The Brood (2025)
Rebecca Baum
"It's rare for an author to rise above the sum of their inspirations - rarer still to craft them into something entirely their own. Baum proves yet again she's an alchemist of the highest order. Equal parts psychological thriller and body horror, The Brood is a gripping chimera that crawls under mind and skin alike. Perfect for fans of Misery and The Fly, or anyone who enjoys the macabre with a brain."
