Thirteenth
ByPublisher Description
Lovecraftian horror meets kitchen sink drama in this darkly funny tale of toxic families, eldritch body horror and female rage.Katy Porter is the thirteenth child of a thirteenth child in an inbred family of eldritch horrors, and her own eventual metamorphosis will change her into a creature that hungers for her family's flesh.
All Katy wants to do is finish college and go backpacking with her mates, but as her changes creep ever closer and her protector is horribly murdered, that's not looking too likely.
Katy needs allies, but she's stuck with her oldest brother, a drug-addled playboy, and her eyeball-eating cousin, whose idea of protecting her involves abduction, dark rituals, and encouraging her homicidal side.
If anyone is going to survive Katy's transformation, scores need to be settled and fears need to be faced - and Katy is not the only one who needs to face them.
A witty, dark and utterly bewitching eldritch family drama with a Lovecraftian twist set in East Sussex.

About C.M. Rosens
C. M. Rosens is an author of dark, genre-bending speculative fiction, particularly Gothic horror with tentacles and eldritch family drama, with body horror as a recurring theme. She is mainly to be found travelling between the hills of Wales and the plains of England, but loves visiting friends and family all over the world when she can. She has a PhD in a niche area of Medieval British Studies, and these days mostly applies her research skills in fiction rather than academia, which she enjoyed but doesn't miss. Her work is heavily influenced by the histories, mythologies and folklore of places she grew up in and lived as an adult.
