Nest

A Legacy Etched in Flesh. A House That Remembers. A Parasite That Feeds on Memory.

When Iris Hale returns to her childhood home to care for her dying mother, she expects mildew, isolation, and old resentments-not synchronized clocks, whispering tape recorders, or the scent of lilies blooming in the dead of winter. Margot Hale is deteriorating from a mysterious dermal condition, her skin splitting into branching fissures. But what begins as a strange medical anomaly quickly deepens into something far more horrifying.

Every room in the house harbors echoes. Every cassette tape in the basement shelves holds a memory-and perhaps something worse. As Iris unravels the family's buried trauma, she discovers that remembering can wound, forgetting can rot, and some inheritances are written not in wills, but in blood and bone.

Caught between science and the supernatural, Iris must confront the truth: her body is changing, the house is watching, and the entity her family once tried to contain is waking again.

Nest is a literary psychological horror novel steeped in dread, body horror, and inherited trauma. A slow-burn descent into madness for fans of House of Leaves, The Silent Patient, and Hereditary.
