Thirteenth by C. M. Rosens offers a unique blend of Lovecraftian horror and kitchen sink drama in a 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 transform her into a creature that hungers for her family's flesh.

All Katy wants is to finish college and go backpacking with her friends, but as her transformation looms and her protector is brutally murdered, her plans look increasingly unlikely.

Katy needs allies, yet she's stuck with her oldest brother, a drug-addled playboy, and her eyeball-eating cousin, whose idea of protection involves abduction, dark rituals, and encouraging her homicidal side.

If anyone is to survive Katy's transformation, scores need to be settled and fears faced—and Katy is not the only one who needs to confront them.

A witty, dark, and utterly bewitching eldritch family drama with a Lovecraftian twist set in East Sussex.
