WHAT WE DO IN THE SHADOWS (eldritch edition) X HANNIBAL RISING - Lovecraftian mythos meets family drama in this serialised novel by C. M. Rosens, All Rights Reserved 2021, Reissued by Canelo Horror 2024. BUY YOUR COPY HERE AND READ ALONG!

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. To some, she's a threat - to others, a weapon.

Katy needs allies to help her control her Changes, but she's stuck with her oldest brother, a drug-addled playboy who voted to have her killed but is chaotic enough to have genuinely changed his mind, and her eyeball-eating, god-like 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.
