The Cadaver Beast: The Mothroot Cycle: Book One

By J J Mourner

Some monsters are born. Others are built from grief, blood, and memory.

Bren works in the morgue-silent, sarcastic, barely holding it together. He tracks the things that don't stay dead. It's a secret life, messy and violent, but it made sense... until the bodies started whispering back.

When the forums light up with sightings of something impossible - a creature made of bone, sorrow, and sap - Bren knows it's not just another hunt. This one feels personal. Familiar. Like chasing a shadow with his own face.

There's something wrong in the roots of the city.
And whatever the Cadaver Beast is... it's hungry.

As his past bleeds into the present and the curse inside him begins to bloom, Bren must choose: become the monster, or burn it all down.

Brutal. Haunting. Surreal.
A body horror descent into identity, transformation, and what it means to survive the unspeakable.
