claiming what he believes he paid for with his life.
As grief twists into dependence, the haunting grows more violent-and more intimate. The colder the apartment becomes, the harder it is to remember who she was before him. Friends disappear. The outside world fades. And Jessica begins to crave the very presence that is destroying her.
My Immortal is not a traditional ghost story. It is a dark psychological descent into trauma bonding, coercive control, and the terrifying comfort of captivity-where love is indistinguishable from possession, and escape feels like betrayal.
For readers who appreciate horror that lingers long after the final page, My Immortal blends the emotional intimacy of The Haunting of Hill House with the psychological unease of A Head Full of Ghosts, and the gothic intensity of Mexican Gothic-reimagined through the lens of modern trauma and abuse awareness.
This is a story about the ghosts we make, the ones we cling to, and the cost of mistaking control for devotion.
Editorial Reviews
"A suffocating, intimate ghost story that understands abuse is not about violence-it's about control. My Immortal is terrifying because it's honest."
- Early Reader Review
"This isn't a romance. It's a psychological horror novel that weaponizes love, grief, and guilt with surgical precision. Uncomfortable, devastating, and unforgettable."
- ARC Reviewer
"A rare horror novel that refuses to let the supernatural overshadow the trauma it represents. The ghost is frightening-but the dependency is worse."
- Advance Reader
"Dark, immersive, and emotionally brutal. Readers looking for comfort should turn away. Readers looking for truth should not."
- Beta Reader
"What My Immortal does best is refuse easy catharsis. It traps you in the same emotional logic as its protagonist-and that's exactly why it works."
