A dark past casts a long shadow in this gripping psychological horror noir.

In her late teens, Meredith Berg-Olsen had had all the makings of a runway model. Now in her late forties, after everything she had been through including horrors that John could only guess at she looked bloodless instead of pale, skeletal instead of slender, more dead than alive. John Penrose has two secrets. One is the roommate he keeps hidden from the world: his high-school sweetheart, Meredith. His other secret is the reason he feels compelled to look after her.

As John navigates a new relationship and tries to build a normal life, the weight of his past and Meredith's increasing instability threaten to consume them both. Can John find redemption, or will the darkness claim them all? Perfect for readers who enjoy atmospheric suspense, chilling revelations, and characters grappling with the burden of their choices.
