pick(2018) A woman with multiple chronic illnesses and her husband/caretaker rent a vacation home in the Maine woods for a well-deserved escape. But something is in the woods ...
The buildup here was a more leisurely than I'd have liked. But the payoff is considerable, and the metaphor of chronic illness as monster is rich for exploration.

pickWell this was something I didn't expect!
This has got to be one of the bloodiest and strangest love stories I've ever read. I know it's horror, but it's totally a love story.
This book focuses on Kate who has chronic pain and pretty well ALL the autoimmune diseases, her devoted and loving husband who lives for her, the adorable Buttons and the creature who lurks in the night. Unsettling in the best way.

pickCreature by Hunter Shea is a gut-punch of a novel. It absolutely broke me. It also terrified me for a number of reasons. It is an incredible read that is going to stick with me for a very long time.

pickA horror story, a love story. Kate and Andrew go to Maine to spend a summer by a lake, and try to enjoy life while Kate is suffering from a debilitating disease. Their stay is far from peaceful as they are terrorized by something in the woods. It‘s a slow, suspenseful transition from the horror of the disease to the horror outside, and Shea pulls it off masterfully. Make sure you read the Afterword for one more emotional punch.
